5 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
8 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
10 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
11 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
12 [Adam Langley (Google)]
14 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
17 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
18 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
20 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
22 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
24 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
26 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
27 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
29 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
30 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
34 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
36 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
37 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
38 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
41 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
42 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
43 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
46 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
48 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
49 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
50 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
53 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
56 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
57 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
58 some broken encodings work correctly.
61 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
62 is also one of the inputs.
63 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
65 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
66 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
67 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
71 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
73 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
76 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
77 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
78 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
80 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
81 common in certificates and some applications which only call
82 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
86 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
87 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
88 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
89 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
91 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
93 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
94 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
95 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
96 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
97 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
98 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
99 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
100 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
102 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
103 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
104 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
106 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
108 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
109 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
111 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
112 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
115 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
116 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
117 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
120 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
121 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
122 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
123 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
124 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
125 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
128 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
129 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
130 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
133 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
134 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
135 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
136 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
137 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
138 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
142 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
143 change when encrypting or decrypting.
146 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
147 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
148 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
151 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
154 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
155 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
156 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
157 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
158 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
159 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
160 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
161 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
162 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
165 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
166 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
167 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
170 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
171 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
174 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
175 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
176 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
177 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
178 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
179 know what you are doing.
180 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
182 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
183 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
184 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
185 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
186 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
187 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
191 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
192 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
193 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
195 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
197 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
198 warnings in other configurations.
201 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
202 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
203 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
205 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
207 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
208 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
209 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
211 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
212 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
213 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
214 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
217 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
221 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
222 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
224 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
226 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
227 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
228 other than a simple chain.
229 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
231 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
232 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
233 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
234 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
237 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
238 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
239 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
240 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
241 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
242 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
243 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
244 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
245 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
247 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
248 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
249 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
250 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
251 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
252 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
254 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
256 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
257 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
260 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
261 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
264 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
266 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
268 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
269 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
270 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
271 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
272 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
276 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
278 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
279 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
280 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
281 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
283 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
284 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
285 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
286 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
288 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
289 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
290 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
293 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
294 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
298 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
299 to handle some structures.
302 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
304 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
306 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
309 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
312 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
315 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
316 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
320 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
322 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
324 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
326 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
329 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
330 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
331 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
332 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
334 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
335 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
337 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
338 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
341 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
342 s_client and s_server.
345 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
346 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
348 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
349 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
351 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
352 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
353 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
354 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
355 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
358 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
360 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
361 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
364 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
365 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
368 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
369 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
370 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
371 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
373 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
374 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
376 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
378 *) Various precautionary measures:
380 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
382 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
383 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
384 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
386 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
387 outside the expected range.
389 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
392 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
394 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
395 the load fails. Useful for distros.
396 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
398 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
401 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
404 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
406 This work was sponsored by Logica.
409 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
410 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
411 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
413 This work was sponsored by Logica.
416 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
417 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
418 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
422 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
424 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
425 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
426 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
427 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
429 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
430 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
433 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
435 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
436 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
437 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
439 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
441 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
442 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
443 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
444 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
447 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
448 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
449 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
450 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
451 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
452 invalid read after the end of 'db').
453 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
455 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
457 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
458 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
459 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
460 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
461 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
463 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
464 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
466 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
467 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
468 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
469 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
470 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
472 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
474 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
475 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
476 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
477 sets may exist with different names.
480 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
481 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
482 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
483 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
484 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
485 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
486 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
487 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
488 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
490 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
492 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
493 implemention in the following ways:
495 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
498 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
499 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
500 ignored for embedded content.
502 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
503 with the enable-cms configuration option.
506 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
507 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
508 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
509 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
511 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
512 uncompresses any data passed through it.
515 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
516 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
519 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
520 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
521 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
522 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
523 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
524 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
528 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
529 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
530 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
534 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
535 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
536 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
537 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
538 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
539 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
540 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
541 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
543 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
544 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
545 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
546 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
547 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
548 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
549 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
551 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
552 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
553 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
554 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
555 to s_client and s_server.
558 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
561 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
562 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
563 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
564 + Fix ia64 assembler code
565 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
567 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
569 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
570 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
571 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
572 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
573 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
574 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
575 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
576 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
579 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
580 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
581 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
584 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
585 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
586 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
589 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
590 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
593 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
594 protection in servers so again support should be possible
595 with no application modification.
597 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
598 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
600 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
601 or server extensions to be examined.
603 This work was sponsored by Google.
606 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
607 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
608 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
609 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
610 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
611 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
612 server_name extension.
614 New functions (subject to change):
617 SSL_get_servername_type()
620 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
622 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
623 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
624 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
625 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
626 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
628 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
630 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
631 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
632 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
633 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
634 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
635 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
638 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
640 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
643 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
646 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
647 (which previously caused an internal error).
650 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
653 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
654 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
656 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
657 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
658 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
660 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
661 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
662 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
663 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
665 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
666 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
667 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
670 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
671 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
672 information. For detailed background information, see
673 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
674 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
675 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
676 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
677 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
678 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
679 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
680 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
681 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
682 remove a conditional branch.
684 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
685 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
686 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
687 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
688 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
689 remains as a deprecated alias.
691 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
692 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
693 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
694 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
696 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
697 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
698 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
699 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
700 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
701 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
702 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
703 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
705 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
707 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
708 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
709 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
710 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
711 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
712 with applications using a single external cache for quite
713 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
714 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
715 in a different context.
718 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
719 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
720 authentication-only ciphersuites.
723 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
724 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
725 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
727 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
729 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
730 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
731 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
732 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
733 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
736 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
737 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
738 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
739 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
740 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
741 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
744 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
745 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
746 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
747 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
748 message has informed the client about his choice.)
751 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
752 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
754 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
755 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
756 Improve header file function name parsing.
759 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
760 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
763 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
765 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
766 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
767 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
769 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
770 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
772 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
773 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
775 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
776 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
777 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
779 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
780 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
781 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
782 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
783 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
784 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
785 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
786 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
787 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
789 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
790 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
791 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
792 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
793 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
795 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
796 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
797 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
798 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
799 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
800 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
801 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
802 multiple values to extend the available space.
806 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
808 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
809 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
811 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
814 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
815 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
816 undesirable limitations.
817 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
819 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
820 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
821 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
822 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
823 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
824 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
825 to avoid potential handshake problems.
828 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
830 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
831 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
832 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
834 The latter two were purportedly from
835 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
838 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
839 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
840 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
843 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
844 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
847 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
848 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
849 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
850 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
852 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
853 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
854 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
857 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
858 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
859 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
860 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
861 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
862 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
865 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
867 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
868 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
871 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
872 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
874 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
875 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
876 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
877 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
880 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
881 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
884 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
885 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
886 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
887 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
888 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
889 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
890 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
894 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
895 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
896 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
897 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
900 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
901 under VC++ build system.
904 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
905 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
908 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
910 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
911 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
912 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
913 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
914 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
916 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
917 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
918 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
920 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
923 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
924 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
927 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
928 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
930 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
933 *) Extended Windows CE support.
934 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
936 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
937 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
940 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
941 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
945 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
947 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
950 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
953 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
954 key into the same file any more.
957 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
960 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
961 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
963 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
964 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
967 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
968 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
969 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
970 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
971 this only applies when building 'shared'.
972 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
974 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
975 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
976 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
979 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
980 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
981 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
982 - add new function for parameter creation
983 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
984 BN_BLINDING parameters
985 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
986 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
987 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
991 *) Add support for DTLS.
992 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
994 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
995 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
998 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
999 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1002 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1003 the apps/openssl applications.
1006 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1007 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1008 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1011 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1012 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1014 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1015 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1017 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1018 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1019 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1020 avoid this algorithm.)
1024 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1025 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1026 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1029 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1030 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1033 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1034 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1035 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1038 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1040 The blank line is mandatory.
1044 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1045 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1049 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1050 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1052 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1053 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1054 to support policy checking and print out.
1057 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1058 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1059 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1060 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1062 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1065 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1066 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1068 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1069 implementation contributed by IBM.
1070 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1072 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1073 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1074 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1075 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1077 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1078 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1080 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1081 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1082 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1083 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1084 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1085 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1088 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1089 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1090 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1091 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1092 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1093 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1094 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1097 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1100 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1101 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1102 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1103 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1104 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1105 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1106 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1107 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1110 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1111 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1112 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1113 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1116 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1119 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1122 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1123 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1124 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1125 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1126 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1127 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1128 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1131 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1132 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1135 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1136 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1137 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1140 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1141 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1142 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1146 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1147 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1150 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1151 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1152 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1153 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1156 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1157 initialised value as BN_new().
1158 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1160 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1163 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1164 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1165 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1166 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1167 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1168 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1169 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1170 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1171 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1172 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1173 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1174 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1175 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1176 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1177 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1179 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1180 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1181 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1182 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1185 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1186 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1187 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1188 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1189 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1190 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1191 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1192 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1193 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1196 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1197 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1198 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1199 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1200 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1201 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1202 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1205 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1206 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1207 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1208 these have been updated also.
1211 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1212 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1213 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1214 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1215 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1219 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1220 structure of type "other".
1223 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1224 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1225 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1226 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1227 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1228 situation in the script.
1229 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1231 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1232 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1233 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1234 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1235 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1236 used as premaster secret.
1237 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1239 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1240 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1241 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1243 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1244 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1246 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1247 control of the error stack.
1250 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1253 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1254 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1255 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1256 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1259 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1260 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1261 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1264 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1265 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1266 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1270 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1271 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1272 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1273 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1276 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1277 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1278 the following flags are defined:
1280 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1281 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1282 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1285 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1286 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1287 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1288 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1292 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1293 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1294 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1295 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1296 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1299 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1300 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1301 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1304 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1305 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1306 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1307 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1308 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1309 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1312 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1316 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1319 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1322 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1325 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1326 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1327 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1328 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1329 default implementation more easily.
1332 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1336 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1337 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1340 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1341 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1342 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1343 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1345 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1346 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1347 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1348 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1351 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1352 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1356 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1357 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1358 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1359 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1360 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1361 scalar * generator).
1362 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1364 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1365 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1366 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1370 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1371 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1372 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1373 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1374 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1375 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1376 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1377 linker additions, eg;
1378 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1381 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1382 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1383 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1386 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1387 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1388 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1392 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1393 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1394 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1395 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1398 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1399 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1400 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1401 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1402 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1403 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1404 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1405 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1406 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1407 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1409 Example for using the new callback interface:
1411 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1415 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1417 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1418 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1419 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1420 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1421 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1422 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1427 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1428 available to TLS with the number defined in
1429 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1432 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1433 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1435 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1436 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1437 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1438 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1440 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1441 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1443 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1444 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1448 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1449 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1452 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1453 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1454 and a macro that behave like
1455 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1457 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1460 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1461 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1462 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1464 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1466 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1469 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1470 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1471 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1472 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1474 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1475 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1476 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1477 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1478 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1479 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1480 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1481 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1483 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1484 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1487 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1488 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1490 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1491 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1492 files while avoiding the low level API.
1494 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1495 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1496 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1497 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1499 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1500 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1501 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1502 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1503 instead of the low level API.
1506 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1507 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1508 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1509 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1510 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1513 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1514 down to the template encoder.
1517 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1518 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1521 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1522 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1523 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1524 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1526 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1527 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1529 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1530 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1532 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1533 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1536 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1537 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1538 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1541 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1542 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1544 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1545 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1547 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1548 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1551 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1555 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1556 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1557 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1558 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1559 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1560 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1562 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1563 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1566 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1567 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1568 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1569 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1570 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1571 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1572 various internal method names.)
1574 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1575 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1577 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1578 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1580 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1581 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1583 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1584 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1585 methods are undefined.
1587 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1588 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1590 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1591 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1592 length of the modulus.
1594 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1595 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1597 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1598 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1600 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1601 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1603 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1604 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1605 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1608 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1609 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1610 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1611 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1613 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1614 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1615 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1616 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1618 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1619 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1621 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1622 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1623 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1624 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1625 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1627 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1628 This applies to the following functions:
1633 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1634 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1636 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1637 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1641 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1646 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1648 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1649 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1650 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1651 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1652 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1654 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1655 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1657 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1658 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1659 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1661 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1662 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1664 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1665 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1666 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1667 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1668 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1670 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1672 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1673 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1674 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1675 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1676 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1677 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1678 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1679 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1680 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1681 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1682 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1683 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1685 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1688 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1689 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1690 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1691 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1693 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1694 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1695 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1696 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1701 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1702 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1703 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1704 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1705 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1707 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1708 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1709 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1710 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1711 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1712 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1713 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1714 adding different types of curves.
1715 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1717 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1718 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1719 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1722 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1723 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1725 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1726 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1727 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1728 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1730 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1732 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1733 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1735 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1736 library. Most notably,
1737 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1738 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1739 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1740 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1741 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1742 extracted before the specific public key;
1743 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1744 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1746 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1747 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1749 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1750 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1751 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1752 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1754 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1755 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1756 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1758 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1759 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1760 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1761 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1762 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1763 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1767 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1769 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1771 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1773 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1774 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1775 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1778 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1779 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1780 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1783 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1786 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1787 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1790 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1791 run algorithm test programs.
1794 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1797 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1798 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1799 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1800 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1801 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1804 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1805 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1808 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1810 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1811 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1812 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1814 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1815 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1817 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1818 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1820 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1821 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1822 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1824 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1825 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1826 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1827 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1828 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1829 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1830 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1833 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1835 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1836 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1838 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1839 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1840 undesirable limitations.
1841 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1843 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1845 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1846 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1847 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1849 The latter two were purportedly from
1850 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1853 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1854 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1855 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1858 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1859 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1862 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1864 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1865 module in FIPS mode.
1868 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1871 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1872 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1873 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1874 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1877 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1879 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1880 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1881 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1882 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1883 the difference induced by this change.
1886 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1888 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1889 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1890 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1891 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1892 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1894 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1895 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1896 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1898 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1899 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1902 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1903 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1904 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1905 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1909 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1910 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1911 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1912 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1913 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1915 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1916 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1917 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1918 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1919 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1920 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1922 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1924 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1925 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1926 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1927 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1928 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1931 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1935 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1936 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1937 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1940 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1941 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1942 structures constant.
1945 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1947 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1950 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1951 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1952 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1953 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1954 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1955 some needed definitions.
1958 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1961 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1962 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1963 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1964 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1967 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1969 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1970 server and client random values. Previously
1971 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1972 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1974 This change has negligible security impact because:
1976 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1979 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1982 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1983 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1986 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1989 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1991 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1994 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1995 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1996 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1998 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2001 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2002 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2005 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2006 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2007 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2009 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2012 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2013 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2014 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2018 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2019 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2020 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2021 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2023 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2024 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2025 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2026 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2030 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2032 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2033 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2034 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2035 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2036 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2039 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2042 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2043 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2045 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2046 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2047 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2048 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2049 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2050 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2051 rather than being initialized to 1.
2054 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2056 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2057 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2058 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2060 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2062 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2064 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2065 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2066 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2067 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2068 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2069 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2072 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2073 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2074 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2075 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2076 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2080 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2081 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2082 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2083 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2084 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2087 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2088 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2089 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2093 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2094 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2096 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2099 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2101 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2103 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2104 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2106 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2108 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2109 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2113 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2114 exiting on the first error in a request.
2117 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2118 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2122 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2123 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2124 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2125 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2127 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2128 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2131 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2132 blocks during encryption.
2135 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2136 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2137 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2138 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2142 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2143 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2144 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2145 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2146 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2150 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2152 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2153 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2154 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2155 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2158 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2159 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2160 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2161 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2162 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2164 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2165 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2166 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2167 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2168 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2169 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2170 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2171 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2172 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2175 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2176 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2177 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2178 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2181 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2182 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2185 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2187 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2188 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2189 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2190 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2191 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2193 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2194 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2195 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2197 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2198 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2199 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2200 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2201 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2203 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2204 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2205 used by default when no-err is given.
2208 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2209 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2211 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2212 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2213 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2214 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2215 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2217 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2218 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2219 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2220 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2222 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2224 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2226 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2228 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2229 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2230 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2231 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2235 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2236 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2238 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2239 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2242 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2243 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2244 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2245 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2248 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2249 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2250 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2251 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2252 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2253 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2254 followup to PR #377.
2257 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2258 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2261 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2262 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2263 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2268 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2271 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED

2273 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2274 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between

2281 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2285 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2286 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2287 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2288 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2289 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2290 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2292 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2293 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2294 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2295 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2296 have to be made anyway).
2299 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2300 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2301 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2304 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2305 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2306 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2309 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2310 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2311 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

2314 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2315 edit numbers of the version.

2326 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.

2345 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2346 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).

2349 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2350 representations in a platform independent manner.

2398 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2399 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2401 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2403 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2404 the 0.9.6 release series:
2406 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2407 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2409 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2411 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2414 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2415 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2417 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2418 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2420 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2421 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2422 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2423 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2425 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2426 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2427 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2429 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2430 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2431 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2432 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2434 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2435 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2436 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2439 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2440 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2441 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2442 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2443 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2444 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2445 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2446 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2449 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2450 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2451 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2454 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2455 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2456 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2457 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2458 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2460 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2461 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2463 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2464 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2467 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2468 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2469 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2470 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2471 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2472 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2475 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2476 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2477 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2480 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2481 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2484 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2485 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2486 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2487 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2488 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2489 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2490 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2493 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2494 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2495 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2496 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2497 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2498 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2501 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2502 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2503 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2504 declaration has been changed from
2507 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2508 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2509 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2510 has been changed into
2511 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2513 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2514 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2515 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2517 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2518 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2520 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2521 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2522 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2523 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2524 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2525 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2526 always load it have also been added.
2529 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2530 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2531 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2533 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2535 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2536 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2537 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2539 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2540 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2541 command line option can be used to specify an
2545 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2546 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2549 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2550 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2551 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2554 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2555 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2556 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2557 to work with the new engine framework.
2558 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2560 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2561 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2562 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2563 to work with the new engine framework.
2566 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2567 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2568 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2570 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2571 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2573 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2574 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2575 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2576 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2578 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2580 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2581 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2583 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2584 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2586 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2587 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2588 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2591 *) Add new functions
2593 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2594 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2595 These are similar to
2598 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2599 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2600 still in the error queue.
2601 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2603 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2605 default_algorithms = ALL
2606 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2609 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2612 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2615 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2616 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2617 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2618 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2620 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2621 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2623 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2624 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2626 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2627 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2630 *) New functions/macros
2632 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2633 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2634 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2635 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2637 to request calling a callback function
2639 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2640 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2642 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2643 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2644 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2645 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2646 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2647 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2648 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2649 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2650 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2651 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2653 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2654 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2657 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2658 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2659 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2660 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2661 the configuration scripts.
2663 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2664 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2665 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2667 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2668 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2670 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2671 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2672 when reusing an existing buffer.
2675 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2676 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2679 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2680 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2683 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2684 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2685 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2686 has the same effect.
2687 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2689 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2690 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2691 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2692 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2693 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2694 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2697 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2698 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2699 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2700 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2702 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2703 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2704 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2705 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2707 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2708 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2711 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2712 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2713 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2714 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2715 default), and then completely removed.
2718 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2719 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2720 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2721 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2722 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2723 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2724 particular extension is supported.
2727 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2728 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2731 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2732 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2733 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2734 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2735 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2736 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2737 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2738 requires the destination to be valid.
2740 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2741 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2744 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2745 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2746 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2749 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2750 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2752 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2753 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2754 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2755 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2756 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2757 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2758 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2759 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2760 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2761 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2762 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2763 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2764 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2765 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2766 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2767 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2768 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2769 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2770 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2774 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2777 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2778 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2779 become part of libeay.num as well.
2782 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2783 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2784 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2785 false once a handshake has been completed.
2786 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2787 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2788 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2789 client has followed the request.)
2792 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2793 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2794 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2795 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2797 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2798 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2799 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2802 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2805 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2806 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2807 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2810 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2811 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2814 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2815 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2816 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2817 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2820 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2821 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2822 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2823 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2824 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2825 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2828 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2829 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2830 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2831 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2832 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2833 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2834 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2835 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2838 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2839 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2842 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2845 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2846 md_data void pointer.
2849 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2850 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2851 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2852 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2853 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2854 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2857 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2858 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2859 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2860 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2861 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2862 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2863 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2864 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2865 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2866 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2867 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2868 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2869 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2870 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2871 rather than letting it slide.
2873 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2874 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2875 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2878 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2879 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2880 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2881 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2882 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2883 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2884 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2885 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2886 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2889 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2890 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2891 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2892 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2893 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2895 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2898 *) Add EVP test program.
2901 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2904 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2905 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2906 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2907 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2908 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2911 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2912 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2913 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2914 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2915 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2916 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2917 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2919 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2920 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2921 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2926 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2927 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2928 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2929 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2930 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2934 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2935 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2936 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2937 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2940 des_key_schedule ks;
2942 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2943 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2945 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2948 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2949 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2950 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2951 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2952 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2953 functions prevents this.
2956 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2959 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2960 correct _ecb suffix.
2963 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2964 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2965 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2966 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2967 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2970 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2973 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2974 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2975 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2976 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2978 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2979 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2981 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2982 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2983 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2984 via Richard Levitte]
2986 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2987 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2988 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2989 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2992 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2995 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2996 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3010 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3011 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3013 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3014 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3015 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3016 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3017 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3018 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3021 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3022 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3025 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3026 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3027 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3028 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3030 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3031 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3032 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3033 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3034 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3035 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3039 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3040 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3041 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3042 and interrupts/cancellations.
3045 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3046 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3049 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3050 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3051 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3053 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3054 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3058 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3059 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3060 than this minimum value is recommended.
3063 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3064 that are easily reachable.
3067 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3068 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3070 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3072 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3073 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3074 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3075 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3078 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3079 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3080 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3083 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3084 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3085 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3086 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3087 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3088 internally such as S/MIME.
3090 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3091 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3092 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3094 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3098 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3099 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3100 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3101 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3103 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3105 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3107 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3108 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3109 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3113 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3114 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3115 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3116 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3117 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3118 a window system and the like.
3121 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3122 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3125 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3126 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3127 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3128 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3129 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3130 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3131 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3132 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3133 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3137 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3138 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3142 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3143 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3144 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3145 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3146 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3147 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3148 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3149 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3152 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3153 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3154 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3155 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3156 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3157 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3158 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3159 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3160 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3161 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3162 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3163 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3164 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3165 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3166 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3167 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3168 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3171 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3172 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3173 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3174 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3175 internal engine_int.h header.
3178 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3179 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3180 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3181 modify their own ones).
3184 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3185 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3186 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3187 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3188 later on via ctrl() commands.
3189 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3190 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3191 structural references.
3192 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3193 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3194 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3195 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3196 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3197 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3198 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3199 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3200 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3201 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3202 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3203 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3206 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3207 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3208 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3209 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3210 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3211 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3212 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3213 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3216 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3217 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3220 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3221 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3224 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3225 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3226 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3227 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3228 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3229 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3230 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3233 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3234 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3235 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3236 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3237 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3239 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3240 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3244 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3246 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3247 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3248 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3250 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3251 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3253 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3254 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3255 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3257 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3258 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3260 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3261 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3263 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3265 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3266 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3267 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3270 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3271 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3274 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3275 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3276 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3277 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3278 is 40 of more characters long.
3281 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3282 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3286 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3287 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3290 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3291 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3295 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3297 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3298 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3301 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3303 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3304 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3305 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3307 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3308 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3310 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3313 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3317 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3318 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3319 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3320 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3322 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3324 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3325 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3327 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3328 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3329 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3330 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3331 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3332 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3334 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3335 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3337 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3338 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3340 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3341 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3343 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3344 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3345 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3346 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3348 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3349 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3351 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3352 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3354 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3355 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3356 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3357 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3358 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3361 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3362 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3363 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3364 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3367 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3368 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3369 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3373 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3374 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3375 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3376 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3377 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3378 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3379 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3380 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3384 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3385 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3388 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3389 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3390 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3391 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3394 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3395 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3396 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3397 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3398 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3399 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3400 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3401 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3402 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3403 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3406 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3407 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3408 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3409 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3410 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3411 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3412 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3413 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3415 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3416 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3417 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3418 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3421 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3422 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3423 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3424 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3426 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3427 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3428 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3429 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3430 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3434 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3435 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3436 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3437 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3441 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3442 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3443 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3446 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3447 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3448 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3449 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3450 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3453 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3456 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3457 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3458 option to ocsp utility.
3461 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3462 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3463 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3464 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3465 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3466 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3467 the request is nonce-less.
3470 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3471 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3472 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3475 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3476 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3477 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3480 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3481 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3482 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3483 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3484 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3487 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3488 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3492 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3493 additional certificates supplied.
3496 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3497 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3501 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3502 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3505 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3506 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3507 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3508 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3509 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3510 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3511 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3512 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3513 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3515 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3516 request to response.
3519 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3520 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3521 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3522 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3523 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3524 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3525 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3526 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3527 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3528 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3529 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3532 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3533 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3534 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3535 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3538 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3539 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3541 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3542 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3543 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3546 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3547 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3548 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3549 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3550 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3552 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3553 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3554 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3557 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3558 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3559 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3560 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3561 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3562 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3563 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3564 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3566 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3567 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3568 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3569 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3570 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3571 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3574 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3575 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3576 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3577 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3578 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3579 printout format cleaned up.
3582 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3583 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3584 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3585 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3586 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3587 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3588 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3589 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3592 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3593 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3594 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3595 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3596 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3597 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3598 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3599 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3602 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3603 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3604 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3605 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3607 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3609 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3610 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3611 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3612 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3615 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3616 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3617 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3618 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3620 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3622 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3623 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3624 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3625 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3627 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3628 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3630 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3631 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3632 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3635 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3636 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3637 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3640 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3641 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3642 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3643 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3644 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3645 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3646 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3647 functions are provided:
3649 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3650 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3651 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3652 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3654 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3655 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3656 extended allocation function is enabled.
3657 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3658 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3659 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3661 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3662 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3663 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3664 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3665 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3668 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3669 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3670 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3672 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3673 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3674 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3677 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3678 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3679 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3680 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3681 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3682 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3683 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3684 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3685 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3688 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3689 provide utility functions which an application needing
3690 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3691 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3692 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3694 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3695 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3696 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3697 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3698 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3699 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3700 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3701 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3702 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3704 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3705 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3706 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3707 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3710 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3711 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3712 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3713 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3714 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3715 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3716 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3717 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3718 will be added elsewhere.
3721 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3722 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3723 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3724 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3727 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3728 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3729 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3730 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3731 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3732 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3733 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3734 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3735 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3736 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3737 to produce the required SET OF.
3740 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3741 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3742 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3745 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3746 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3747 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3748 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3749 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3750 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3753 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3754 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3755 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3758 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3759 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3760 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3763 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3764 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3765 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3766 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3767 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3770 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3771 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3774 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3775 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3776 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3777 certifcates and CRLs.
3780 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3781 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3782 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3785 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3786 entries for variables.
3789 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3790 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3791 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3792 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3795 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3796 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3797 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3798 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3799 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3800 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3803 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3804 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3806 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3807 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3808 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3811 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3815 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3816 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3817 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3818 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3819 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3820 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3823 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3826 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3827 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3828 for now but they will eventually go away.
3831 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3832 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3833 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3834 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3835 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3836 has also been converted to the new form.
3839 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3840 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3841 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3842 for negative moduli.
3845 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3846 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3849 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3853 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3854 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3855 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3856 type-specific callbacks.
3859 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3861 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3862 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3864 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3865 in sections depending on the subject.
3868 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3872 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3873 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3874 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3875 be handled deterministically).
3876 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3878 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3879 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3880 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3883 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3886 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3887 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3888 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3889 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3890 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3893 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3894 sign of the number in question.
3896 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3898 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3899 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3900 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3901 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3902 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3905 *) New function BN_swap.
3908 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3909 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3910 results on negative inputs.
3913 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3914 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3915 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3918 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3919 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3920 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3921 and add new functions:
3930 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3934 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3936 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3937 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3939 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3940 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3941 be reduced modulo m.
3942 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3945 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3946 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3947 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3949 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3950 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3951 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3952 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3953 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3954 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3959 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3960 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3961 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3962 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3963 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3965 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3966 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3967 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3971 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3974 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3975 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3978 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3979 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3980 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3981 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3985 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3988 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3991 *) Add the following functions:
3993 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3995 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3997 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3999 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4000 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4001 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4002 libraries unless it's really needed.
4004 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4005 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4006 declarations (they differed!).
4009 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4012 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4015 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4018 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4019 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4022 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4023 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4024 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4026 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4027 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4030 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4033 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4036 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4039 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4040 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4041 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4043 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4044 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4045 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4046 different shared library filenames on each system.
4049 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4052 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4053 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4054 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4056 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4059 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4060 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4061 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4062 binary backward compatibility.
4063 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4064 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4065 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4069 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4070 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4071 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4072 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4076 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4079 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4080 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4081 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4082 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4086 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4089 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4091 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4092 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4093 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4095 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4097 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4099 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4100 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4103 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4105 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4107 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4108 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4110 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4111 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4115 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4116 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4120 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4121 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4122 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4123 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4125 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4126 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4129 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4131 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4132 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4133 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4134 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4137 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4138 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4139 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4140 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4141 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4143 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4144 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4145 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4146 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4147 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4148 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4149 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4150 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4151 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4154 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4156 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4157 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4158 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4159 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4160 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4162 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4163 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4164 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4166 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4168 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4169 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4170 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4171 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4172 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4173 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4176 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4177 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4178 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4179 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4180 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4183 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4184 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4185 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4187 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4188 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4189 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4193 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4194 being properly terminated.
4197 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4198 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4199 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4200 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4202 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4203 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4204 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4205 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4206 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4207 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4208 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4210 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4212 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4213 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4216 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4217 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4218 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4219 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4220 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4221 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4222 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4223 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4225 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4226 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4227 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4228 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4229 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4231 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4232 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4235 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4237 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4238 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4239 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4241 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4243 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4244 and get fix the header length calculation.
4245 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4246 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4249 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4250 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4251 assertions could call abort()).
4252 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4254 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4256 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4257 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4258 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4260 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4262 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4263 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4264 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4267 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4271 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4272 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4273 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4275 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4276 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4277 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4278 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4279 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4283 *) Changes in security patch:
4285 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4286 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4287 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4290 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4291 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4292 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4293 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4294 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4296 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4298 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4300 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4301 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4302 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4304 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4305 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4306 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4308 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4309 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4310 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4312 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4314 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4315 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4316 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4318 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4319 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4321 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4322 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4323 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4324 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4325 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4326 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4329 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4330 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4331 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4332 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4335 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4338 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4339 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4340 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4341 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4342 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4343 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4345 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4346 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4347 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4348 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4349 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4352 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4353 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4354 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4355 BN_generate_prime().)
4357 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4358 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4359 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4363 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4364 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4367 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4368 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4369 when using non-blocking I/O.
4370 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4372 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4373 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4375 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4376 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4379 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4380 configuration for the versions before that.
4381 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4383 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4384 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4385 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4386 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4389 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4390 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4391 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4394 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4398 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4399 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4400 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4402 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4403 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4405 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4406 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4407 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4408 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4409 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4410 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4411 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4414 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4415 using a local variable.
4416 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4418 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4419 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4420 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4422 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4425 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4426 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4428 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4429 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4430 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4432 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4434 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4435 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4436 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4437 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4440 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4444 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4445 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4446 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4447 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4448 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4450 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4451 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4452 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4454 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4455 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4456 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4458 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4459 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4460 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4461 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4463 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4464 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4465 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4467 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4469 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4470 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4472 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4474 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4475 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4476 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4477 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4479 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4480 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4481 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4482 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4484 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4485 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4487 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4488 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4489 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4492 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4493 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4494 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4496 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4498 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4499 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4500 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4501 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4502 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4503 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4504 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4507 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4508 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4509 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4510 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4512 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4513 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4514 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4515 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4516 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4517 the client will at least see that alert.
4520 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4524 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4525 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4526 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4528 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4529 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4530 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4531 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4534 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4535 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4536 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4538 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4539 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4540 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4541 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4542 may leak via logfiles.)
4544 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4545 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4546 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4547 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4551 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4552 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4555 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4556 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4557 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4558 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4559 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4562 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4563 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4565 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4566 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4567 followed by modular reduction.
4568 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4570 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4571 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4574 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4575 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4576 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4577 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4580 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4583 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4584 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4587 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4588 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4589 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4590 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4591 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4592 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4594 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4596 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4597 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4598 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4599 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4600 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4602 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4605 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4606 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4607 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4608 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4609 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4610 to allow the necessary settings.
4613 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4614 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4615 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4616 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4619 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4620 dh->length and always used
4622 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4624 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4625 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4626 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4627 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4628 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4633 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4635 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4641 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4642 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4643 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4644 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4646 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4647 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4648 always reject numbers >= n.
4651 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4652 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4653 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4654 variable) is not atomic.
4657 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4658 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4659 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4660 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4662 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4663 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4665 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4667 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4669 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4672 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4674 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4675 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4676 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4677 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4678 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4679 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4680 to traverse all of 'state'.
4682 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4683 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4684 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4686 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4687 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4689 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4690 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4691 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4692 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4693 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4694 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4695 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4696 further strengthens the PRNG.
4699 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4702 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4703 an error message in this case.
4706 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4709 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4710 positive and less than q.
4713 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4714 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4716 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4718 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4719 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4723 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4725 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4726 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4727 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4728 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4729 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4730 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4731 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4734 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4735 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4736 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4737 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4739 Both problems are now fixed.
4742 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4743 (previously it was 1024).
4746 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4747 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4750 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4753 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4754 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4755 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4758 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4759 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4760 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4761 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4762 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4763 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4764 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4765 environment variables.
4767 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4768 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4769 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4772 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4773 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4774 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4775 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4776 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4777 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4780 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4784 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4786 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4787 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4789 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4790 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4791 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4792 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4796 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4797 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4798 amount of data available.
4799 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4800 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4802 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4803 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4804 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4805 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4808 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4809 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4813 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4814 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4815 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4816 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4819 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4822 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4825 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4826 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4828 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4830 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4831 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4832 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4833 (but broken) behaviour.
4836 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4838 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4840 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4841 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4844 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4848 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4849 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4851 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4854 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4855 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4856 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4858 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4859 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4860 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4863 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4864 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4867 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4868 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4870 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4872 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4874 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4875 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4876 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4877 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4880 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4883 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4884 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4885 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4887 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4890 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4892 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4893 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4894 but the code is actually correct.
4897 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4898 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4899 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4900 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4901 and leaves the highest bit random.
4902 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4904 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4905 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4906 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4907 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4908 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4909 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4910 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4913 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4916 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4917 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4920 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4921 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4922 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4923 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4927 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4928 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4929 and break the signature.
4931 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4933 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4937 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4938 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4939 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4940 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4941 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4944 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4945 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4947 *) ./config script fixes.
4948 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4950 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4953 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4954 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4955 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4956 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4957 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4959 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4960 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4963 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4964 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4967 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4968 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4969 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4970 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4972 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4973 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4975 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4976 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4977 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4978 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4979 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4981 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4984 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4987 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4990 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4993 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4994 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4997 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4998 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4999 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5000 result of the server certificate verification.)
5003 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5004 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5005 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5009 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5010 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5011 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5012 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5013 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5014 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5015 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5016 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5019 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5020 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5021 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5022 happening the other way round.
5025 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5026 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5029 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5030 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5031 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5032 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5035 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5036 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5038 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5040 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5041 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5042 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5045 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5047 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5049 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5053 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5055 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5056 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5057 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5058 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5059 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5061 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5062 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5066 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5069 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5071 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5072 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5073 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5074 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5075 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5076 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5077 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5078 by the Finished messages.
5081 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5082 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5084 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5085 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5086 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5087 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5088 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5092 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5093 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5094 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5095 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5096 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5097 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5098 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5099 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5100 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5104 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5105 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5106 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5107 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5109 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5110 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5111 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5112 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5113 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5116 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5117 been tested well enough.
5120 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5121 it can return incorrect results.
5122 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5123 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5126 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5127 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5128 include zero length content when signing messages.
5131 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5132 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5135 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5138 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5142 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5143 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5144 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5145 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5146 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5147 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5150 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5151 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5153 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5154 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5156 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5157 random number < q in the DSA library.
5160 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5161 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5162 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5163 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5164 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5165 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5166 just makes things more complicated.)
5169 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5173 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5174 work better on such systems.
5175 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5177 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5178 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5179 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5182 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5183 if there was more than one signature.
5184 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5186 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5187 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5188 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5189 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5192 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5193 rather than always using the current time.
5196 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5197 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5198 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5199 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5200 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5201 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5203 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5204 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5206 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5208 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5209 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5210 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5211 the same hash value.
5213 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5214 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5215 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5216 with X509_STORE internally.
5218 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5219 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5221 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5222 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5223 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5224 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5225 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5226 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5227 entirely (maybe later...).
5229 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5231 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5232 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5233 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5234 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5235 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5236 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5237 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5238 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5240 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5241 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5243 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5244 to customise the verify behaviour.
5247 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5248 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5251 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5252 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5253 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5254 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5255 request is improperly encoded.
5258 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5259 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5262 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5263 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5265 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5266 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5270 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5271 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5272 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5275 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5276 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5277 BIO/fp routines also added.
5280 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5281 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5283 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5284 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5285 demos/state_machine.
5288 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5289 generation and verification.
5292 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5293 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5294 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5295 encode and decode it manually.
5298 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5300 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5302 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5303 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5304 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5305 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5307 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5308 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5309 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5310 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5311 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5314 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5317 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5318 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5319 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5321 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5322 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5323 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5324 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5325 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5326 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5327 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5328 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5330 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5331 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5333 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5335 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5336 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5337 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5341 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5342 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5343 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5344 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5348 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5350 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5353 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5354 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5355 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5356 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5357 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5358 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5359 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5360 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5361 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5362 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5363 short or long names are found.
5366 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5367 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5369 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5370 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5371 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5372 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5374 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5375 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5376 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5377 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5380 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5381 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5382 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5385 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5386 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5387 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5388 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5389 to allow the various flags to be set.
5392 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5393 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5394 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5395 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5396 dates to be checked.
5399 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5400 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5401 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5404 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5405 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5406 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5409 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5410 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5413 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5414 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5415 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5416 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5417 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5418 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5421 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5422 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5426 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5430 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5431 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5432 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5433 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5434 form signing output easier to verify.
5437 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5440 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5441 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5442 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5443 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5444 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5445 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5446 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5447 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5448 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5449 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5452 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5454 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5455 the syntax given in objects.README.
5456 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5458 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5461 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5462 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5463 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5464 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5465 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5466 consistent name changes.
5469 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5472 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5473 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5474 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5475 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5478 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5479 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5480 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5484 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5485 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5486 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5487 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5490 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5491 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5492 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5493 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5494 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5495 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5496 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5497 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5498 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5499 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5500 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5503 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5504 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5505 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5506 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5507 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5508 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5509 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5510 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5511 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5512 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5515 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5516 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5517 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5518 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5520 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5521 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5522 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5523 omit any duplicate addresses.
5526 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5527 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5530 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5531 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5532 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5533 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5534 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5537 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5539 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5540 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5541 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5542 Free => OPENSSL_free
5545 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5546 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5549 *) CygWin32 support.
5550 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5552 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5553 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5554 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5555 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5556 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5560 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5561 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5562 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5563 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5564 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5565 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5566 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5569 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5570 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5571 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5572 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5573 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5574 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5575 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5576 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5577 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5578 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5579 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5582 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5583 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5584 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5585 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5586 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5588 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5589 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5590 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5591 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5592 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5594 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5597 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5598 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5599 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5600 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5602 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5604 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5607 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5608 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5609 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5612 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5613 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5614 any installed hardware versions can.
5617 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5618 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5619 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5623 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5624 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5625 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5626 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5627 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5629 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5630 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5633 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5634 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5637 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5638 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5639 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5643 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5646 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5647 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5648 but no ssl client purpose.
5649 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5651 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5652 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5653 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5654 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5655 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5656 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5657 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5658 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5659 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5660 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5661 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5664 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5665 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5666 be obtained from the error queue.
5669 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5670 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5671 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5672 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5675 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5678 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5679 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5680 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5681 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5682 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5685 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5686 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5687 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5688 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5689 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5692 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5693 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5694 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5696 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5698 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5699 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5700 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5701 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5702 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5703 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5704 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5705 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5706 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5707 or "the configuration storage API"...
5709 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5711 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5712 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5714 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5716 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5718 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5719 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5720 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5721 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5722 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5723 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5724 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5726 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5727 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5730 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5731 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5732 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5733 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5736 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5737 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5738 them in a portable way.
5739 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5741 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5743 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5745 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5746 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5748 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5749 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5750 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5753 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5754 was larger than the MD block size.
5755 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5757 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5758 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5759 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5760 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5764 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5765 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5766 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5768 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5770 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5772 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5773 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5774 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5775 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5776 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5777 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5779 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5780 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5782 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5783 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5786 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5789 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5790 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5792 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5793 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5794 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5795 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5798 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5799 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5800 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5801 does not suppress any output.
5804 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5805 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5806 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5807 with all the associated security issues.
5809 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5810 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5811 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5812 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5813 use the value in the default purpose.
5816 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5817 and fix a memory leak.
5820 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5821 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5822 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5823 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5826 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5827 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5828 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5829 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5832 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5833 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5834 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5837 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5838 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5841 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5842 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5846 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5847 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5850 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5851 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5852 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5855 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5856 number generation fails.
5859 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5862 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5863 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5865 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5868 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5869 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5871 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5872 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5874 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5876 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5877 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5880 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5881 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5883 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5884 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5887 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5888 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5889 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5890 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5891 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5892 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5894 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5895 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5896 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5900 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5901 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5902 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5903 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5904 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5905 counter, some don't.)
5906 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5907 counters or duplicate objects.
5910 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5911 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5914 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5915 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5916 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5918 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5919 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5920 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5924 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5925 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5928 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5929 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5930 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5934 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5935 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5936 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5939 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5940 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5941 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5942 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5943 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5944 should work without changes.
5947 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5948 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5949 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5950 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5951 must be defined. E.g.,
5952 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5953 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5954 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5955 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5957 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5961 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5962 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5963 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5966 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5967 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5968 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5969 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5972 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5973 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5974 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5975 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5976 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5977 is prompted for as usual.
5980 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5981 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5982 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5983 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5985 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5986 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5987 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5988 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5991 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5994 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5998 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6001 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6004 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6008 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6011 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6014 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6015 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6018 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6019 options to produce them.
6022 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6023 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6026 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6030 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6031 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6032 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6033 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6034 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6035 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6036 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6039 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6042 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6043 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6044 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6047 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6048 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6050 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6051 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6054 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6055 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6056 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6060 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6061 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6063 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6064 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6065 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6066 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6067 generation becomes much faster.
6069 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6070 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6071 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6072 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6073 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6074 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6075 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6076 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6077 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6078 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6081 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6082 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6083 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6084 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6085 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6086 trial division stage.
6089 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6093 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6096 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6099 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6100 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6101 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6105 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6106 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6107 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6110 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6111 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6112 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6113 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6115 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6116 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6119 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6122 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6123 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6124 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6125 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6128 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6129 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6130 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6133 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6134 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6135 (instead of parameters) in future.
6138 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6139 when a new cipher list is set.
6142 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6143 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6146 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6147 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6148 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6150 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6151 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6152 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6153 an error is flagged.
6155 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6156 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6157 the readability was also increased :-)
6158 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6160 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6161 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6162 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6163 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6167 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6168 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6171 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6172 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6173 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6174 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6177 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6178 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6179 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6180 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6181 because they handle more complex structures.)
6184 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6185 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6186 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6187 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6189 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6190 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6191 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6192 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6193 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6194 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6195 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6198 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6199 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6200 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6201 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6202 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6205 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6208 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6209 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6210 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6211 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6212 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6215 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6219 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6220 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6221 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6222 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6225 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6228 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6229 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6230 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6231 international characters are used.
6233 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6234 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6235 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6239 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6240 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6241 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6244 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6245 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6246 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6247 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6248 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6249 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6251 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6252 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6253 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6254 be handled by the string table functions.
6256 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6257 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6258 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6259 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6260 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6264 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6265 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6266 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6267 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6268 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6270 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6271 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6272 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6273 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6276 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6277 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6278 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6279 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6280 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6284 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6285 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6286 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6287 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6288 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6289 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6290 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6291 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6293 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6294 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6295 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6298 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6299 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6300 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6301 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6302 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6303 support to pkcs8 application.
6306 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6307 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6308 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6309 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6310 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6311 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6314 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6315 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6316 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6317 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6318 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6322 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6323 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6324 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6325 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6329 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6330 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6331 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6332 and any application specific purposes.
6334 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6335 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6336 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6337 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6338 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6339 if the certificate is self signed.
6342 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6343 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6346 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6347 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6348 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6349 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6352 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6353 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6354 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6355 Update documentation.
6358 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6359 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6360 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6361 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6362 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6365 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6367 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6369 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6370 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6371 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6372 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6373 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6374 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6375 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6376 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6377 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6378 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6380 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6382 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6383 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6384 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6385 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6386 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6388 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6389 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6390 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6391 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6392 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6393 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6394 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6395 request additional information:
6396 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6397 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6399 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6400 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6401 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6404 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6405 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6408 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6411 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6412 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6414 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6415 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6416 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6420 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6421 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6422 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6424 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6425 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6426 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6427 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6428 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6429 included in OpenSSL.
6432 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6433 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6434 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6435 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6436 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6437 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6440 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6444 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6445 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6446 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6447 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6448 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6452 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6456 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6457 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6458 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6459 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6460 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6461 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6462 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6463 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6464 be maintained manually.
6466 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6467 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6468 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6469 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6470 work because people forget to call this function]
6471 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6472 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6473 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6476 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6477 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6478 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6479 should be discouraged from doing it.
6482 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6483 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6484 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6485 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6486 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6487 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6490 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6491 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6492 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6494 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6495 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6496 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6498 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6499 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6500 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6501 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6502 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6503 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6505 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6506 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6507 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6509 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6510 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6513 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6514 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6515 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6516 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6519 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6522 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6523 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6524 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6525 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6526 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6527 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6528 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6529 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6530 keys so we should be OK.
6532 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6533 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6534 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6535 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6536 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6537 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6538 stay in the name of compatibility.
6540 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6541 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6542 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6544 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6545 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6546 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6547 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6548 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6549 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6553 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6554 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6555 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6556 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6557 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6558 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6559 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6560 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6561 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6562 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6563 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6564 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6565 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6568 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6571 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6572 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6573 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6574 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6575 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6576 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6577 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6578 openssl verify ss.pem
6579 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6580 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6584 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6585 (and add it to external session representation).
6586 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6587 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6588 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6589 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6590 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6591 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6593 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6595 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6596 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6597 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6598 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6600 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6601 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6602 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6605 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6606 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6607 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6611 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6612 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6613 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6615 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6616 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6617 certificate auxiliary information.
6620 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6624 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6625 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6626 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6627 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6628 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6629 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6630 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6633 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6634 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6637 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6638 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6639 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6640 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6643 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6646 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6647 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6650 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6651 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6652 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6653 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6654 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6655 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6656 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6657 using the new 'x509' options.
6659 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6660 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6661 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6662 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6666 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6667 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6668 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6669 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6670 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6673 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6674 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6675 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6676 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6677 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6678 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6679 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6680 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6681 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6682 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6685 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6686 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6687 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6688 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6689 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6690 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6691 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6694 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6695 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6696 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6697 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6698 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6699 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6700 openssl.cnf for more info.
6703 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6704 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6705 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6706 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6707 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6708 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6709 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6710 md should be large enough anyway.
6713 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6714 for handling the random seed file.
6716 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6718 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6721 x509 (when signing).
6722 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6723 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6724 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6726 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6727 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6728 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6729 that support '-rand'.
6732 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6733 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6736 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6737 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6740 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6741 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6742 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6743 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6747 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6748 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6749 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6750 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6753 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6754 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6755 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6756 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6757 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6758 print out all the purposes.
6761 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6765 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6766 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6767 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6768 single function call.
6771 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6772 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6775 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6776 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6777 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6780 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6781 when producing the local key id.
6782 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6784 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6785 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6786 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6790 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6791 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6792 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6793 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6796 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6797 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6798 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6799 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6801 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6802 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6803 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6804 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6806 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6807 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6808 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6809 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6810 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6811 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6812 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6813 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6814 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6815 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6816 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6817 trivial: move one line.
6818 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6820 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6821 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6822 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6823 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6824 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6825 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6826 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6827 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6828 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6829 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6830 with an event loop for example.
6833 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6834 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6835 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6836 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6837 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6838 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6839 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6840 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6841 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6844 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6845 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6846 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6847 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6848 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6849 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6852 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6853 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6854 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6855 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6857 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6858 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6859 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6860 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6864 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6865 (still largely untested)
6868 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6869 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6872 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6873 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6876 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6877 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6878 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6881 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6882 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6883 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6884 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6885 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6888 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6891 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6892 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6893 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6894 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6895 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6899 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6900 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6903 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6906 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6907 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6908 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6909 are otherwise ignored at present.
6912 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6913 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6914 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6915 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6916 copied until the next read.
6919 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6920 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6921 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6924 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6925 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6926 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6927 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6928 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6929 associated functions.
6932 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6933 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6934 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6935 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6936 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6937 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6938 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6939 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6940 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6944 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6945 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6946 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6947 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6950 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6951 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6952 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6953 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6954 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6958 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6959 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6963 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6964 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6965 extensions to be obtained and added.
6968 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6969 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6972 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6974 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6975 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6977 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6978 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6980 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6984 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6985 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6986 DH parameters contain its length).
6988 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6989 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6990 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6991 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6992 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6993 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6994 utter importance to use
6995 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6997 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6998 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6999 attacks may become possible!
7002 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7005 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7006 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7009 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7010 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7011 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7015 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7016 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7017 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7018 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7019 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7020 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7021 private key operations.
7024 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7027 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7028 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7030 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7031 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7032 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7033 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7034 the password callback is called.
7035 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7037 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7039 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7040 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7041 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7042 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7043 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7044 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7047 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7048 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7049 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7050 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7051 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7052 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7055 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7058 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7059 delete an unused file.
7062 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7063 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7064 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7065 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7068 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7069 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7070 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7074 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7075 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7076 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7078 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7079 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7080 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7081 comparison" warnings.
7082 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7085 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7086 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7087 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7090 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7091 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7093 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7094 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7096 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7097 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7098 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7100 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7101 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7102 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7103 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7104 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7106 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7108 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7109 The interface is as follows:
7110 Applications can use
7111 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7112 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7113 "off" is now the default.
7114 The library internally uses
7115 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7116 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7117 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7119 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7120 even the default) are now avoided.
7122 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7123 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7124 than just having a counter.
7126 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7128 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7132 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7133 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7134 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7135 Initial "mode" flags are:
7137 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7138 a single record has been written.
7139 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7140 retries use the same buffer location.
7141 (But all of the contents must be
7145 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7148 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7149 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7151 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7152 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7153 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7156 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7157 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7159 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7161 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7162 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7163 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7164 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7166 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7167 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7169 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7170 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7171 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7172 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7173 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7174 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7177 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7178 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7179 necessary function names.
7182 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7183 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7184 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7185 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7188 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7189 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7190 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7193 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7194 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7195 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7196 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7198 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7202 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7203 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7204 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7207 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7208 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7212 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7213 for the encoded length.
7214 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7216 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7219 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7220 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7221 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7222 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7225 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7226 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7227 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7229 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7230 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7231 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7235 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7236 to use the new extension code.
7239 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7240 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7241 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7245 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7246 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7247 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7251 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7254 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7255 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7256 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7259 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7260 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7261 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7262 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7265 *) DES library cleanups.
7268 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7269 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7270 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7271 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7272 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7276 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7277 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7280 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7281 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7282 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7283 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7284 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7285 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7286 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7287 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7288 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7291 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7292 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7293 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7294 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7295 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7296 value doesn't matter.
7299 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7303 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7304 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7305 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7306 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7308 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7311 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7312 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7313 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7315 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7316 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7318 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7321 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7324 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7327 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7331 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7333 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7335 *) Updated some demos.
7336 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7338 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7341 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7344 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7347 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7348 instead of using a fixed path.
7351 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7354 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7358 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7360 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7361 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7362 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7364 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7365 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7366 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7367 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7368 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7369 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7370 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7371 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7372 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7373 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7376 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7377 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7380 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7381 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7382 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7383 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7384 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7386 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7389 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7390 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7391 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7394 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7397 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7398 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7399 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7400 key elements as negative integers.
7403 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7404 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7407 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7409 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7410 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7411 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7414 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7415 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7416 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7417 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7418 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7421 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7424 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7425 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7426 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7427 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7429 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7430 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7431 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7433 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7434 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7435 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7436 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7437 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7438 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7439 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7440 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7441 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7443 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7444 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7445 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7446 does not influence s as it used to.
7448 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7449 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7450 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7451 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7452 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7453 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7456 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7457 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7458 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7462 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7463 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7464 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7468 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7469 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7470 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7474 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7475 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7478 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7479 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7484 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7485 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7487 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7488 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7490 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7493 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7496 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7497 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7499 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7500 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7501 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7505 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7506 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7507 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7508 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7509 now it really counts the depth.
7512 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7513 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7514 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7515 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7516 didn't match the private key).
7518 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7519 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7520 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7523 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7526 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7530 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7531 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7532 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7535 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7538 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7539 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7540 such as /usr/local/bin.
7543 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7544 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7546 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7549 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7550 extension adding in x509 utility.
7553 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7556 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7560 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7563 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7564 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7565 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7566 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7567 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7568 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7569 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7570 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7571 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7572 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7575 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7578 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7579 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7582 *) Fix some race conditions.
7585 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7586 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7589 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7592 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7593 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7594 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7595 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7597 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7598 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7600 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7601 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7602 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7604 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7605 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7607 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7610 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7611 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7613 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7616 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7617 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7619 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7620 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7623 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7624 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7627 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7628 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7631 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7632 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7635 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7636 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7639 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7640 support typesafe stack.
7643 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7644 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7646 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7647 old X509V3 handling code.
7650 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7653 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7656 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7659 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7660 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7662 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7663 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7664 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7665 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7666 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7669 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7670 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7671 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7672 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7673 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7675 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7676 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7677 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7678 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7680 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7681 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7682 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7683 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7685 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7686 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7687 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7688 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7689 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7690 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7693 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7694 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7697 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7698 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7701 *) Tweaks to Configure
7702 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7704 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7708 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7711 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7712 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7715 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7716 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7717 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7720 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7723 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7724 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7727 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7728 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7729 to library startup routines.
7732 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7733 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7734 codes along the way.
7737 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7738 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7739 objects to objects.h
7742 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7743 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7746 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7747 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7749 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7750 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7751 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7753 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7754 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7755 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7757 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7758 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7759 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7762 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7764 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7765 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7768 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7769 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7770 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7771 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7772 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7774 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7775 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7776 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7778 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7780 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7782 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7784 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7785 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7787 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7788 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7789 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7790 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7792 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7795 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7796 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7797 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7798 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7801 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7802 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7803 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7806 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7807 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7808 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7809 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7810 installed as `perl').
7811 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7813 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7814 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7816 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7817 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7818 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7819 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7820 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7823 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7826 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7827 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7828 is horrible: I feel ill....
7831 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7832 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7833 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7834 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7837 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7838 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7840 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7841 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7842 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7843 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7845 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7846 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7847 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7848 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7849 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7850 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7852 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7854 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7855 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7857 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7858 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7860 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7863 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7864 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7868 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7869 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7870 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7871 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7872 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7873 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7874 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7875 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7876 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7877 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7878 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7880 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7883 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7884 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7885 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7886 for linking it into DSOs.
7887 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7889 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7893 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7894 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7895 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7896 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7897 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7898 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7900 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7901 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7902 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7903 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7904 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7905 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7906 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7908 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7909 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7910 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7914 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7915 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7916 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7917 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7920 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7921 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7922 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7923 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7924 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7928 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7929 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7930 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7931 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7932 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7934 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7935 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7936 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7938 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7939 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7941 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7942 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7943 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7944 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7945 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7948 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7949 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7950 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7951 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7952 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7953 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7954 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7957 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7959 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7960 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7963 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7964 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7966 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7967 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7970 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7971 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7972 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7973 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7974 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7976 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7977 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7978 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7979 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7980 no way to reconfigure them.
7981 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7982 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7983 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7984 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7985 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7986 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7988 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7989 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7990 recognized by the users.
7991 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7993 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7994 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7995 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7996 already masked variable.
7997 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7999 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8000 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8002 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8003 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8004 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8005 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8007 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8008 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8009 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8011 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8012 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8013 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8014 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8015 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8016 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8017 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8018 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8020 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8022 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8023 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8024 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8026 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8027 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8031 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8032 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8034 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8035 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8036 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8037 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8040 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8043 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8044 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8046 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8049 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8050 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8053 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8054 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8057 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8058 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8059 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8060 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8061 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8062 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8063 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8066 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8067 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8069 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8070 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8071 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8072 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8073 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8075 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8076 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8077 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8080 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8081 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8085 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8086 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8087 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8089 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8090 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8091 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8095 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8096 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8097 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8098 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8101 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8102 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8103 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8104 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8107 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8108 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8109 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8110 so it wasn't spotted.
8111 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8113 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8114 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8115 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8116 vectors if you have them.
8119 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8120 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8123 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8124 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8125 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8126 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8128 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8129 it will update them.
8132 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8133 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8134 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8135 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8136 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8137 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8138 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8139 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8141 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8142 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8143 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8144 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8145 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8146 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8147 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8148 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8149 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8150 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8152 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8153 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8154 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8155 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8156 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8159 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8163 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8164 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8166 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8167 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8169 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8170 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8173 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8174 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8176 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8177 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8179 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8182 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8186 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8187 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8188 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8189 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8191 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8194 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8197 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8200 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8201 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8204 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8205 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8209 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8210 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8213 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8214 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8215 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8218 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8219 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8220 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8221 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8222 properly to be processed.
8225 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8226 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8227 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8230 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8231 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8233 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8234 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8235 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8236 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8237 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8238 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8239 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8240 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8241 or delete all the .err files.
8244 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8245 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8246 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8247 to regenerate it if needed.
8248 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8249 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8251 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8252 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8254 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8255 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8256 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8257 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8258 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8261 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8262 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8264 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8265 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8267 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8268 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8269 error, but didn't set one).
8270 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8272 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8275 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8276 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8279 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8280 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8282 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8283 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8284 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8285 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8286 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8287 OID is not part of the table.
8290 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8291 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8294 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8297 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8298 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8302 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8303 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8305 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8307 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8309 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8310 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8312 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8313 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8315 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8316 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8318 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8319 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8322 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8323 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8326 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8327 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8329 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8330 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8332 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8333 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8335 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8336 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8338 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8339 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8340 unused in the certificate verification process.
8341 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8343 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8344 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8347 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8348 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8349 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8351 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8352 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8353 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8354 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8355 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8357 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8358 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8361 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8364 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8367 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8368 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8370 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8373 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8376 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8379 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8380 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8381 other error libraries.
8384 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8387 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8388 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8392 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8393 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8394 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8395 the new set of documenation files.
8396 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8398 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8399 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8400 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8401 number of arguments.
8402 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8404 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8407 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8408 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8409 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8411 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8414 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8418 unixware-2.0-pentium
8422 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8423 before they are needed.
8426 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8430 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8432 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8433 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8434 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8436 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8439 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8440 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8441 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8443 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8444 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8445 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8447 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8448 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8449 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8451 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8452 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8454 *) Updated the README file.
8455 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8457 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8458 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8459 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8461 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8462 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8463 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8465 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8466 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8467 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8468 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8469 o removed obsolete TODO file
8470 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8471 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8473 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8474 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8475 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

8478 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8479 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8481 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8484 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8485 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8486 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8488 [The OpenSSL Project]
8491 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8493 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8496 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8499 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8500 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8503 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8504 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8508 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8510 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8512 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8515 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8518 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8521 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8524 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8527 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8530 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8533 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8536 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8539 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8542 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8545 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8548 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8551 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8554 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8557 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8560 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8563 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8564 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8565 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8568 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8569 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8572 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8575 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8578 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8579 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8582 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8585 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8588 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8589 bytes sent in the client random.
