4
5 Changes between 0.9.8zc and 0.9.8zd [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
8
9 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
10 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
11 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
12 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
13 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
14
15 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
16
17 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
18 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
19
20 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
21
22 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
23 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
24 errors for some broken certificates.
25
26 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
27
28 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
29
30 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
31 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
32
33 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
34 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
35 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
36 (negative or with leading zeroes).
37
38 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
39 of the OpenSSL core team.
40
41 (CVE-2014-8275)
42 [Steve Henson]
43
44 Changes between 0.9.8zb and 0.9.8zc [15 Oct 2014]
45
46 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
47
48 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
49 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
50 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
51 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
52 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
53 attack.
54 (CVE-2014-3567)
55 [Steve Henson]
56
57 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
58
59 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
60 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
61 configured to send them.
62 (CVE-2014-3568)
63 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
64
65 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
66 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
67 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
68 (CVE-2014-3566)
69 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
70
71 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
72
73 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
74 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
75 DigestInfo structures.
76
77 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
78
79 [Steve Henson]
80
81 Changes between 0.9.8za and 0.9.8zb [6 Aug 2014]
82
83 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
84 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
85 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
86 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
87
88 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
89 issue.
90 (CVE-2014-3510)
91 [Emilia Käsper]
92
93 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
94 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
95 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
96 (CVE-2014-3507)
97 [Adam Langley]
98
99 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
100 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
101 Denial of Service attack.
102 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
103 (CVE-2014-3506)
104 [Adam Langley]
105
106 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
107 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
108 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
109 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
110 this issue.
111 (CVE-2014-3505)
112 [Adam Langley]
113
114 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
115 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
116 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
117 output to the attacker.
118
119 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
120 (CVE-2014-3508)
121 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
122
123 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
124 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
125 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
126 [Bodo Moeller]
127
128 Changes between 0.9.8y and 0.9.8za [5 Jun 2014]
129
130 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
131 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
132 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
133
134 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
135 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
136 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
137
138 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
139 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
140 in a DoS attack.
141
142 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
143 (CVE-2014-0221)
144 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
145
146 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
147 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
148 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
149 code on a vulnerable client or server.
150
151 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
152 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
153
154 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
155 are subject to a denial of service attack.
156
157 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
158 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
159 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
160
161 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
162 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
163 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
164 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
165
166 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
167 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
168 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
169
170 Thanks to mancha for backporting the fix to the 0.9.8 branch.
171
172 *) Fix handling of warning-level alerts in SSL23 client mode so they
173 don't cause client-side termination (eg. on SNI unrecognized_name
174 warnings). Add client and server support for six additional alerts
175 per RFC 6066 and RFC 4279.
176 [mancha]
177
178 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
179 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
180 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
181 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
182 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
183 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
184 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
185
186 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
187
188 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
189
190 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
191 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
192 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
193
194 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
195 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
196 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
197 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
198 (CVE-2013-0169)
199 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
200
201 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
202 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
203 [Steve Henson]
204
205 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
206 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
207 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
208 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
209 (This is a backport)
210 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
211
212 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
213 [Steve Henson]
214
215 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
216
217 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
218 to fix DoS attack.
219
220 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
221 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
222 (CVE-2012-2333)
223 [Steve Henson]
224
225 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
226 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
227 [Steve Henson]
228
229 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
230
231 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
232 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
233 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
234 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
235 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
236
237 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
238
239 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
240 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
241 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
242
243 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
244 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
245 (CVE-2012-2110)
246 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
247
248 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
249
250 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
251 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
252 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
253 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
254 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
255 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
256 an MMA defence is not necessary.
257 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
258 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
259 [Steve Henson]
260
261 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
262 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
263 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
264 [Steve Henson]
265
266 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
267
268 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
269 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
270 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
271 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
272 [Antonio Martin]
273
274 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
275
276 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
277 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
278 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
279 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
280 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
281 paper describing this attack can be found at:
282 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
283 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
284 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
285 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
286 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
287 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
288 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
289
290 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
291 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
292
293 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
294 (CVE-2011-4576)
295 [Adam Langley (Google)]
296
297 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
298 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
299 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
300 [Adam Langley (Google)]
301
302 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
303 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
304 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
305 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
306
307 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
308 [Adam Langley (Google)]
309
310 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
311 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
312
313 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
314 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
315 [Adam Langley (Google)]
316
317 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
318 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
319 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
320
321 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
322 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
323 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
324 the last update always remained unused).
325 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
326
327 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
328 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
329 [Adam Langley (Google)]
330
331 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
332 [Bodo Moeller]
333
334 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
335 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
336
337 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
338
339 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
340
341 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
342
343 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
344 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
345
346 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
347 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
348 ambiguous.
349 [Steve Henson]
350
351 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
352
353 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
354 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
355 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
356 [Steve Henson]
357
358 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
359 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
360 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
361 [Ben Laurie]
362
363 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
364
365 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
366 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
367 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
368 [Steve Henson]
369
370 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
371 [Steve Henson]
372
373 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
374 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
375 some broken encodings work correctly.
376 [Steve Henson]
377
378 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
379 is also one of the inputs.
380 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
381
382 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
383 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
384 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
385 etc are non-op.
386 [Steve Henson]
387
388 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
389
390 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
391 OpenSSL 1.0.0.]
392
393 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
394 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
395 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
396
397 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
398 common in certificates and some applications which only call
399 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
400 [Steve Henson]
401
402 *) VMS fixes:
403 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
404 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
405 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
406 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
407
408 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
409
410 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
411 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
412 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
413 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
414 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
415 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
416 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
417 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
418
419 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
420 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
421 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
422
423 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
424
425 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
426 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
427
428 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
429 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
430 [Bodo Moeller]
431
432 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
433 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
434 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
435 [Steve Henson]
436
437 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
438 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
439 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
440 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
441 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
442 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
443 [Steve Henson]
444
445 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
446 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
447 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
448 [Steve Henson]
449
450 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
451 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
452 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
453 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
454 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
455 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
456 CVE-2009-4355.
457 [Steve Henson]
458
459 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
460 change when encrypting or decrypting.
461 [Bodo Moeller]
462
463 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
464 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
465 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
466 [Steve Henson]
467
468 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
469 [Steve Henson]
470
471 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
472 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
473 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
474 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
475 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
476 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
477 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
478 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
479 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
480 [Steve Henson]
481
482 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
483 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
484 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
485 [Steve Henson]
486
487 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
488 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
489 [Steve Henson]
490
491 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
492 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
493 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
494 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
495 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
496 know what you are doing.
497 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
498
499 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
500 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
501 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
502 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
503 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
504 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
505 the handshake.
506 [Steve Henson]
507
508 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
509 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
510 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
511 correctly.
512 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
513
514 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
515 warnings in other configurations.
516 [Steve Henson]
517
518 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
519 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
520 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
521 systems need.
522 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
523
524 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
525 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
526 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
527
528 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
529 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
530 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
531 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
532 [Steve Henson]
533
534 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
535 and restored.
536 [Steve Henson]
537
538 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
539 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
540 clash.
541 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
542
543 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
544 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
545 other than a simple chain.
546 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
547
548 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
549 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
550 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
551 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
552 [Steve Henson]
553
554 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
555 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
556 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
557 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
558 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
559 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
560 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
561 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
562 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
563
564 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
565 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
566 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
567 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
568 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
569 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
570 (CVE-2009-1377)
571 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
572
573 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
574 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
575 [Daniel Mentz]
576
577 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
578 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
579
580 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
581 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
582
583 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
584
585 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
586 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
587 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
588 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
589 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
590 you're doing.
591 [Ben Laurie]
592
593 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
594
595 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
596 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
597 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
598 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
599
600 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
601 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
602 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
603 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
604
605 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
606 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
607 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
608 [Steve Henson]
609
610 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
611 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
612 level.
613 [Steve Henson]
614
615 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
616 to handle some structures.
617 [Steve Henson]
618
619 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
620 for a '\n'
621 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
622
623 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
624 [Matthieu Herrb]
625
626 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
627 [Steve Henson]
628
629 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
630 [Steve Henson]
631
632 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
633 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
634 chosen compiler.
635 [Ben Laurie]
636
637 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
638
639 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
640 (CVE-2008-5077).
641 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
642
643 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
644 [Ben Laurie]
645
646 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
647 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
648 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
649 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
650
651 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
652 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
653
654 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
655 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
656 [Bodo Moeller]
657
658 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
659 s_client and s_server.
660 [Ben Laurie]
661
662 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
663 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
664
665 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
666 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
667
668 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
669 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
670 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
671 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
672 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
673 [Bodo Moeller]
674
675 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
676
677 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
678 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
679 [PR #1679]
680
681 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
682 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
683 [Nagendra Modadugu]
684
685 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
686 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
687 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
688 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
689
690 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
691 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
692
693 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
694
695 *) Various precautionary measures:
696
697 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
698
699 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
700 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
701 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
702
703 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
704 outside the expected range.
705
706 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
707 builds.
708
709 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
710
711 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
712 the load fails. Useful for distros.
713 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
714
715 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
716 [Steve Henson]
717
718 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
719 [Huang Ying]
720
721 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
722
723 This work was sponsored by Logica.
724 [Steve Henson]
725
726 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
727 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
728 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
729
730 This work was sponsored by Logica.
731 [Steve Henson]
732
733 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
734 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
735 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
736 files.
737 [Steve Henson]
738
739 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
740
741 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
742 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
743 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
744 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
745
746 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
747 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
748 [Joe Orton]
749
750 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
751
752 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
753 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
754 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
755
756 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
757
758 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
759 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
760 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
761 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
762 [Lutz Jaenicke]
763
764 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
765 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
766 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
767 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
768 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
769 invalid read after the end of 'db').
770 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
771
772 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
773
774 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
775 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
776 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
777 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
778 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
779
780 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
781 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
782
783 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
784 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
785 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
786 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
787 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
788
789 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
790
791 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
792 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
793 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
794 sets may exist with different names.
795 [Steve Henson]
796
797 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
798 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
799 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
800 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
801 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
802 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
803 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
804 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
805 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
806 implementation.
807 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
808
809 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
810 implemention in the following ways:
811
812 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
813 hard coded.
814
815 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
816 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
817 ignored for embedded content.
818
819 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
820 with the enable-cms configuration option.
821 [Steve Henson]
822
823 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
824 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
825 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
826 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
827
828 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
829 uncompresses any data passed through it.
830 [Steve Henson]
831
832 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
833 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
834 [Steve Henson]
835
836 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
837 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
838 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
839 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
840 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
841 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
842 data.
843 [Steve Henson]
844
845 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
846 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
847 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
848
849 *) Netware support:
850
851 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
852 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
853 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
854 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
855 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
856 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
857 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
858 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
859 platform
860 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
861 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
862 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
863 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
864 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
865 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
866 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
867
868 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
869 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
870 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
871 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
872 to s_client and s_server.
873 [Steve Henson]
874
875 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
876
877 *) Fix various bugs:
878 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
879 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
880 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
881 + Fix ia64 assembler code
882 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
883
884 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
885
886 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
887 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
888 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
889 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
890 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
891 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
892 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
893 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
894 [Andy Polyakov]
895
896 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
897 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
898 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
899 Steve Henson]
900
901 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
902 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
903 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
904 supported.
905
906 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
907 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
908 SSL_SESSION.
909
910 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
911 protection in servers so again support should be possible
912 with no application modification.
913
914 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
915 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
916
917 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
918 or server extensions to be examined.
919
920 This work was sponsored by Google.
921 [Steve Henson]
922
923 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
924 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
925 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
926 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
927 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
928 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
929 server_name extension.
930
931 New functions (subject to change):
932
933 SSL_get_servername()
934 SSL_get_servername_type()
935 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
936
937 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
938
939 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
940 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
941 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
942 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
943 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
944
945 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
946
947 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
948 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
949 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
950 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
951 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
952 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
953 option.
954
955 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
956
957 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
958 [Steve Henson]
959
960 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
961 [Andy Polyakov]
962
963 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
964 (which previously caused an internal error).
965 [Bodo Moeller]
966
967 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
968 [Ben Laurie]
969
970 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
971 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
972
973 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
974 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
975 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
976
977 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
978 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
979 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
980 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
981
982 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
983 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
984 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
985 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
986
987 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
988 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
989 information. For detailed background information, see
990 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
991 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
992 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
993 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
994 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
995 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
996 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
997 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
998 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
999 remove a conditional branch.
1000
1001 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1002 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1003 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1004 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1005 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1006 remains as a deprecated alias.
1007
1008 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1009 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1010 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1011 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1012
1013 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1014 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1015 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1016 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1017 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1018 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1019 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1020 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1021
1022 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1023
1024 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1025 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1026 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1027 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1028 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1029 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1030 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1031 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1032 in a different context.
1033 [Bodo Moeller]
1034
1035 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1036 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1037 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1038 [Bodo Moeller]
1039
1040 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1041 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1042 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1043
1044 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1045
1046 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1047 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1048 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1049 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1050 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1051 [Victor Duchovni]
1052
1053 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1054 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1055 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1056 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1057 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1058 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1059 [Bodo Moeller]
1060
1061 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1062 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1063 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1064 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1065 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1066 [Bodo Moeller]
1067
1068 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1069 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1070
1071 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1072 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1073 Improve header file function name parsing.
1074 [Steve Henson]
1075
1076 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1077 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1078 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
1079
1080 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1081
1082 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1083 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1084 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1085
1086 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1087 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1088
1089 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1090 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1091
1092 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1093 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1094 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1095
1096 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1097 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1098 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1099 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1100 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1101 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1102 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1103 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1104 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1105
1106 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1107 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1108 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1109 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1110 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1111
1112 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1113 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1114 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1115 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1116 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1117 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1118 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1119 multiple values to extend the available space.
1120
1121 [Bodo Moeller]
1122
1123 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1124
1125 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1126 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1127
1128 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1129 [Ben Laurie]
1130
1131 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1132 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1133 undesirable limitations.
1134 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1135
1136 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1137 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1138 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1139 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1140 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1141 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1142 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1143 [Bodo Moeller]
1144
1145 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1146
1147 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1148 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1149 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1150
1151 The latter two were purportedly from
1152 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1153 appear there.
1154
1155 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1156 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1157 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1158 [Bodo Moeller]
1159
1160 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1161 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1162 [Bodo Moeller]
1163
1164 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1165 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1166 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1167 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1168
1169 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1170 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1171 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1172 [NTT]
1173
1174 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1175 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1176 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1177 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1178 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1179 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1180 [Steve Henson]
1181
1182 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1183
1184 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1185 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1186 [Steve Henson]
1187
1188 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1189 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1190
1191 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1192 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1193 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1194 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1195 [Douglas Stebila]
1196
1197 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1198 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1199 [Steve Henson]
1200
1201 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1202 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1203 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1204 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1205 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1206 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1207 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1208 can't be loaded.
1209 [Steve Henson]
1210
1211 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1212 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1213 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1214 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1215 [Steve Henson]
1216
1217 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1218 under VC++ build system.
1219 [Steve Henson]
1220
1221 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1222 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1223 [Richard Levitte]
1224
1225 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1226
1227 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1228 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1229 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1230 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1231 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1232
1233 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1234 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1235 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1236
1237 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1238 [Steve Henson]
1239
1240 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1241 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1242 [Nils Larsch]
1243
1244 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1245 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1246
1247 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1248 [Nick Mathewson]
1249
1250 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1251 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1252
1253 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1254 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1255 [Steve Henson]
1256
1257 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1258 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1259 smime utility.
1260 [Steve Henson]
1261
1262 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1263
1264 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1265 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1266
1267 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1268 [Richard Levitte]
1269
1270 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1271 key into the same file any more.
1272 [Richard Levitte]
1273
1274 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1275 [Andy Polyakov]
1276
1277 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1278 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1279
1280 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1281 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1282 [Richard Levitte]
1283
1284 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1285 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1286 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1287 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1288 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1289 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1290
1291 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1292 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1293 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1294 [Steve Henson]
1295
1296 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1297 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1298 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1299 - add new function for parameter creation
1300 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1301 BN_BLINDING parameters
1302 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1303 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1304 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1305 threads.
1306 [Nils Larsch]
1307
1308 *) Add support for DTLS.
1309 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1310
1311 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1312 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1313 [Walter Goulet]
1314
1315 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1316 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1317 [Nils Larsch]
1318
1319 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1320 the apps/openssl applications.
1321 [Nils Larsch]
1322
1323 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1324 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1325 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1326 [Ben Laurie]
1327
1328 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1329 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1330
1331 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1332 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1333
1334 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1335 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1336 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1337 avoid this algorithm.)
1338
1339 [Bodo Moeller]
1340
1341 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1342 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1343 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1344 [Richard Levitte]
1345
1346 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1347 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1348 [Andy Polyakov]
1349
1350 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1351 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1352 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1353 pod file:
1354
1355 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1356
1357 The blank line is mandatory.
1358
1359 [Steve Henson]
1360
1361 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1362 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1363 sources.
1364 [Steve Henson]
1365
1366 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1367 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1368
1369 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1370 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1371 to support policy checking and print out.
1372 [Steve Henson]
1373
1374 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1375 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1376 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1377 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1378
1379 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1380 [Geoff Thorpe]
1381
1382 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1383 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1384
1385 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1386 implementation contributed by IBM.
1387 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1388
1389 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1390 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1391 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1392 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1393
1394 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1395 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1396
1397 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1398 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1399 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1400 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1401 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1402 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1403 [Steve Henson]
1404
1405 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1406 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1407 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1408 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1409 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1410 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1411 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1412 [Geoff Thorpe]
1413
1414 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1415 [Steve Henson]
1416
1417 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1418 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1419 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1420 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1421 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1422 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1423 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1424 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1425 [Steve Henson]
1426
1427 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1428 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1429 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1430 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1431 [Steve Henson]
1432
1433 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1434 syntax:
1435
1436 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1437 [Steve Henson]
1438
1439 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1440 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1441 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1442 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1443 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1444 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1445 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1446 [Geoff Thorpe]
1447
1448 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1449 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1450 [Geoff Thorpe]
1451
1452 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1453 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1454 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1455 [Steve Henson]
1456
1457 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1458 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1459 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1460 below).
1461 [Geoff Thorpe]
1462
1463 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1464 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1465 [Richard Levitte]
1466
1467 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1468 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1469 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1470 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1471 [Geoff Thorpe]
1472
1473 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1474 initialised value as BN_new().
1475 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1476
1477 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1478 [Steve Henson]
1479
1480 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1481 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1482 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1483 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1484 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1485 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1486 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1487 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1488 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1489 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1490 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1491 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1492 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1493 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1494 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1495
1496 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1497 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1498 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1499 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1500 [Geoff Thorpe]
1501
1502 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1503 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1504 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1505 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1506 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1507 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1508 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1509 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1510 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1511 [Geoff Thorpe]
1512
1513 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1514 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1515 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1516 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1517 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1518 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1519 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1520 [Geoff Thorpe]
1521
1522 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1523 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1524 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1525 these have been updated also.
1526 [Geoff Thorpe]
1527
1528 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1529 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1530 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1531 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1532 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1533 functions.
1534 [Steve Henson]
1535
1536 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1537 structure of type "other".
1538 [Steve Henson]
1539
1540 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1541 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1542 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1543 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1544 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1545 situation in the script.
1546 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1547
1548 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1549 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1550 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1551 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1552 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1553 used as premaster secret.
1554 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1555
1556 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1557 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1558 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1559
1560 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1561 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1562
1563 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1564 control of the error stack.
1565 [Richard Levitte]
1566
1567 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1568 [Richard Levitte]
1569
1570 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1571 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1572 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1573 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1574 [Richard Levitte]
1575
1576 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1577 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1578 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1579 [Richard Levitte]
1580
1581 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1582 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1583 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1584 a memory area.
1585 [Richard Levitte]
1586
1587 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1588 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1589 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1590 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1591 [Richard Levitte]
1592
1593 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1594 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1595 the following flags are defined:
1596
1597 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1598 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1599 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1600 number.
1601
1602 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1603 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1604 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1605 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1606 returns zero.
1607 [Richard Levitte]
1608
1609 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1610 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1611 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1612 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1613 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1614 [Richard Levitte]
1615
1616 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1617 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1618 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1619 [Richard Levitte]
1620
1621 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1622 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1623 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1624 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1625 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1626 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1627 [Richard Levitte]
1628
1629 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1630 req and dirName.
1631 [Steve Henson]
1632
1633 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1634 [Steve Henson]
1635
1636 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1637 [Steve Henson]
1638
1639 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1640 [Steve Henson]
1641
1642 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1643 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1644 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1645 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1646 default implementation more easily.
1647 [Geoff Thorpe]
1648
1649 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1650 in config files.
1651 [Steve Henson]
1652
1653 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1654 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1655 [Richard Levitte]
1656
1657 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1658 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1659 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1660 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1661
1662 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1663 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1664 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1665 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1666 [Steve Henson]
1667
1668 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1669 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1670 to do it.
1671 [Richard Levitte]
1672
1673 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1674 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1675 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1676 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1677 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1678 scalar * generator).
1679 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1680
1681 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1682 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1683 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1684 correctly.
1685 [Steve Henson]
1686
1687 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1688 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1689 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1690 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1691 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1692 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1693 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1694 linker additions, eg;
1695 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1696 [Geoff Thorpe]
1697
1698 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1699 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1700 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1701 [Geoff Thorpe]
1702
1703 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1704 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1705 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1706 via PR#459)
1707 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1708
1709 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1710 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1711 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1712 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1713 [Geoff Thorpe]
1714
1715 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1716 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1717 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1718 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1719 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1720 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1721 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1722 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1723 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1724 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1725
1726 Example for using the new callback interface:
1727
1728 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1729 void *my_arg = ...;
1730 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1731
1732 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1733
1734 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1735 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1736 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1737 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1738 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1739 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1740 */
1741
1742 [Geoff Thorpe]
1743
1744 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1745 available to TLS with the number defined in
1746 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1747 [Richard Levitte]
1748
1749 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1750 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1751
1752 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1753 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1754 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1755 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1756
1757 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1758 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1759
1760 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1761 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1762 well.
1763 [Richard Levitte]
1764
1765 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1766 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1767 [Richard Levitte]
1768
1769 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1770 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1771 and a macro that behave like
1772 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1773
1774 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1775 [Nils Larsch]
1776
1777 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1778 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1779 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1780 if applicable.
1781 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1782
1783 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1784 [Bodo Moeller]
1785
1786 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1787 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1788 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1789 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1790 directory engines/.
1791 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1792 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1793 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1794 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1795 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1796 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1797 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1798 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1799
1800 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1801 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1802 [Richard Levitte]
1803
1804 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1805 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1806
1807 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1808 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1809 files while avoiding the low level API.
1810
1811 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1812 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1813 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1814 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1815
1816 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1817 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1818 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1819 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1820 instead of the low level API.
1821 [Steve Henson]
1822
1823 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1824 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1825 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1826 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1827 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1828 PKCS#7 code.
1829
1830 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1831 down to the template encoder.
1832 [Steve Henson]
1833
1834 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1835 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1836 [Bodo Moeller]
1837
1838 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1839 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1840 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1841 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1842
1843 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1844 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1845
1846 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1847 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1848
1849 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1850 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1851 [Bodo Moeller]
1852
1853 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1854 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1855 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1856 [Bodo Moeller]
1857
1858 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1859 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1860
1861 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1862 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1863
1864 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1865 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1866 New EC_METHOD:
1867
1868 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1869
1870 New API functions:
1871
1872 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1873 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1874 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1875 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1876 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1877 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1878
1879 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1880 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1881 enable it).
1882
1883 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1884 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1885 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1886 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1887 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1888 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1889 various internal method names.)
1890
1891 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1892 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1893
1894 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1895 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1896
1897 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1898 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1899
1900 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1901 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1902 methods are undefined.
1903
1904 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1905 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1906
1907 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1908 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1909 length of the modulus.
1910
1911 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1912 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1913
1914 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1915 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1916
1917 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1918 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1919
1920 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1921 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1922 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1923
1924 BN_GF2m_add
1925 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1926 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1927 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1928 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1929 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
1930 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1931 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1932 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1933 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1934
1935 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1936 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1937
1938 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1939 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1940 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1941 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1942 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1943 where
1944 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1945 This applies to the following functions:
1946
1947 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
1948 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
1949 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
1950 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1951 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1952 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
1953 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1954 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1955 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1956 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1957
1958 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1959
1960 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1961 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1962
1963 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1964
1965 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1966 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1967 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1968 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1969 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1970
1971 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1972 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1973
1974 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1975 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1976 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1977
1978 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1979 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1980
1981 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1982 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1983 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1984 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1985 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1986
1987 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1988 functions
1989 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1990 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1991 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1992 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1993 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1994 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1995 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1996 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1997 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1998 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1999 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2000 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2001
2002 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2003 functions
2004 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
2005 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2006 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2007 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2008 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2009
2010 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2011 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2012 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2013 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2014
2015 *) Add functions
2016 EC_POINT_point2bn()
2017 EC_POINT_bn2point()
2018 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2019 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2020 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2021 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2022 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2023
2024 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2025 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2026 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2027 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2028 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2029 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2030 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2031 adding different types of curves.
2032 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2033
2034 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2035 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2036 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2037 [Bodo Moeller]
2038
2039 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2040 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2041
2042 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2043 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2044 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2045 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2046
2047 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2048
2049 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2050 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2051
2052 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2053 library. Most notably,
2054 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2055 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2056 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2057 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2058 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2059 extracted before the specific public key;
2060 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2061 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2062
2063 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2064 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2065 function
2066 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2067 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2068 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2069 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2070 accessed via
2071 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2072 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2073 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2074
2075 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2076 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2077 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2078 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2079 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2080 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2081 differing sizes.
2082 [Richard Levitte]
2083
2084 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2085
2086 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2087 sensitive data.
2088 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2089
2090 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2091 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2092 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2093 [Bodo Moeller]
2094
2095 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2096 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2097 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2098 [Victor Duchovni]
2099
2100 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2101 [Steve Henson]
2102
2103 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2104 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2105 [Steve Henson]
2106
2107 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2108 run algorithm test programs.
2109 [Steve Henson]
2110
2111 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2112 [Steve Henson]
2113
2114 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2115 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2116 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2117 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2118 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2119 [Bodo Moeller]
2120
2121 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2122 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2123 [Steve Henson]
2124
2125 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2126
2127 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2128 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2129 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2130
2131 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2132 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2133
2134 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2135 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2136
2137 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2138 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2139 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2140
2141 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2142 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2143 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2144 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2145 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2146 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2147 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2148 [Bodo Moeller]
2149
2150 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2151
2152 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2153 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2154
2155 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2156 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2157 undesirable limitations.
2158 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2159
2160 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2161
2162 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2163 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2164 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2165
2166 The latter two were purportedly from
2167 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2168 appear there.
2169
2170 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2171 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2172 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2173 [Bodo Moeller]
2174
2175 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2176 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2177 [Bodo Moeller]
2178
2179 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2180
2181 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2182 module in FIPS mode.
2183 [Steve Henson]
2184
2185 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2186 [Steve Henson]
2187
2188 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2189 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2190 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2191 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2192 [Steve Henson]
2193
2194 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2195
2196 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2197 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2198 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2199 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2200 the difference induced by this change.
2201 [Andy Polyakov]
2202
2203 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2204
2205 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2206 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2207 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2208 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2209 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2210
2211 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2212 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2213 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2214
2215 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2216 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2217 [Steve Henson]
2218
2219 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2220 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2221 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2222 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2223 biased k.)
2224 [Bodo Moeller]
2225
2226 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2227 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2228 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2229 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2230 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2231
2232 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2233 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2234 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2235 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2236 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2237 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2238
2239 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2240
2241 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2242 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2243 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2244 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2245 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2246 [Bodo Moeller]
2247
2248 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2249 clients need.
2250 [Steve Henson]
2251
2252 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2253 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2254 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2255 [Steve Henson]
2256
2257 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2258 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2259 structures constant.
2260 [Steve Henson]
2261
2262 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2263
2264 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2265 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2266
2267 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2268 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2269 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2270 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2271 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2272 some needed definitions.
2273 [Steve Henson]
2274
2275 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2276 [Ulf Möller]
2277
2278 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2279 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2280 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2281 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2282 [Richard Levitte]
2283
2284 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2285
2286 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2287 server and client random values. Previously
2288 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2289 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2290
2291 This change has negligible security impact because:
2292
2293 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2294 data.
2295
2296 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2297 handshake.
2298
2299 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2300 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2301 values.
2302
2303 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2304 to our attention.
2305
2306 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2307
2308 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2309 [Ulf Möller]
2310
2311 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2312 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2313 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2314
2315 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2316 [Steve Henson]
2317
2318 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2319 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2320 [Andy Polyakov]
2321
2322 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2323 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2324 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2325
2326 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2327 [Steve Henson]
2328
2329 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2330 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2331 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2332 certificates.
2333 [Steve Henson]
2334
2335 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2336 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2337 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2338 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2339
2340 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2341 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2342 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2343 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2344 been given)
2345 [Richard Levitte]
2346
2347 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2348
2349 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2350 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2351 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2352 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2353 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2354 [Steve Henson]
2355
2356 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2357 [Steve Henson]
2358
2359 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2360 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2361
2362 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2363 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2364 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2365 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2366 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2367 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2368 rather than being initialized to 1.
2369 [Steve Henson]
2370
2371 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2372
2373 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2374 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2375 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2376
2377 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2378 (CVE-2004-0112)
2379 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2380
2381 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2382 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2383 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2384 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2385 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2386 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2387 [Richard Levitte]
2388
2389 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2390 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2391 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2392 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2393 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2394 for these cases.
2395 [Steve Henson]
2396
2397 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2398 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2399 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2400 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2401 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2402 [Steve Henson]
2403
2404 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2405 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2406 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2407 < 0.9.7.
2408 [Steve Henson]
2409
2410 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2411 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2412
2413 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2414 [Steve Henson]
2415
2416 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2417
2418 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2419
2420 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2421 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2422
2423 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2424
2425 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2426 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2427
2428 [Steve Henson]
2429
2430 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2431 exiting on the first error in a request.
2432 [Steve Henson]
2433
2434 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2435 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2436 specifications.
2437 [Steve Henson]
2438
2439 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2440 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2441 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2442 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2443
2444 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2445 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2446 [Richard Levitte]
2447
2448 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2449 blocks during encryption.
2450 [Richard Levitte]
2451
2452 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2453 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2454 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2455 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2456 certain size.
2457 [Steve Henson]
2458
2459 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2460 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2461 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2462 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2463 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2464 parser.
2465 [Steve Henson]
2466
2467 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2468
2469 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2470 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2471 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2472 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2473 [Bodo Moeller]
2474
2475 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2476 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2477 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2478 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2479 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2480
2481 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2482 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2483 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2484 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2485 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2486 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2487 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2488 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2489 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2490 [Bodo Moeller]
2491
2492 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2493 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2494 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2495 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2496 [Geoff Thorpe]
2497
2498 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2499 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2500 [Ulf Moeller]
2501
2502 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2503
2504 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2505 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2506 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2507 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2508 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2509
2510 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2511 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2512 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2513
2514 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2515 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2516 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2517 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2518 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2519
2520 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2521 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2522 used by default when no-err is given.
2523 [Richard Levitte]
2524
2525 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2526 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2527
2528 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2529 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2530 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2531 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2532 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2533
2534 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2535 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2536 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2537 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2538
2539 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2540
2541 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2542
2543 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2544
2545 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2546 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2547 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2548 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2549 root is omitted).
2550 [Steve Henson]
2551
2552 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2553 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2554
2555 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2556 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2557 [Steve Henson]
2558
2559 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2560 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2561 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2562 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2563 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2564
2565 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2566 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2567 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2568 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2569 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2570 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2571 followup to PR #377.
2572 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2573
2574 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2575 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2576 [Andy Polyakov]
2577
2578 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2579 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2580 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2581 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2582
2583 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2584
2585 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2586 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2587
2588 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2589 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2590 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2591 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2592 client and server.
2593 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2594 PR #377.
2595 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2596
2597 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2598 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2599 removed entirely.
2600 [Richard Levitte]
2601
2602 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2603 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2604 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2605 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2606 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2607 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2608 of libcrypto.
2609 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2610 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2611 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2612 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2613 have to be made anyway).
2614 [Richard Levitte]
2615
2616 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2617 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2618 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2619 [Steve Henson]
2620
2621 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2622 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2623 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2624 [Richard Levitte]
2625
2626 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2627 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2628 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2629
2630 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2631 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2632 edit numbers of the version.
2633 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2634
2635 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2636 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2637 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2638
2639 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2640 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2641
2642 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2643 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2644 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2645
2646 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2647 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2648
2649 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2650 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2651
2652 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2653 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2654
2655 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2656 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2657
2658 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2659 overflows.
2660 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2661
2662 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2663 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2664 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2665
2666 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2667 representations in a platform independent manner.
2668 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2669
2670 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2671 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2672 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2673
2674 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2675 indents.
2676 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2677
2678 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2679 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2680
2681 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2682 full. Fixed.
2683 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2684
2685 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2686 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2687 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2688
2689 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2690 unconditionally).
2691 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2692
2693 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2694 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2695
2696 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2697 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2698
2699 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2700 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2701
2702 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2703 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2704
2705 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2706 CBCParameter.
2707 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2708
2709 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2710 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2711
2712 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2713 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2714
2715 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2716 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2717 exploitable.
2718 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2719
2720 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2721 the 0.9.6 release series:
2722
2723 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2724 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2725 (CVE-2002-0657)
2726 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2727
2728 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2729 [Richard Levitte]
2730
2731 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2732 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2733
2734 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2735 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2736
2737 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2738 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2739 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2740 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2741
2742 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2743 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2744 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2745
2746 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2747 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2748 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2749 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2750
2751 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2752 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2753 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2754 some local tweaks:
2755
2756 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2757 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2758 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2759 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2760 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2761 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2762 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2763 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2764 done
2765
2766 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2767 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2768 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2769 [Richard Levitte]
2770
2771 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2772 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2773 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2774 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2775 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2776
2777 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2778 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2779
2780 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2781 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2782 [Richard Levitte]
2783
2784 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2785 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2786 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2787 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2788 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2789 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2790 [Steve Henson]
2791
2792 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2793 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2794 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2795 [Steve Henson]
2796
2797 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2798 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2799 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2800
2801 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2802 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2803 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2804 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2805 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2806 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2807 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2808 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2809
2810 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2811 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2812 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2813 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2814 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2815 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2816 [Steve Henson]
2817
2818 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2819 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2820 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2821 declaration has been changed from
2822 int (*cb)()
2823 into
2824 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2825 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2826 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2827 has been changed into
2828 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2829
2830 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2831 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2832 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2833
2834 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2835 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2836
2837 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2838 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2839 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2840 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2841 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2842 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2843 always load it have also been added.
2844 [Steve Henson]
2845
2846 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2847 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2848 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2849
2850 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2851
2852 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2853 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2854 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2855
2856 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2857 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2858 command line option can be used to specify an
2859 alternative file.
2860 [Steve Henson]
2861
2862 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2863 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2864 [Steve Henson]
2865
2866 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2867 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2868 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2869 [Steve Henson]
2870
2871 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2872 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2873 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2874 to work with the new engine framework.
2875 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2876
2877 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2878 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2879 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2880 to work with the new engine framework.
2881 [Richard Levitte]
2882
2883 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2884 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2885 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2886
2887 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2888 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2889
2890 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2891 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2892 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2893 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2894 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2895 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2896
2897 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2898 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2899
2900 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2901 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2902
2903 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2904 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2905 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2906 [Ben Laurie]
2907
2908 *) Add new functions
2909 ERR_peek_last_error
2910 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2911 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2912 These are similar to
2913 ERR_peek_error
2914 ERR_peek_error_line
2915 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2916 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2917 still in the error queue.
2918 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2919
2920 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2921 like:
2922 default_algorithms = ALL
2923 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2924 [Steve Henson]
2925
2926 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2927 [Steve Henson]
2928
2929 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2930 [Steve Henson]
2931
2932 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2933 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2934 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2935 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2936
2937 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2938 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2939
2940 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2941 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2942
2943 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2944 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2945 [Bodo Moeller]
2946
2947 *) New functions/macros
2948
2949 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2950 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2951 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2952 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2953
2954 to request calling a callback function
2955
2956 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2957 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2958
2959 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2960 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2961 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2962 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2963 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2964 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2965 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2966 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2967 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2968 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2969
2970 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2971 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2972 [Bodo Moeller]
2973
2974 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2975 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2976 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2977 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2978 the configuration scripts.
2979
2980 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2981 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2982 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2983
2984 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2985 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2986
2987 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2988 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2989 when reusing an existing buffer.
2990 [Bodo Moeller]
2991
2992 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2993 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2994 [Steve Henson]
2995
2996 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2997 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2998 [Ben Laurie]
2999
3000 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3001 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3002 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3003 has the same effect.
3004 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3005
3006 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3007 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3008 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3009 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3010 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3011 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3012 exception.
3013
3014 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3015 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3016 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3017 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3018
3019 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3020 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3021 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3022 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3023
3024 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3025 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3026 won't work.
3027
3028 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3029 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3030 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3031 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3032 default), and then completely removed.
3033 [Richard Levitte]
3034
3035 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3036 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3037 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3038 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3039 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3040 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3041 particular extension is supported.
3042 [Steve Henson]
3043
3044 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3045 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3046 [Steve Henson]
3047
3048 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3049 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3050 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3051 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3052 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3053 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3054 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3055 requires the destination to be valid.
3056
3057 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3058 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3059 [Steve Henson]
3060
3061 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3062 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3063 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3064 [Bodo Moeller]
3065
3066 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3067 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3068
3069 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3070 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3071 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3072 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3073 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3074 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3075 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3076 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3077 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3078 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3079 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3080 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3081 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3082 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3083 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3084 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3085 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3086 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3087 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3088 the new code.
3089 [Geoff Thorpe]
3090
3091 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3092 [Steve Henson]
3093
3094 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3095 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3096 become part of libeay.num as well.
3097 [Richard Levitte]
3098
3099 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3100 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3101 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3102 false once a handshake has been completed.
3103 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3104 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3105 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3106 client has followed the request.)
3107 [Bodo Moeller]
3108
3109 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3110 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3111 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3112 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3113
3114 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3115 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3116 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3117 [Bodo Moeller]
3118
3119 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3120 [Steve Henson]
3121
3122 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3123 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3124 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3125 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3126
3127 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3128 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3129 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3130
3131 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3132 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3133 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3134 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3135 [Geoff Thorpe]
3136
3137 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3138 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3139 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3140 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3141 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3142 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3143 [Geoff Thorpe]
3144
3145 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3146 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3147 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3148 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3149 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3150 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3151 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3152 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3153 [Geoff Thorpe]
3154
3155 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3156 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3157 [Geoff Thorpe]
3158
3159 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3160 [Ben Laurie]
3161
3162 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3163 md_data void pointer.
3164 [Ben Laurie]
3165
3166 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3167 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3168 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3169 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3170 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3171 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3172 [Ben Laurie]
3173
3174 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3175 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3176 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3177 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3178 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3179 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3180 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3181 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3182 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3183 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3184 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3185 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3186 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3187 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3188 rather than letting it slide.
3189
3190 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3191 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3192 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3193 [Geoff Thorpe]
3194
3195 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3196 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3197 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3198 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3199 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3200 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3201 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3202 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3203 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3204 [Geoff Thorpe]
3205
3206 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3207 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3208 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3209 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3210 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3211
3212 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3213 [Geoff Thorpe]
3214
3215 *) Add EVP test program.
3216 [Ben Laurie]
3217
3218 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3219 [Ben Laurie]
3220
3221 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3222 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3223 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3224 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3225 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3226 [Steve Henson]
3227
3228 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3229 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3230 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3231 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3232 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3233 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3234 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3235
3236 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3237 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3238 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3239 Usage example:
3240
3241 EVP_MD_CTX md;
3242
3243 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3244 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3245 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3246 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3247 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3248
3249 [Ben Laurie]
3250
3251 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3252 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3253 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3254 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3255 anyway): E.g.,
3256
3257 des_key_schedule ks;
3258
3259 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3260 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3261
3262 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3263 [Ben Laurie]
3264
3265 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3266 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3267 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3268 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3269 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3270 functions prevents this.
3271 [Steve Henson]
3272
3273 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3274 [Ben Laurie]
3275
3276 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3277 correct _ecb suffix.
3278 [Ben Laurie]
3279
3280 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3281 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3282 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3283 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3284 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3285 [Steve Henson]
3286
3287 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3288 [Richard Levitte]
3289
3290 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3291 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3292 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3293 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3294
3295 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3296 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3297
3298 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3299 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3300 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3301 via Richard Levitte]
3302
3303 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3304 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3305 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3306 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3307 [Geoff Thorpe]
3308
3309 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3310 Before:
3311 encrypt
3312 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

3325 [Ben Laurie]
3326
3327 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3328 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3329
3330 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3331 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3332 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3333 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3334 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3335 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3336 [Steve Henson]
3337
3338 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3339 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3340 [Richard Levitte]
3341
3342 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3343 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3344 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3345 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3346
3347 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3348 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3349 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3350 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3351 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3352 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3353 callback.
3354 [Richard Levitte]
3355
3356 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3357 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3358 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3359 and interrupts/cancellations.
3360 [Richard Levitte]
3361
3362 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3363 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3364 [Steve Henson]
3365
3366 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3367 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3368 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3369
3370 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3371 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3372 kind of callback.
3373 [Richard Levitte]
3374
3375 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3376 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3377 than this minimum value is recommended.
3378 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3379
3380 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3381 that are easily reachable.
3382 [Richard Levitte]
3383
3384 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3385 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3386
3387 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3388
3389 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3390 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3391 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3392 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3393 [Steve Henson]
3394
3395 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3396 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3397 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3398 [Steve Henson]
3399
3400 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3401 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3402 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3403 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3404 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3405 internally such as S/MIME.
3406
3407 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3408 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3409 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3410
3411 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3412 applications.
3413 [Steve Henson]
3414
3415 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3416 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3417 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3418 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3419
3420 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3421
3422 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3423
3424 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3425 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3426 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3427 handling.
3428 [Steve Henson]
3429
3430 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3431 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3432 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3433 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3434 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3435 a window system and the like.
3436 [Richard Levitte]
3437
3438 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3439 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3440 [Geoff]
3441
3442 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3443 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3444 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3445 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3446 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3447 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3448 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3449 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3450 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3451 ENGINE structure.
3452 [Geoff]
3453
3454 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3455 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3456 tag cache.
3457 [Steve Henson]
3458
3459 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3460 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3461 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3462 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3463 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3464 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3465 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3466 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3467 [Geoff]
3468
3469 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3470 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3471 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3472 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3473 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3474 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3475 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3476 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3477 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3478 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3479 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3480 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3481 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3482 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3483 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3484 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3485 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3486 [Geoff]
3487
3488 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3489 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3490 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3491 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3492 internal engine_int.h header.
3493 [Geoff]
3494
3495 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3496 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3497 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3498 modify their own ones).
3499 [Geoff]
3500
3501 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3502 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3503 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3504 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3505 later on via ctrl() commands.
3506 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3507 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3508 structural references.
3509 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3510 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3511 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3512 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3513 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3514 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3515 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3516 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3517 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3518 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3519 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3520 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3521 [Geoff]
3522
3523 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3524 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3525 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3526 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3527 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3528 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3529 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3530 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3531 [Bodo Moeller]
3532
3533 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3534 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3535 [Steve Henson]
3536
3537 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3538 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3539 [Steve Henson]
3540
3541 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3542 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3543 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3544 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3545 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3546 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3547 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3548 [Steve Henson]
3549
3550 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3551 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3552 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3553 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3554 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3555
3556 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3557 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3558 generator).
3559 [Bodo Moeller]
3560
3561 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3562
3563 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3564 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3565 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3566
3567 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3568 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3569
3570 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3571 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3572 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3573
3574 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3575 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3576
3577 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3578 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3579
3580 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3581
3582 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3583 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3584 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3585 [Bodo Moeller]
3586
3587 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3588 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3589 [Richard Levitte]
3590
3591 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3592 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3593 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3594 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3595 is 40 of more characters long.
3596 [Steve Henson]
3597
3598 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3599 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3600 pointers.
3601 [Steve Henson]
3602
3603 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3604 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3605 [Bodo Moeller]
3606
3607 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3608 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3609 might.
3610 [Steve Henson]
3611
3612 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3613
3614 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3615 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3616
3617 ASN1 error codes
3618 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3619 ...
3620 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3621 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3622 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3623 ...
3624 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3625 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3626
3627 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3628 [Bodo Moeller]
3629
3630 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3631 suffices.
3632 [Bodo Moeller]
3633
3634 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3635 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3636 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3637 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3638 and
3639 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3640
3641 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3642 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3643
3644 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3645 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3646 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3647 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3648 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3649 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3650
3651 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3652 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3653
3654 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3655 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3656
3657 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3658 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3659
3660 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3661 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3662 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3663 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3664
3665 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3666 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3667
3668 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3669 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3670
3671 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3672 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3673 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3674 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3675 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3676 [Richard Levitte]
3677
3678 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3679 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3680 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3681 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3682 [Steve Henson]
3683
3684 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3685 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3686 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3687 trust settings.
3688 [Steve Henson]
3689
3690 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3691 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3692 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3693 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3694 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3695 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3696 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3697 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3698 ocsp utility.
3699 [Steve Henson]
3700
3701 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3702 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3703 [Steve Henson]
3704
3705 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3706 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3707 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3708 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3709 [Steve Henson]
3710
3711 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3712 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3713 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3714 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3715 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3716 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3717 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3718 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3719 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3720 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3721 [Steve Henson]
3722
3723 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3724 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3725 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3726 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3727 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3728 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3729 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3730 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3731
3732 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3733 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3734 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3735 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3736 [Richard Levitte]
3737
3738 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3739 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3740 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3741 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3742 opensslconf.h.
3743 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3744 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3745 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3746 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3747 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3748 what is available.
3749 [Richard Levitte]
3750
3751 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3752 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3753 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3754 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3755 auto incremented.
3756 [Steve Henson]
3757
3758 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3759 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3760 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3761 [Steve Henson]
3762
3763 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3764 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3765 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3766 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3767 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3768 [Steve Henson]
3769
3770 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3771 [Steve Henson]
3772
3773 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3774 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3775 option to ocsp utility.
3776 [Steve Henson]
3777
3778 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3779 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3780 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3781 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3782 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3783 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3784 the request is nonce-less.
3785 [Steve Henson]
3786
3787 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3788 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3789 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3790 [Bodo Moeller]
3791
3792 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3793 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3794 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3795 [Steve Henson]
3796
3797 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3798 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3799 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3800 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3801 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3802 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3803
3804 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3805 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3806 appear to exist.
3807 [Steve Henson]
3808
3809 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3810 additional certificates supplied.
3811 [Steve Henson]
3812
3813 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3814 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3815 signature against.
3816 [Richard Levitte]
3817
3818 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3819 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3820 AES OIDs.
3821
3822 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3823 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3824 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3825 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3826 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3827 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3828 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3829 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3830 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3831
3832 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3833 request to response.
3834 [Steve Henson]
3835
3836 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3837 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3838 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3839 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3840 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3841 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3842 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3843 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3844 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3845 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3846 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3847 [Steve Henson]
3848
3849 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3850 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3851 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3852 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3853 [Steve Henson]
3854
3855 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3856 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3857
3858 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3859 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3860 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3861 [Steve Henson]
3862
3863 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3864 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3865 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3866 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3867 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3868
3869 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3870 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3871 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3872 [Steve Henson]
3873
3874 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3875 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3876 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3877 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3878 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3879 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3880 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3881 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3882
3883 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3884 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3885 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3886 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3887 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3888 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3889 [Steve Henson]
3890
3891 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3892 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3893 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3894 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3895 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3896 printout format cleaned up.
3897 [Steve Henson]
3898
3899 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3900 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3901 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3902 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3903 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3904 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3905 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3906 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3907 [Steve Henson]
3908
3909 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3910 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3911 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3912 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3913 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3914 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3915 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3916 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3917 [Steve Henson]
3918
3919 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3920 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3921 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3922 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3923 section to use.
3924 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3925
3926 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3927 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3928 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3929 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3930 [Steve Henson]
3931
3932 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3933 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3934 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3935 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3936 in the index file.
3937 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3938
3939 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3940 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3941 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3942 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3943
3944 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3945 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3946
3947 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3948 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3949 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3950 [Steve Henson]
3951
3952 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3953 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3954 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3955 [Bodo Moeller]
3956
3957 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3958 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3959 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3960 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3961 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3962 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3963 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3964 functions are provided:
3965
3966 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3967 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3968 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3969 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3970
3971 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3972 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3973 extended allocation function is enabled.
3974 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3975 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3976 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3977
3978 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3979 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3980 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3981 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3982 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3983 [Geoff Thorpe]
3984
3985 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3986 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3987 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3988 be queried.
3989 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3990 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3991 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3992 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3993
3994 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3995 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3996 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3997 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3998 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3999 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4000 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4001 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4002 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4003 [Richard Levitte]
4004
4005 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4006 provide utility functions which an application needing
4007 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4008 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4009 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4010
4011 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4012 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4013 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4014 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4015 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4016 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4017 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4018 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4019 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4020
4021 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4022 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4023 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4024 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4025 [Steve Henson]
4026
4027 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4028 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4029 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4030 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4031 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4032 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4033 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4034 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4035 will be added elsewhere.
4036 [Steve Henson]
4037
4038 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4039 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4040 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4041 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4042 [Steve Henson]
4043
4044 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4045 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4046 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4047 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4048 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4049 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4050 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4051 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4052 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4053 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4054 to produce the required SET OF.
4055 [Steve Henson]
4056
4057 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4058 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4059 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4060 [Richard Levitte]
4061
4062 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4063 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4064 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4065 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4066 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4067 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4068 [Steve Henson]
4069
4070 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4071 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4072 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4073 [Steve Henson]
4074
4075 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4076 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4077 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4078 [Richard Levitte]
4079
4080 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4081 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4082 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4083 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4084 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4085 [Steve Henson]
4086
4087 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4088 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4089 [Steve Henson]
4090
4091 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4092 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4093 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4094 certifcates and CRLs.
4095 [Steve Henson]
4096
4097 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4098 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4099 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4100 [Steve Henson]
4101
4102 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4103 entries for variables.
4104 [Steve Henson]
4105
4106 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4107 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4108 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4109 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4110 [Bodo Moeller]
4111
4112 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4113 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4114 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4115 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4116 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4117 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4118 [Bodo Moeller]
4119
4120 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4121 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4122
4123 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4124 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4125 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4126 [Steve Henson]
4127
4128 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4129 print routines.
4130 [Steve Henson]
4131
4132 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4133 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4134 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4135 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4136 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4137 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4138 [Steve Henson]
4139
4140 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4141 [Steve Henson]
4142
4143 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4144 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4145 for now but they will eventually go away.
4146 [Steve Henson]
4147
4148 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4149 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4150 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4151 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4152 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4153 has also been converted to the new form.
4154 [Steve Henson]
4155
4156 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4157 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4158 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4159 for negative moduli.
4160 [Bodo Moeller]
4161
4162 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4163 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4164 [Bodo Moeller]
4165
4166 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4167 set.
4168 [Bodo Moeller]
4169
4170 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4171 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4172 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4173 type-specific callbacks.
4174 [Geoff Thorpe]
4175
4176 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4177 RFC 2712.
4178 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4179 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4180
4181 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4182 in sections depending on the subject.
4183 [Richard Levitte]
4184
4185 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4186 Windows.
4187 [Richard Levitte]
4188
4189 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4190 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4191 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4192 be handled deterministically).
4193 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4194
4195 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4196 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4197 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4198 [Bodo Moeller]
4199
4200 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4201 [Bodo Moeller]
4202
4203 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4204 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4205 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4206 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4207 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4208 [Bodo Moeller]
4209
4210 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4211 sign of the number in question.
4212
4213 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4214
4215 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4216 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4217 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4218 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4219 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4220 [Bodo Moeller]
4221
4222 *) New function BN_swap.
4223 [Bodo Moeller]
4224
4225 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4226 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4227 results on negative inputs.
4228 [Bodo Moeller]
4229
4230 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4231 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4232 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4233 [Bodo Moeller]
4234
4235 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4236 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4237 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4238 and add new functions:
4239
4240 BN_nnmod
4241 BN_mod_sqr
4242 BN_mod_add
4243 BN_mod_add_quick
4244 BN_mod_sub
4245 BN_mod_sub_quick
4246 BN_mod_lshift1
4247 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4248 BN_mod_lshift
4249 BN_mod_lshift_quick
4250
4251 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4252
4253 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4254 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4255
4256 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4257 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4258 be reduced modulo m.
4259 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4260
4261 #if 0
4262 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4263 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4264 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4265
4266 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4267 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4268 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4269 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4270 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4271 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4272 differing sizes.
4273 [Richard Levitte]
4274 #endif
4275
4276 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4277 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4278 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4279 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4280 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4281
4282 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4283 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4284 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4285 cause any problems.
4286 [Bodo Moeller]
4287
4288 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4289 [Richard Levitte]
4290
4291 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4292 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4293 [Richard Levitte]
4294
4295 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4296 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4297 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4298 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4299 time)
4300 [Richard Levitte]
4301
4302 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4303 [Richard Levitte]
4304
4305 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4306 [Richard Levitte]
4307
4308 *) Add the following functions:
4309
4310 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4311 ENGINE_load_chil()
4312 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4313 ENGINE_load_nuron()
4314 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4315
4316 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4317 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4318 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4319 libraries unless it's really needed.
4320
4321 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4322 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4323 declarations (they differed!).
4324 [Richard Levitte]
4325
4326 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4327 [Richard Levitte]
4328
4329 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4330 [Richard Levitte]
4331
4332 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4333 [Bodo Moeller]
4334
4335 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4336 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4337 [Richard Levitte]
4338
4339 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4340 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4341 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4342
4343 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4344 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4345 [Richard Levitte]
4346
4347 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4348 [Richard Levitte]
4349
4350 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4351 [Richard Levitte]
4352
4353 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4354 [Ben Laurie]
4355
4356 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4357 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4358 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4359
4360 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4361 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4362 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4363 different shared library filenames on each system.
4364 [Geoff Thorpe]
4365
4366 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4367 [Richard Levitte]
4368
4369 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4370 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4371 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4372 of two sections.
4373 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4374
4375 *) NCONF changes.
4376 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4377 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4378 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4379 binary backward compatibility.
4380 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4381 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4382 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4383 LDAP server.
4384 [Richard Levitte]
4385
4386 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4387 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4388 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4389 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4390 this case.
4391 [Steve Henson]
4392
4393 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4394 [Ben Laurie]
4395
4396 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4397 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4398 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4399 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4400 set.
4401 [Steve Henson]
4402
4403 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4404 [Richard Levitte]
4405
4406 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4407
4408 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4409 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4410 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4411
4412 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4413
4414 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4415
4416 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4417 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4418 [Steve Henson]
4419
4420 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4421
4422 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4423
4424 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4425 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4426
4427 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4428 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4429
4430 [Steve Henson]
4431
4432 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4433 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4434 specifications.
4435 [Steve Henson]
4436
4437 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4438 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4439 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4440 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4441
4442 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4443 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4444 [Richard Levitte]
4445
4446 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4447
4448 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4449 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4450 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4451 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4452 [Bodo Moeller]
4453
4454 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4455 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4456 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4457 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4458 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4459
4460 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4461 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4462 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4463 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4464 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4465 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4466 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4467 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4468 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4469 [Bodo Moeller]
4470
4471 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4472
4473 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4474 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4475 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4476 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4477 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4478
4479 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4480 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4481 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4482
4483 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4484
4485 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4486 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4487 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4488 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4489 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4490 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4491 [Geoff Thorpe]
4492
4493 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4494 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4495 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4496 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4497 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4498 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4499
4500 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4501 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4502 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4503
4504 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4505 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4506 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4507 EVP_cleanup().
4508 [Richard Levitte]
4509
4510 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4511 being properly terminated.
4512 [Richard Levitte]
4513
4514 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4515 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4516 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4517 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4518
4519 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4520 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4521 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4522 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4523 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4524 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4525 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4526 change.
4527 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4528
4529 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4530 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4531 [Bodo Moeller]
4532
4533 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4534 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4535 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4536 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4537 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4538 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4539 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4540 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4541
4542 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4543 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4544 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4545 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4546 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4547
4548 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4549 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4550 [Steve Henson]
4551
4552 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4553
4554 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4555 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4556 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4557
4558 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4559
4560 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4561 and get fix the header length calculation.
4562 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4563 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4564 Steve Henson]
4565
4566 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4567 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4568 assertions could call abort()).
4569 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4570
4571 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4572
4573 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4574 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4575 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4576 supplied buffer.
4577 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4578
4579 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4580 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4581 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4582 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4583
4584 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4585 [Nils Larsch]
4586
4587 *) New option
4588 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4589 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4590 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4591
4592 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4593 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4594 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4595 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4596 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4597 applications.
4598 [Bodo Moeller]
4599
4600 *) Changes in security patch:
4601
4602 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4603 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4604 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4605 F30602-01-2-0537.
4606
4607 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4608 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4609 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4610 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4611 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4612
4613 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4614 happen in practice.
4615 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4616
4617 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4618 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4619 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4620
4621 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4622 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4623 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4624
4625 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4626 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4627 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4628
4629 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4630
4631 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4632 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4633 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4634
4635 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4636 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4637
4638 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4639 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4640 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4641 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4642 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4643 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4644 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4645
4646 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4647 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4648 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4649 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4650 [Bodo Moeller]
4651
4652 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4653 [Bodo Moeller]
4654
4655 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4656 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4657 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4658 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4659 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4660 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4661
4662 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4663 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4664 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4665 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4666 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4667 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4668
4669 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4670 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4671 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4672 BN_generate_prime().)
4673
4674 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4675 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4676 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4677 better.
4678 [Bodo Moeller]
4679
4680 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4681 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4682 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4683
4684 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4685 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4686 when using non-blocking I/O.
4687 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4688
4689 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4690 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4691
4692 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4693 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4694 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4695
4696 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4697 configuration for the versions before that.
4698 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4699
4700 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4701 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4702 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4703 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4704 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4705
4706 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4707 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4708 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4709 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4710
4711 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4712 value is 0.
4713 [Richard Levitte]
4714
4715 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4716 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4717 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4718
4719 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4720 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4721
4722 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4723 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4724 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4725 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4726 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4727 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4728 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4729 session cache.
4730
4731 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4732 using a local variable.
4733 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4734
4735 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4736 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4737 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4738
4739 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4740 [Richard Levitte]
4741
4742 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4743 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4744
4745 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4746 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4747 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4748
4749 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4750
4751 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4752 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4753 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4754 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4755 [Bodo Moeller]
4756
4757 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4758 present.
4759 [Steve Henson]
4760
4761 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4762 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4763 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4764 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4765 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4766
4767 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4768 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4769 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4770
4771 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4772 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4773 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4774
4775 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4776 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4777 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4778 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4779
4780 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4781 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4782 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4783 modules).
4784 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4785
4786 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4787 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4788 from 0.9.7.
4789 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4790
4791 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4792 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4793 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4794 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4795
4796 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4797 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4798 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4799 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4800
4801 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4802 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4803
4804 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4805 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4806 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4807 [Bodo Moeller]
4808
4809 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4810 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4811 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4812 become invalid.
4813 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4814
4815 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4816 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4817 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4818 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4819 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4820 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4821 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4822 [Bodo Moeller]
4823
4824 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4825 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4826 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4827 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4828
4829 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4830 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4831 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4832 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4833 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4834 the client will at least see that alert.
4835 [Bodo Moeller]
4836
4837 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4838 correctly.
4839 [Bodo Moeller]
4840
4841 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4842 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4843 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4844
4845 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4846 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4847 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4848 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4849 HelloRequest.
4850
4851 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4852 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4853 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4854
4855 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4856 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4857 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4858 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4859 may leak via logfiles.)
4860
4861 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4862 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4863 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4864 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4865 the legal range.
4866 [Bodo Moeller]
4867
4868 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4869 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4870 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4871
4872 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4873 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4874 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4875 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4876 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4877 [Bodo Moeller]
4878
4879 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4880 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4881
4882 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4883 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4884 followed by modular reduction.
4885 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4886
4887 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4888 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4889 [Bodo Moeller]
4890
4891 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4892 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4893 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4894 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4895 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4896
4897 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4898 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4899
4900 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4901 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4902 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4903
4904 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4905 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4906 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4907 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4908 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4909 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4910 automatically.
4911 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4912
4913 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4914 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4915 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4916 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4917 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4918
4919 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4920 [Andy Polyakov]
4921
4922 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4923 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4924 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4925 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4926 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4927 to allow the necessary settings.
4928 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4929
4930 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4931 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4932 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4933 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4934 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4935
4936 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4937 dh->length and always used
4938
4939 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4940
4941 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4942 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4943 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4944 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4945 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4946 dh->length.
4947
4948 So switch back to
4949
4950 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4951
4952 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4953 otherwise.
4954 [Bodo Moeller]
4955
4956 *) In
4957
4958 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4959 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4960 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4961 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4962
4963 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4964 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4965 always reject numbers >= n.
4966 [Bodo Moeller]
4967
4968 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4969 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4970 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4971 variable) is not atomic.
4972 [Bodo Moeller]
4973
4974 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4975 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4976 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4977 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4978
4979 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4980 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4981
4982 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4983 little-endian MIPS.
4984 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4985
4986 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4987 [Richard Levitte]
4988
4989 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4990
4991 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4992 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4993 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4994 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4995 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4996 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4997 to traverse all of 'state'.
4998
4999 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5000 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5001 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5002
5003 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5004 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5005
5006 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5007 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5008 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5009 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5010 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5011 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5012 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5013 further strengthens the PRNG.
5014 [Bodo Moeller]
5015
5016 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5017 [Andy Polyakov]
5018
5019 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5020 an error message in this case.
5021 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5022
5023 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5024 [Steve Henson]
5025
5026 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5027 positive and less than q.
5028 [Bodo Moeller]
5029
5030 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5031 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5032 that itself.
5033 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5034
5035 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5036 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5037 [Bodo Moeller]
5038
5039 *) Fix OAEP check.
5040 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5041
5042 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5043 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5044 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5045 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5046 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5047 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5048 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5049 paper.)
5050
5051 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5052 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5053 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5054 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5055
5056 Both problems are now fixed.
5057 [Bodo Moeller]
5058
5059 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5060 (previously it was 1024).
5061 [Bodo Moeller]
5062
5063 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5064 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5065 [Steve Henson]
5066
5067 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5068 [Steve Henson]
5069
5070 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5071 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5072 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5073 [Steve Henson]
5074
5075 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5076 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5077 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5078 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5079 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5080 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5081 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5082 environment variables.
5083
5084 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5085 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5086 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5087 [Bodo Moeller]
5088
5089 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5090 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5091 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5092 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5093 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5094 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5095 [Bodo Moeller]
5096
5097 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5098 versions of 'test'.
5099 [Bodo Moeller]
5100
5101 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5102
5103 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5104 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5105
5106 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5107 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5108 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5109 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5110 CygWin.
5111 [Richard Levitte]
5112
5113 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5114 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5115 amount of data available.
5116 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5117 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5118
5119 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5120 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5121 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5122 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5123 [Bodo Moeller]
5124
5125 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5126 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5127 and UnixWare.
5128 [Richard Levitte]
5129
5130 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5131 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5132 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5133 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5134 [Ulf Moeller]
5135
5136 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5137 [Andy Polyakov]
5138
5139 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5140 [Richard Levitte]
5141
5142 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5143 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5144 [Steve Henson]
5145 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5146
5147 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5148 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5149 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5150 (but broken) behaviour.
5151 [Steve Henson]
5152
5153 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5154 it when found.
5155 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5156
5157 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5158 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5159 [Bodo Moeller]
5160
5161 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5162 did not exist.
5163 [Bodo Moeller]
5164
5165 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5166 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5167
5168 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5169 [Richard Levitte]
5170
5171 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5172 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5173 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5174
5175 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5176 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5177 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5178 [Steve Henson]
5179
5180 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5181 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5182 [Ulf Moeller]
5183
5184 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5185 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5186
5187 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5188
5189 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5190
5191 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5192 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5193 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5194 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5195 [Bodo Moeller]
5196
5197 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5198 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5199
5200 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5201 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5202 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5203
5204 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5205 was empty.
5206 [Steve Henson]
5207 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5208
5209 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5210 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5211 but the code is actually correct.
5212 [Steve Henson]
5213
5214 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5215 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5216 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5217 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5218 and leaves the highest bit random.
5219 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5220
5221 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5222 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5223 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5224 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5225 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5226 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5227 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5228 [Bodo Moeller]
5229
5230 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5231 [Ulf Moeller]
5232
5233 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5234 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5235 [Steve Henson]
5236
5237 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5238 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5239 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5240 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5241 headers.
5242 [Richard Levitte]
5243
5244 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5245 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5246 and break the signature.
5247 [Steve Henson]
5248 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5249
5250 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5251 DH ciphersuites.
5252 [Steve Henson]
5253
5254 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5255 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5256 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5257 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5258 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5259 [Bodo Moeller]
5260
5261 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5262 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5263
5264 *) ./config script fixes.
5265 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5266
5267 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5268 [Bodo Moeller]
5269
5270 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5271 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5272 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5273 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5274 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5275
5276 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5277 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5278 [Bodo Moeller]
5279
5280 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5281 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5282 [Steve Henson]
5283
5284 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5285 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5286 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5287 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5288
5289 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5290 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5291
5292 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5293 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5294 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5295 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5296 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5297
5298 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5299 [Bodo Moeller]
5300
5301 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5302 [Ulf Möller]
5303
5304 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5305 [Ulf Möller]
5306
5307 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5308 [Bodo Moeller]
5309
5310 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5311 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5312 [Bodo Moeller]
5313
5314 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5315 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5316 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5317 result of the server certificate verification.)
5318 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5319
5320 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5321 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5322 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5323 [Bodo Moeller]
5324
5325 *) Fix SSL_peek:
5326 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5327 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5328 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5329 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5330 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5331 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5332 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5333 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5334 [Bodo Moeller]
5335
5336 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5337 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5338 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5339 happening the other way round.
5340 [Geoff Thorpe]
5341
5342 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5343 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5344 [Bodo Moeller]
5345
5346 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5347 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5348 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5349 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5350 [Richard Levitte]
5351
5352 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5353 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5354
5355 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5356
5357 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5358 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5359 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5360 that.
5361
5362 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5363
5364 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5365
5366 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5367 static ones.
5368 [Richard Levitte]
5369
5370 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5371
5372 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5373 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5374 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5375 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5376 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5377
5378 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5379 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5380 matter what.
5381 [Richard Levitte]
5382
5383 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5384 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5385
5386 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5387
5388 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5389 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5390 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5391 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5392 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5393 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5394 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5395 by the Finished messages.
5396 [Bodo Moeller]
5397
5398 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5399 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5400
5401 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5402 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5403 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5404 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5405 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5406 appropriately.
5407 [Steve Henson]
5408
5409 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5410 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5411 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5412 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5413 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5414 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5415 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5416 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5417 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5418 together.
5419 [Steve Henson]
5420
5421 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5422 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5423 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5424 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5425
5426 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5427 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5428 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5429 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5430 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5431 the answer.
5432
5433 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5434 been tested well enough.
5435 [Richard Levitte]
5436
5437 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5438 it can return incorrect results.
5439 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5440 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5441 [Bodo Moeller]
5442
5443 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5444 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5445 include zero length content when signing messages.
5446 [Steve Henson]
5447
5448 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5449 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5450 [Bodo Möller]
5451
5452 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5453 [Richard Levitte]
5454
5455 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5456 wrong sign.
5457 [Ulf Möller]
5458
5459 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5460 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5461 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5462 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5463 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5464 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5465 [Richard Levitte]
5466
5467 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5468 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5469
5470 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5471 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5472
5473 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5474 random number < q in the DSA library.
5475 [Ulf Möller]
5476
5477 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5478 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5479 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5480 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5481 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5482 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5483 just makes things more complicated.)
5484 [Bodo Moeller]
5485
5486 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5487 from EGD.
5488 [Ben Laurie]
5489
5490 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5491 work better on such systems.
5492 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5493
5494 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5495 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5496 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5497 [Steve Henson]
5498
5499 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5500 if there was more than one signature.
5501 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5502
5503 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5504 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5505 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5506 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5507 [Richard Levitte]
5508
5509 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5510 rather than always using the current time.
5511 [Steve Henson]
5512
5513 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5514 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5515 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5516 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5517 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5518 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5519
5520 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5521 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5522
5523 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5524
5525 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5526 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5527 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5528 the same hash value.
5529
5530 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5531 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5532 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5533 with X509_STORE internally.
5534
5535 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5536 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5537
5538 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5539 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5540 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5541 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5542 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5543 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5544 entirely (maybe later...).
5545
5546 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5547
5548 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5549 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5550 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5551 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5552 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5553 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5554 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5555 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5556
5557 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5558 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5559
5560 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5561 to customise the verify behaviour.
5562 [Steve Henson]
5563
5564 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5565 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5566 [Steve Henson]
5567
5568 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5569 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5570 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5571 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5572 request is improperly encoded.
5573 [Steve Henson]
5574
5575 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5576 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5577 BIO_write(b, ...).
5578
5579 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5580 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5581
5582 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5583 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5584 words set to zero.)
5585 [Bodo Moeller]
5586
5587 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5588 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5589 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5590 [Bodo Moeller]
5591
5592 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5593 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5594 BIO/fp routines also added.
5595 [Steve Henson]
5596
5597 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5598 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5599
5600 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5601 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5602 demos/state_machine.
5603 [Ben Laurie]
5604
5605 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5606 generation and verification.
5607 [Steve Henson]
5608
5609 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5610 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5611 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5612 encode and decode it manually.
5613 [Steve Henson]
5614
5615 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5616 compile under VC++.
5617 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5618
5619 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5620 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5621 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5622 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5623
5624 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5625 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5626 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5627 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5628 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5629 [Steve Henson]
5630
5631 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5632 [Richard Levitte]
5633
5634 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5635 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5636 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5637
5638 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5639 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5640 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5641 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5642 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5643 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5644 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5645 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5646
5647 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5648 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5649
5650 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5651
5652 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5653 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5654 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5655
5656 [Richard Levitte]
5657
5658 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5659 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5660 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5661 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5662 [Richard Levitte]
5663
5664 *) MD4 implemented.
5665 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5666
5667 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5668 [Richard Levitte]
5669
5670 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5671 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5672 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5673 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5674 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5675 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5676 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5677 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5678 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5679 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5680 short or long names are found.
5681 [Steve Henson]
5682
5683 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5684 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5685
5686 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5687 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5688 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5689 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5690
5691 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5692 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5693 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5694 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5695 [Bodo Moeller]
5696
5697 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5698 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5699 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5700 [Richard Levitte]
5701
5702 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5703 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5704 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5705 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5706 to allow the various flags to be set.
5707 [Steve Henson]
5708
5709 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5710 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5711 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5712 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5713 dates to be checked.
5714 [Steve Henson]
5715
5716 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5717 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5718 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5719 [Steve Henson]
5720
5721 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5722 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5723 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5724 [Steve Henson]
5725
5726 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5727 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5728 [Bodo Moeller]
5729
5730 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5731 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5732 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5733 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5734 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5735 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5736 [Richard Levitte]
5737
5738 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5739 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5740 Random Numbers.
5741 [Ulf Möller]
5742
5743 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5744 DSA key.
5745 [Steve Henson]
5746
5747 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5748 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5749 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5750 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5751 form signing output easier to verify.
5752 [Steve Henson]
5753
5754 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5755 [Steve Henson]
5756
5757 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5758 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5759 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5760 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5761 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5762 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5763 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5764 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5765 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5766 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5767 [Steve Henson]
5768
5769 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5770
5771 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5772 the syntax given in objects.README.
5773 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5774 obj_mac.h.
5775 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5776 obj_mac.h.
5777
5778 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5779 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5780 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5781 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5782 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5783 consistent name changes.
5784 [Richard Levitte]
5785
5786 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5787 [Bodo Moeller]
5788
5789 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5790 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5791 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5792 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5793 [Richard Levitte]
5794
5795 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5796 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5797 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5798 of safestack.h .
5799 [Steve Henson]
5800
5801 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5802 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5803 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5804 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5805 [Steve Henson]
5806
5807 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5808 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5809 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5810 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5811 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5812 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5813 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5814 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5815 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5816 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5817 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5818 [Steve Henson]
5819
5820 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5821 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5822 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5823 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5824 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5825 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5826 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5827 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5828 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5829 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5830 [Steve Henson]
5831
5832 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5833 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5834 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5835 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5836
5837 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5838 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5839 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5840 omit any duplicate addresses.
5841 [Steve Henson]
5842
5843 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5844 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5845 [Bodo Moeller]
5846
5847 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5848 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5849 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5850 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5851 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5852 [Bodo Moeller]
5853
5854 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5855 software:
5856 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5857 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5858 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5859 Free => OPENSSL_free
5860 [Richard Levitte]
5861
5862 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5863 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5864 [Bodo Moeller]
5865
5866 *) CygWin32 support.
5867 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5868
5869 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5870 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5871 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5872 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5873 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5874 approach.
5875 [Geoff Thorpe]
5876
5877 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5878 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5879 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5880 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5881 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5882 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5883 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5884 [Geoff Thorpe]
5885
5886 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5887 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5888 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5889 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5890 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5891 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5892 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5893 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5894 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5895 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5896 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5897 [Bodo Moeller]
5898
5899 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5900 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5901 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5902 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5903 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5904
5905 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5906 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5907 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5908 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5909 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5910
5911 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5912 ciphers.
5913
5914 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5915 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5916 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5917 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5918
5919 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5920
5921 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5922 of macros.
5923
5924 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5925 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5926 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5927 flags.
5928
5929 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5930 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5931 any installed hardware versions can.
5932 [Steve Henson]
5933
5934 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5935 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5936 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5937 number.
5938 [Bodo Moeller]
5939
5940 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5941 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5942 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5943 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5944 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5945
5946 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5947 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5948 [Steve Henson]
5949
5950 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5951 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5952 [Richard Levitte]
5953
5954 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5955 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5956 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5957 features.
5958 [Steve Henson]
5959
5960 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5961 [Ulf Möller]
5962
5963 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5964 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5965 but no ssl client purpose.
5966 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5967
5968 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5969 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5970 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5971 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5972 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5973 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5974 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5975 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5976 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5977 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5978 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5979 [Steve Henson]
5980
5981 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5982 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5983 be obtained from the error queue.
5984 [Bodo Moeller]
5985
5986 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5987 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5988 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5989 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5990 [Bodo Moeller]
5991
5992 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5993 [Ulf Möller]
5994
5995 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5996 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5997 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5998 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5999 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6000 [Geoff Thorpe]
6001
6002 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6003 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6004 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6005 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6006 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6007 [Geoff Thorpe]
6008
6009 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6010 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6011 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6012 may not be NULL.
6013 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6014
6015 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6016 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6017 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6018 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6019 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6020 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6021 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6022 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6023 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6024 or "the configuration storage API"...
6025
6026 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6027
6028 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6029 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6030
6031 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6032
6033 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6034
6035 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6036 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6037 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6038 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6039 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6040 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6041 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6042
6043 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6044 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6045 [Richard Levitte]
6046
6047 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6048 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6049 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6050 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6051 [Bodo Moeller]
6052
6053 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6054 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6055 them in a portable way.
6056 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6057
6058 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6059
6060 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6061
6062 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6063 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6064
6065 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6066 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6067 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6068 <attili@amaxo.com>]
6069
6070 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6071 was larger than the MD block size.
6072 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6073
6074 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6075 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6076 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6077 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6078 components.
6079 [Steve Henson]
6080
6081 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6082 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6083 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6084
6085 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6086 discouraged.
6087 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6088
6089 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6090 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6091 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6092 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6093 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6094 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6095
6096 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6097 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6098
6099 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6100 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6101 [Bodo Moeller]
6102
6103 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6104 [Bodo Moeller]
6105
6106 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6107 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6108 its own key.
6109 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6110 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6111 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6112 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6113 [Bodo Moeller]
6114
6115 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6116 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6117 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6118 does not suppress any output.
6119 [Richard Levitte]
6120
6121 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6122 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6123 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6124 with all the associated security issues.
6125
6126 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6127 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6128 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6129 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6130 use the value in the default purpose.
6131 [Steve Henson]
6132
6133 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6134 and fix a memory leak.
6135 [Steve Henson]
6136
6137 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6138 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6139 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6140 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6141 [Bodo Moeller]
6142
6143 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6144 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6145 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6146 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6147 [Bodo Moeller]
6148
6149 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6150 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6151 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6152 [Bodo Moeller]
6153
6154 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6155 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6156 [Bodo Moeller]
6157
6158 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6159 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6160 which was free.
6161 [Steve Henson]
6162
6163 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6164 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6165 [Bodo Moeller]
6166
6167 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6168 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6169 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6170 [Bodo Moeller]
6171
6172 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6173 number generation fails.
6174 [Bodo Moeller]
6175
6176 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6177 [Bodo Moeller]
6178
6179 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6180 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6181
6182 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6183 [Ulf Möller]
6184
6185 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6186 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6187
6188 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6189 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6190
6191 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6192
6193 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6194 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6195 [Steve Henson]
6196
6197 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6198 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6199
6200 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6201 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6202 [Ulf Möller]
6203
6204 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6205 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6206 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6207 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6208 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6209 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6210
6211 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6212 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6213 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6214 for example.
6215 [Steve Henson]
6216
6217 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6218 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6219 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6220 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6221 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6222 counter, some don't.)
6223 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6224 counters or duplicate objects.
6225 [Steve Henson]
6226
6227 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6228 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6229 [Steve Henson]
6230
6231 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6232 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6233 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6234
6235 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6236 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6237 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6238 or -rand.
6239 [Ulf Möller]
6240
6241 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6242 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6243 [Steve Henson]
6244
6245 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6246 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6247 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6248 cipher list.
6249 [Steve Henson]
6250
6251 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6252 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6253 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6254 [Steve Henson]
6255
6256 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6257 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6258 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6259 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6260 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6261 should work without changes.
6262 [Richard Levitte]
6263
6264 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6265 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6266 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6267 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6268 must be defined. E.g.,
6269 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6270 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6271 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6272 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6273
6274 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6275 record layer.
6276 [Bodo Moeller]
6277
6278 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6279 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6280 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6281 [Steve Henson]
6282
6283 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6284 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6285 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6286 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6287 [Steve Henson]
6288
6289 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6290 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6291 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6292 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6293 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6294 is prompted for as usual.
6295 [Steve Henson]
6296
6297 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6298 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6299 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6300 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6301
6302 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6303 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6304 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6305 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6306 [Steve Henson]
6307
6308 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6309 [Andy Polyakov]
6310
6311 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6312 of seed file.
6313 [Steve Henson]
6314
6315 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6316 [Bodo Moeller]
6317
6318 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6319 [Steve Henson]
6320
6321 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6322 bits.
6323 [Ulf Möller]
6324
6325 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6326 [Ulf Möller]
6327
6328 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6329 [Andy Polyakov]
6330
6331 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6332 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6333 [Ulf Möller]
6334
6335 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6336 options to produce them.
6337 [Steve Henson]
6338
6339 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6340 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6341 [Ulf Möller]
6342
6343 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6344 for p == 0.
6345 [Ulf Möller]
6346
6347 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6348 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6349 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6350 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6351 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6352 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6353 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6354 [Steve Henson]
6355
6356 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6357 [Steve Henson]
6358
6359 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6360 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6361 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6362 [Bodo Moeller]
6363
6364 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6365 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6366
6367 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6368 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6369 [Ulf Möller]
6370
6371 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6372 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6373 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6374 has already seen).
6375 [Bodo Moeller]
6376
6377 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6378 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6379
6380 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6381 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6382 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6383 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6384 generation becomes much faster.
6385
6386 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6387 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6388 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6389 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6390 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6391 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6392 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6393 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6394 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6395 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6396 [Bodo Moeller]
6397
6398 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6399 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6400 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6401 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6402 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6403 trial division stage.
6404 [Bodo Moeller]
6405
6406 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6407 as ASN1_TIME.
6408 [Steve Henson]
6409
6410 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6411 [Steve Henson]
6412
6413 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6414 [Ulf Möller]
6415
6416 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6417 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6418 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6419 the comments.
6420 [Ulf Möller]
6421
6422 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6423 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6424 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6425 [Bodo Moeller]
6426
6427 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6428 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6429 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6430 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6431
6432 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6433 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6434 [Steve Henson]
6435
6436 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6437 [Ulf Möller]
6438
6439 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6440 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6441 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6442 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6443 [Ulf Möller]
6444
6445 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6446 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6447 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6448 [Ulf Möller]
6449
6450 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6451 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6452 (instead of parameters) in future.
6453 [Steve Henson]
6454
6455 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6456 when a new cipher list is set.
6457 [Steve Henson]
6458
6459 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6460 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6461 wrong.
6462
6463 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6464 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6465 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6466
6467 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6468 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6469 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6470 an error is flagged.
6471
6472 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6473 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6474 the readability was also increased :-)
6475 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6476
6477 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6478 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6479 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6480 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6481 as the root CA.
6482 [Steve Henson]
6483
6484 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6485 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6486 [Steve Henson]
6487
6488 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6489 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6490 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6491 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6492 instead.
6493
6494 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6495 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6496 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6497 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6498 because they handle more complex structures.)
6499 [Steve Henson]
6500
6501 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6502 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6503 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6504 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6505
6506 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6507 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6508 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6509 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6510 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6511 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6512 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6513 [Ulf Möller]
6514
6515 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6516 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6517 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6518 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6519 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6520 [Bodo Moeller]
6521
6522 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6523 [Bodo Moeller]
6524
6525 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6526 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6527 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6528 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6529 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6530 to use this.
6531
6532 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6533 code.
6534 [Steve Henson]
6535
6536 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6537 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6538 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6539 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6540 [Steve Henson]
6541
6542 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6543 [Ulf Möller]
6544
6545 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6546 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6547 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6548 international characters are used.
6549
6550 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6551 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6552 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6553 in ASN1 order.
6554 [Steve Henson]
6555
6556 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6557 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6558 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6559 request.
6560
6561 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6562 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6563 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6564 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6565 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6566 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6567
6568 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6569 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6570 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6571 be handled by the string table functions.
6572
6573 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6574 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6575 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6576 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6577 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6578 types at all.
6579 [Steve Henson]
6580
6581 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6582 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6583 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6584 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6585 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6586
6587 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6588 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6589 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6590 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6591 [Bodo Moeller]
6592
6593 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6594 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6595 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6596 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6597 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6598 SHA1.
6599 [Andy Polyakov]
6600
6601 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6602 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6603 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6604 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6605 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6606 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6607 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6608 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6609
6610 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6611 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6612 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6613 [Steve Henson]
6614
6615 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6616 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6617 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6618 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6619 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6620 support to pkcs8 application.
6621 [Steve Henson]
6622
6623 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6624 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6625 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6626 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6627 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6628 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6629 [Bodo Moeller]
6630
6631 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6632 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6633 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6634 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6635 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6636 consistency.
6637 [Bodo Moeller]
6638
6639 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6640 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6641 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6642 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6643 example.
6644 [Steve Henson]
6645
6646 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6647 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6648 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6649 and any application specific purposes.
6650
6651 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6652 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6653 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6654 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6655 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6656 if the certificate is self signed.
6657 [Steve Henson]
6658
6659 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6660 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6661 [Steve Henson]
6662
6663 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6664 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6665 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6666 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6667 [Steve Henson]
6668
6669 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6670 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6671 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6672 Update documentation.
6673 [Steve Henson]
6674
6675 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6676 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6677 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6678 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6679 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6680 [Steve Henson]
6681
6682 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6683 for details.
6684 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6685
6686 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6687 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6688 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6689 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6690 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6691 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6692 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6693 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6694 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6695 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6696
6697 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6698
6699 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6700 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6701 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6702 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6703 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6704
6705 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6706 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6707 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6708 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6709 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6710 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6711 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6712 request additional information:
6713 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6714 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6715
6716 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6717 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6718 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6719 options.
6720
6721 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6722 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6723
6724 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6725 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6726 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6727
6728 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6729 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6730
6731 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6732 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6733 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6734 algorithm.
6735 [Steve Henson]
6736
6737 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6738 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6739 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6740
6741 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6742 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6743 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6744 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6745 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6746 included in OpenSSL.
6747 [Steve Henson]
6748
6749 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6750 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6751 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6752 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6753 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6754 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6755 [Bodo Moeller]
6756
6757 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6758 PKCS12 structure.
6759 [Steve Henson]
6760
6761 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6762 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6763 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6764 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6765 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6766 structure.
6767 [Steve Henson]
6768
6769 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6770 need initialising.
6771 [Steve Henson]
6772
6773 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6774 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6775 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6776 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6777 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6778 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6779 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6780 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6781 be maintained manually.
6782
6783 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6784 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6785 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6786 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6787 work because people forget to call this function]
6788 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6789 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6790 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6791 [Steve Henson]
6792
6793 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6794 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6795 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6796 should be discouraged from doing it.
6797 [Ben Laurie]
6798
6799 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6800 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6801 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6802 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6803 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6804 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6805 [Steve Henson]
6806
6807 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6808 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6809 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6810
6811 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6812 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6813 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6814
6815 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6816 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6817 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6818 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6819 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6820 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6821
6822 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6823 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6824 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6825
6826 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6827 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6828 and vice versa.
6829
6830 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6831 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6832 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6833 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6834 [Steve Henson]
6835
6836 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6837 [Steve Henson]
6838
6839 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6840 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6841 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6842 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6843 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6844 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6845 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6846 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6847 keys so we should be OK.
6848
6849 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6850 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6851 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6852 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6853 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6854 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6855 stay in the name of compatibility.
6856
6857 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6858 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6859 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6860
6861 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6862 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6863 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6864 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6865 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6866 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6867 supplied key).
6868 [Steve Henson]
6869
6870 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6871 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6872 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6873 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6874 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6875 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6876 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6877 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6878 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6879 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6880 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6881 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6882 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6883 [Steve Henson]
6884
6885 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6886 [Steve Henson]
6887
6888 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6889 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6890 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6891 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6892 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6893 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6894 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6895 openssl verify ss.pem
6896 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6897 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6898 is OK.
6899 [Steve Henson]
6900
6901 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6902 (and add it to external session representation).
6903 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6904 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6905 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6906 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6907 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6908 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6909 security holes.
6910 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6911
6912 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6913 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6914 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6915 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6916
6917 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6918 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6919 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6920 [Steve Henson]
6921
6922 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6923 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6924 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6925 code.
6926 [Steve Henson]
6927
6928 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6929 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6930 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6931
6932 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6933 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6934 certificate auxiliary information.
6935 [Steve Henson]
6936
6937 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6938 the 'enc' command.
6939 [Steve Henson]
6940
6941 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6942 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6943 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6944 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6945 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6946 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6947 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6948 [Richard Levitte]
6949
6950 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6951 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6952 [Steve Henson]
6953
6954 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6955 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6956 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6957 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6958 [Steve Henson]
6959
6960 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6961 [Steve Henson]
6962
6963 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6964 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6965 [Steve Henson]
6966
6967 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6968 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6969 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6970 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6971 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6972 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6973 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6974 using the new 'x509' options.
6975
6976 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6977 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6978 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6979 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6980 for all purposes.
6981 [Steve Henson]
6982
6983 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6984 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6985 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6986 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6987 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6988 [Mark Cox]
6989
6990 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6991 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6992 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6993 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6994 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6995 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6996 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6997 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6998 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6999 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7000 [Steve Henson]
7001
7002 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7003 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7004 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7005 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7006 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7007 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7008 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7009 [Steve Henson]
7010
7011 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7012 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7013 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7014 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7015 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7016 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7017 openssl.cnf for more info.
7018 [Steve Henson]
7019
7020 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7021 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7022 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7023 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7024 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7025 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7026 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7027 md should be large enough anyway.
7028 [Bodo Moeller]
7029
7030 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7031 for handling the random seed file.
7032
7033 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7034 ca,
7035 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7036 s_client,
7037 s_server,
7038 x509 (when signing).
7039 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7040 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7041 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7042
7043 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7044 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7045 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7046 that support '-rand'.
7047 [Bodo Moeller]
7048
7049 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7050 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7051 [Bodo Moeller]
7052
7053 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7054 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7055 [Bill Perry]
7056
7057 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7058 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7059 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7060 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7061 is suitable.
7062 [Steve Henson]
7063
7064 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7065 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7066 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7067 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7068 [Steve Henson]
7069
7070 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7071 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7072 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7073 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7074 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7075 print out all the purposes.
7076 [Steve Henson]
7077
7078 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7079 functions.
7080 [Steve Henson]
7081
7082 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7083 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7084 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7085 single function call.
7086 [Steve Henson]
7087
7088 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7089 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7090 [Andy Polyakov]
7091
7092 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7093 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7094 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7095 [Steve Henson]
7096
7097 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7098 when producing the local key id.
7099 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7100
7101 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7102 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7103 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7104 "server.pem".
7105 [Steve Henson]
7106
7107 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7108 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7109 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7110 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7111 [Steve Henson]
7112
7113 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7114 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7115 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7116 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7117
7118 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7119 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7120 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7121 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7122
7123 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7124 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7125 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7126 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7127 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7128 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7129 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7130 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7131 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7132 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7133 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7134 trivial: move one line.
7135 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7136
7137 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7138 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7139 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7140 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7141 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7142 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7143 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7144 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7145 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7146 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7147 with an event loop for example.
7148 [Steve Henson]
7149
7150 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7151 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7152 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7153 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7154 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7155 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7156 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7157 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7158 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7159 [Steve Henson]
7160
7161 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7162 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7163 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7164 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7165 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7166 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7167 [Steve Henson]
7168
7169 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7170 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7171 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7172 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7173
7174 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7175 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7176 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7177 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7178 key generation.
7179 [Steve Henson]
7180
7181 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7182 (still largely untested)
7183 [Bodo Moeller]
7184
7185 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7186 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7187 [Steve Henson]
7188
7189 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7190 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7191 [Steve Henson]
7192
7193 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7194 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7195 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7196 [Bodo Moeller]
7197
7198 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7199 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7200 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7201 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7202 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7203 [Steve Henson]
7204
7205 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7206 [Andy Polyakov]
7207
7208 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7209 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7210 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7211 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7212 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7213 in ca.
7214 [Steve Henson]
7215
7216 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7217 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7218 1.OU="Unit name 1"
7219 2.OU="Unit name 2"
7220 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7221 [Steve Henson]
7222
7223 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7224 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7225 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7226 are otherwise ignored at present.
7227 [Steve Henson]
7228
7229 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7230 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7231 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7232 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7233 copied until the next read.
7234 [Steve Henson]
7235
7236 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7237 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7238 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7239 [Steve Henson]
7240
7241 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7242 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7243 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7244 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7245 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7246 associated functions.
7247 [Steve Henson]
7248
7249 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7250 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7251 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7252 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7253 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7254 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7255 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7256 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7257 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7258 memory BIOs.
7259 [Steve Henson]
7260
7261 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7262 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7263 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7264 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7265 [Bodo Moeller]
7266
7267 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7268 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7269 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7270 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7271 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7272 functionality.
7273 [Steve Henson]
7274
7275 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7276 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7277 under Win32.
7278 [Steve Henson]
7279
7280 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7281 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7282 extensions to be obtained and added.
7283 [Steve Henson]
7284
7285 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7286 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7287 [Bodo Moeller]
7288
7289 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7290
7291 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7292 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7293
7294 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7295 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7296
7297 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7298 program.
7299 [Steve Henson]
7300
7301 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7302 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7303 DH parameters contain its length).
7304
7305 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7306 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7307 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7308 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7309 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7310 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7311 utter importance to use
7312 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7313 or
7314 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7315 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7316 attacks may become possible!
7317 [Bodo Moeller]
7318
7319 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7320 [Bodo Moeller]
7321
7322 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7323 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7324 [Steve Henson]
7325
7326 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7327 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7328 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7329 or long name.
7330 [Steve Henson]
7331
7332 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7333 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7334 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7335 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7336 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7337 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7338 private key operations.
7339 [Steve Henson]
7340
7341 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7342 [Andy Polyakov]
7343
7344 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7345 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7346 to
7347 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7348 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7349 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7350 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7351 the password callback is called.
7352 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7353
7354 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7355
7356 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7357 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7358 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7359 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7360 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7361 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7362 this will work.
7363
7364 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7365 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7366 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7367 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7368 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7369 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7370 [Bodo Moeller]
7371
7372 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7373 [Andy Polyakov]
7374
7375 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7376 delete an unused file.
7377 [Ulf Möller]
7378
7379 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7380 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7381 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7382 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7383 [Steve Henson]
7384
7385 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7386 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7387 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7388 of an error.
7389 [Bodo Moeller]
7390
7391 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7392 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7393 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7394
7395 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7396 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7397 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7398 comparison" warnings.
7399 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7400 [Steve Henson]
7401
7402 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7403 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7404 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7405 [Steve Henson]
7406
7407 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7408 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7409
7410 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7411 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7412
7413 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7414 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7415 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7416
7417 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7418 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7419 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7420 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7421 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7422 this bug.
7423 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7424
7425 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7426 The interface is as follows:
7427 Applications can use
7428 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7429 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7430 "off" is now the default.
7431 The library internally uses
7432 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7433 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7434 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7435
7436 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7437 even the default) are now avoided.
7438
7439 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7440 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7441 than just having a counter.
7442
7443 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7444
7445 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7446 extensions.
7447 [Bodo Moeller]
7448
7449 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7450 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7451 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7452 Initial "mode" flags are:
7453
7454 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7455 a single record has been written.
7456 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7457 retries use the same buffer location.
7458 (But all of the contents must be
7459 copied!)
7460 [Bodo Moeller]
7461
7462 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7463 worked.
7464
7465 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7466 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7467
7468 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7469 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7470 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7471 [Steve Henson]
7472
7473 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7474 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7475 test programs.
7476 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7477
7478 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7479 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7480 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7481 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7482 point to the end.
7483 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7484 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7485
7486 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7487 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7488 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7489 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7490 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7491 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7492 [Steve Henson]
7493
7494 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7495 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7496 necessary function names.
7497 [Steve Henson]
7498
7499 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7500 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7501 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7502 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7503 [Bodo Moeller]
7504
7505 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7506 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7507 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7508 [Steve Henson]
7509
7510 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7511 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7512 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7513 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7514 such programs?)
7515 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7516 need locks.
7517 [Bodo Moeller]
7518
7519 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7520 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7521 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7522 [Bodo Moeller]
7523
7524 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7525 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7526 appropriate.
7527 [Bodo Moeller]
7528
7529 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7530 for the encoded length.
7531 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7532
7533 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7534 [Steve Henson]
7535
7536 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7537 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7538 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7539 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7540 [Steve Henson]
7541
7542 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7543 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7544 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7545
7546 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7547 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7548 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7549 unusual formatting.
7550 [Steve Henson]
7551
7552 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7553 to use the new extension code.
7554 [Steve Henson]
7555
7556 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7557 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7558 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7559 constant.
7560 [Steve Henson]
7561
7562 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7563 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7564 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7565 [Bodo Moeller]
7566
7567 #if 0
7568 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7569 [Ben Laurie]
7570 #else
7571 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7572 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7573 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7574 #endif
7575
7576 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7577 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7578 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7579 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7580 [Ben Laurie]
7581
7582 *) DES library cleanups.
7583 [Ulf Möller]
7584
7585 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7586 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7587 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7588 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7589 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7590 of v2.0.
7591 [Steve Henson]
7592
7593 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7594 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7595 [Bodo Moeller]
7596
7597 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7598 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7599 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7600 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7601 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7602 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7603 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7604 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7605 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7606 [Steve Henson]
7607
7608 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7609 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7610 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7611 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7612 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7613 value doesn't matter.
7614 [Steve Henson]
7615
7616 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7617 support mutable.
7618 [Ben Laurie]
7619
7620 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7621 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7622 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7623 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7624
7625 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7626 [Ulf Möller]
7627
7628 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7629 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7630 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7631
7632 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7633 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7634
7635 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7636 [Ben Laurie]
7637
7638 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7639 [Ben Laurie]
7640
7641 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7642 [Ben Laurie]
7643
7644 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7645 [Bodo Moeller]
7646
7647
7648 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7649
7650 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7651
7652 *) Updated some demos.
7653 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7654
7655 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7656 [Wu Zhigang]
7657
7658 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7659 [Steve Henson]
7660
7661 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7662 [Steve Henson]
7663
7664 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7665 instead of using a fixed path.
7666 [Bodo Moeller]
7667
7668 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7669 [Andy Polyakov]
7670
7671 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7672 [Richard Levitte]
7673
7674
7675 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7676
7677 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7678 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7679 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7680
7681 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7682 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7683 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7684 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7685 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7686 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7687 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7688 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7689 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7690 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7691 [Steve Henson]
7692
7693 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7694 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7695 [Steve Henson]
7696
7697 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7698 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7699 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7700 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7701 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7702
7703 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7704 [Bodo Moeller]
7705
7706 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7707 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7708 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7709 [Steve Henson]
7710
7711 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7712 [Ben Laurie]
7713
7714 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7715 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7716 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7717 key elements as negative integers.
7718 [Steve Henson]
7719
7720 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7721 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7722
7723 *) VMS support.
7724 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7725
7726 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7727 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7728 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7729 [Steve Henson]
7730
7731 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7732 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7733 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7734 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7735 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7736 [Bodo Moeller]
7737
7738 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7739 [Ulf Möller]
7740
7741 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7742 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7743 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7744 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7745
7746 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7747 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7748 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7749
7750 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7751 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7752 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7753 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7754 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7755 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7756 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7757 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7758 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7759
7760 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7761 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7762 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7763 does not influence s as it used to.
7764
7765 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7766 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7767 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7768 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7769 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7770 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7771 [Bodo Moeller]
7772
7773 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7774 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7775 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7776 key type.
7777 [Steve Henson]
7778
7779 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7780 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7781 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7782 and 'x509').
7783 [Steve Henson]
7784
7785 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7786 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7787 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7788 extension option.
7789 [Steve Henson]
7790
7791 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7792 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7793 [Ben Laurie]
7794
7795 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7796 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7797
7798 *) Support Mingw32.
7799 [Ulf Möller]
7800
7801 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7802 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7803
7804 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7805 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7806
7807 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7808 [Ulf Möller]
7809
7810 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7811 [Anonymous]
7812
7813 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7814 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7815
7816 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7817 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7818 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7819 DER-encoded.)
7820 [Bodo Moeller]
7821
7822 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7823 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7824 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7825 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7826 now it really counts the depth.
7827 [Bodo Moeller]
7828
7829 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7830 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7831 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7832 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7833 didn't match the private key).
7834
7835 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7836 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7837 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7838 [Bodo Moeller]
7839
7840 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7841 [Ulf Möller]
7842
7843 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7844 David Harris.
7845 [Bodo Moeller]
7846
7847 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7848 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7849 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7850 [Bodo Moeller]
7851
7852 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7853 [Bodo Moeller]
7854
7855 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7856 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7857 such as /usr/local/bin.
7858 [Bodo Moeller]
7859
7860 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7861 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7862
7863 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7864 [Ulf Möller]
7865
7866 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7867 extension adding in x509 utility.
7868 [Steve Henson]
7869
7870 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7871 [Ulf Möller]
7872
7873 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7874 prototypes.
7875 [Steve Henson]
7876
7877 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7878 [Ulf Möller]
7879
7880 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7881 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7882 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7883 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7884 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7885 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7886 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7887 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7888 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7889 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7890 [Steve Henson]
7891
7892 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7893 [Bodo Moeller]
7894
7895 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7896 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7897 [Bodo Moeller]
7898
7899 *) Fix some race conditions.
7900 [Bodo Moeller]
7901
7902 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7903 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7904 [Steve Henson]
7905
7906 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7907 [Ulf Möller]
7908
7909 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7910 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7911 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7912 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7913
7914 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7915 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7916
7917 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7918 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7919 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7920
7921 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7922 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7923
7924 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7925 [Ulf Möller]
7926
7927 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7928 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7929
7930 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7931 [Ulf Möller]
7932
7933 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7934 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7935
7936 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7937 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7938 [Steve Henson]
7939
7940 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7941 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7942 [Ben Laurie]
7943
7944 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7945 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7946 [Steve Henson]
7947
7948 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7949 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7950 [Steve Henson]
7951
7952 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7953 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7954 [Steve Henson]
7955
7956 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7957 support typesafe stack.
7958 [Steve Henson]
7959
7960 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7961 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7962
7963 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7964 old X509V3 handling code.
7965 [Steve Henson]
7966
7967 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7968 [Ulf Möller]
7969
7970 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7971 [Bodo Moeller]
7972
7973 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7974 [Ben Laurie]
7975
7976 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7977 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7978
7979 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7980 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7981 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7982 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7983 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7984 [Ben Laurie]
7985
7986 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7987 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7988 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7989 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7990 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7991
7992 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7993 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7994 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7995 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7996
7997 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7998 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7999 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8000 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8001
8002 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8003 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8004 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8005 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8006 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8007 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8008 [Bodo Moeller]
8009
8010 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8011 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8012 [Bodo Moeller]
8013
8014 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8015 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8016 [Ulf Möller]
8017
8018 *) Tweaks to Configure
8019 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8020
8021 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8022 yet...
8023 [Steve Henson]
8024
8025 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8026 [Ulf Möller]
8027
8028 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8029 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8030 [Ulf Möller]
8031
8032 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8033 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8034 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8035 [Bodo Moeller]
8036
8037 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8038 [Bodo Moeller]
8039
8040 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8041 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8042 [Steve Henson]
8043
8044 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8045 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8046 to library startup routines.
8047 [Steve Henson]
8048
8049 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8050 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8051 codes along the way.
8052 [Steve Henson]
8053
8054 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8055 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8056 objects to objects.h
8057 [Steve Henson]
8058
8059 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8060 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8061 [Steve Henson]
8062
8063 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8064 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8065
8066 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8067 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8068 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8069
8070 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8071 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8072 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8073
8074 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8075 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8076 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8077
8078
8079 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8080
8081 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8082 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8083 [Ben Laurie]
8084
8085 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8086 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8087 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8088 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8089 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8090
8091 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8092 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8093 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8094 document.
8095 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8096
8097 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8098 Malloc, Free.
8099 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8100
8101 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8102 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8103
8104 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8105 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8106 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8107 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8108
8109 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8110 [Ben Laurie]
8111
8112 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8113 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8114 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8115 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8116 [Steve Henson]
8117
8118 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8119 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8120 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8121 [Steve Henson]
8122
8123 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8124 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8125 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8126 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8127 installed as `perl').
8128 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8129
8130 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8131 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8132
8133 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8134 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8135 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8136 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8137 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8138 [Steve Henson]
8139
8140 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8141 [Ben Laurie]
8142
8143 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8144 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8145 is horrible: I feel ill....
8146 [Steve Henson]
8147
8148 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8149 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8150 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8151 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8152 [Steve Henson]
8153
8154 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8155 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8156
8157 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8158 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8159 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8160 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8161
8162 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8163 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8164 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8165 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8166 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8167 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8168 openssl_bio.xs.
8169 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8170
8171 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8172 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8173
8174 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8175 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8176
8177 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8178 [Ben Laurie]
8179
8180 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8181 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8182 in CRLs.
8183 [Steve Henson]
8184
8185 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8186 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8187 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8188 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8189 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8190 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8191 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8192 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8193 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8194 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8195 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8196
8197 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8198 [Ben Laurie]
8199
8200 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8201 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8202 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8203 for linking it into DSOs.
8204 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8205
8206 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8207 Fixed.
8208 [Ben Laurie]
8209
8210 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8211 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8212 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8213 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8214 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8215 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8216
8217 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8218 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8219 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8220 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8221 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8222 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8223 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8224
8225 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8226 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8227 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8228 encryption.
8229 [Ben Laurie]
8230
8231 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8232 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8233 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8234 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8235 [Steve Henson]
8236
8237 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8238 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8239 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8240 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8241 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8242 field as blank.
8243 [Steve Henson]
8244
8245 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8246 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8247 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8248 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8249 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8250
8251 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8252 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8253 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8254
8255 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8256 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8257
8258 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8259 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8260 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8261 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8262 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8263 [Steve Henson]
8264
8265 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8266 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8267 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8268 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8269 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8270 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8271 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8272 [Ben Laurie]
8273
8274 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8275 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
8276 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8277 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8278 [Ben Laurie]
8279
8280 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8281 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8282
8283 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8284 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8285 [Steve Henson]
8286
8287 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8288 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8289 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8290 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8291 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8292 (e.g. s_server).
8293 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8294 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8295 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8296 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8297 no way to reconfigure them.
8298 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8299 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8300 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8301 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8302 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8303 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8304
8305 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8306 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8307 recognized by the users.
8308 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8309
8310 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8311 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8312 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8313 already masked variable.
8314 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8315
8316 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8317 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8318
8319 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8320 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8321 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8322 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8323
8324 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8325 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8326 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8327
8328 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8329 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8330 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8331 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8332 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8333 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8334 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8335 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8336 now, too.
8337 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8338
8339 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8340 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8341 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8342
8343 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8344 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8345 config file.
8346 [Steve Henson]
8347
8348 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8349 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8350
8351 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8352 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8353 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8354 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8355 [Ben Laurie]
8356
8357 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8358 [Steve Henson]
8359
8360 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8361 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8362
8363 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8364 [Ben Laurie]
8365
8366 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8367 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8368 [Steve Henson]
8369
8370 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8371 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8372 [Steve Henson]
8373
8374 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8375 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8376 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8377 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8378 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8379 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8380 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8381 Ben Laurie]
8382
8383 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8384 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8385
8386 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8387 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8388 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8389 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8390 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8391
8392 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8393 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8394 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8395 [Steve Henson]
8396
8397 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8398 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8399 an example.
8400 [Steve Henson]
8401
8402 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8403 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8404 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8405
8406 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8407 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8408 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8409 build instructions.
8410 [Steve Henson]
8411
8412 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8413 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8414 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8415 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8416 [Steve Henson]
8417
8418 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8419 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8420 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8421 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8422 [Ben Laurie]
8423
8424 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8425 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8426 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8427 so it wasn't spotted.
8428 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8429
8430 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8431 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8432 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8433 vectors if you have them.
8434 [Ben Laurie]
8435
8436 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8437 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8438 [Ben Laurie]
8439
8440 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8441 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8442 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8443 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8444 If you do a:
8445 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8446 it will update them.
8447 [Steve Henson]
8448
8449 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8450 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8451 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8452 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8453 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8454 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8455 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8456 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8457
8458 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8459 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8460 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8461 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8462 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8463 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8464 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8465 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8466 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8467 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8468
8469 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8470 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8471 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8472 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8473 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8474 [Steve Henson]
8475
8476 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8477 INTEGER code.
8478 [Steve Henson]
8479
8480 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8481 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8482
8483 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8484 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8485
8486 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8487 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8488 [Ben Laurie]
8489
8490 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8491 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8492
8493 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8494 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8495
8496 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8497 [Steve Henson]
8498
8499 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8500 few typos.
8501 [Steve Henson]
8502
8503 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8504 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8505 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8506 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8507
8508 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8509 [Steve Henson]
8510
8511 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8512 [Steve Henson]
8513
8514 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8515 [Steve Henson]
8516
8517 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8518 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8519 [Steve Henson]
8520
8521 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8522 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8523 CA extensions.
8524 [Steve Henson]
8525
8526 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8527 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8528 [Steve Henson]
8529
8530 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8531 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8532 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8533 [Steve Henson]
8534
8535 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8536 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8537 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8538 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8539 properly to be processed.
8540 [Steve Henson]
8541
8542 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8543 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8544 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8545 [Ben Laurie]
8546
8547 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8548 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8549
8550 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8551 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8552 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8553 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8554 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8555 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8556 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8557 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8558 or delete all the .err files.
8559 [Steve Henson]
8560
8561 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8562 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8563 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8564 to regenerate it if needed.
8565 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8566 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8567
8568 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8569 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8570
8571 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8572 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8573 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8574 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8575 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8576 [Steve Henson]
8577
8578 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8579 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8580
8581 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8582 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8583
8584 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8585 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8586 error, but didn't set one).
8587 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8588
8589 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8590 [Ben Laurie]
8591
8592 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8593 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8594 [Steve Henson]
8595
8596 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8597 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8598
8599 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8600 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8601 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8602 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8603 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8604 OID is not part of the table.
8605 [Steve Henson]
8606
8607 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8608 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8609 [Ben Laurie]
8610
8611 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8612 [Ben Laurie]
8613
8614 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8615 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8616 was "1234").
8617 [Steve Henson]
8618
8619 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8620 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8621
8622 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8623 NULL pointers.
8624 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8625
8626 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8627 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8628
8629 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8630 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8631
8632 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8633 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8634
8635 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8636 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8637 [Ben Laurie]
8638
8639 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8640 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8641 [Steve Henson]
8642
8643 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8644 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8645
8646 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8647 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8648
8649 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8650 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8651
8652 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8653 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8654
8655 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8656 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8657 unused in the certificate verification process.
8658 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8659
8660 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8661 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8662 [Steve Henson]
8663
8664 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8665 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8666 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8667
8668 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8669 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8670 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8671 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8672 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8673
8674 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8675 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8676 [Steve Henson]
8677
8678 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8679 [Steve Henson]
8680
8681 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8682 [Paul Sutton]
8683
8684 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8685 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8686
8687 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8688 [Ben Laurie]
8689
8690 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8691 [Ben Laurie]
8692
8693 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8694 [Ben Laurie]
8695
8696 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8697 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8698 other error libraries.
8699 [Steve Henson]
8700
8701 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8702 [Steve Henson]
8703
8704 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8705 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8706 be read in.
8707 [Steve Henson]
8708
8709 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8710 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8711 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8712 the new set of documenation files.
8713 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8714
8715 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8716 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8717 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8718 number of arguments.
8719 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8720
8721 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8722 [Ben Laurie]
8723
8724 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8725 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8726 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8727
8728 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8729 [Ben Laurie]
8730
8731 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8732 nextstep
8733 ncr-scde
8734 unixware-2.0
8735 unixware-2.0-pentium
8736 sco5-cc.
8737 [Ben Laurie]
8738
8739 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8740 before they are needed.
8741 [Ben Laurie]
8742
8743 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8744 [Ben Laurie]
8745
8746
8747 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8748
8749 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8750 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8751 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8752
8753 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8754 [Paul Sutton]
8755
8756 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8757 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8758 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8759
8760 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8761 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8762 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8763
8764 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8765 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8766 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8767
8768 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8769 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8770
8771 *) Updated the README file.
8772 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8773
8774 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8775 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8776 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8777
8778 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8779 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8780 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8781
8782 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8783 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8784 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8785 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8786 o removed obsolete TODO file
8787 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8788 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8789
8790 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8791 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8792 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8793 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8794 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8795 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8796 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8797
8798 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8799 [Mark J. Cox]
8800
8801 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8802 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8803 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8804 summer 1998.
8805 [The OpenSSL Project]
8806
8807
8808 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]

8818 [Eric A. Young]
8819
8820 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8821 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8822 available).
8823 [Eric A. Young]
8824
8825 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8826 binary structures
8827 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8828
8829 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8830 [Eric A. Young]
8831
8832 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.

8836 [Eric A. Young]
8837
8838 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8839 [Eric A. Young]
8840
8841 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8842 [Eric A. Young]
8843
8844 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8845 [Eric A. Young]
8846
8847 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8848 [Eric A. Young]
8849

8879
8880 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8881 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8882 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8883 [Eric A. Young]
8884
8885 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8886 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8887 [Eric A. Young]
8888
8889 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8890 [Eric A. Young]
8891
8892 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8893 [Eric A. Young]
