10 Changes between 1.1.1k and 1.1.1l [24 Aug 2021]
11
12 *) Fixed an SM2 Decryption Buffer Overflow.
13
14 In order to decrypt SM2 encrypted data an application is expected to call the
15 API function EVP_PKEY_decrypt(). Typically an application will call this
16 function twice. The first time, on entry, the "out" parameter can be NULL and,
17 on exit, the "outlen" parameter is populated with the buffer size required to
18 hold the decrypted plaintext. The application can then allocate a sufficiently
19 sized buffer and call EVP_PKEY_decrypt() again, but this time passing a non-NULL
20 value for the "out" parameter.
21
22 A bug in the implementation of the SM2 decryption code means that the
23 calculation of the buffer size required to hold the plaintext returned by the
24 first call to EVP_PKEY_decrypt() can be smaller than the actual size required by
25 the second call. This can lead to a buffer overflow when EVP_PKEY_decrypt() is
26 called by the application a second time with a buffer that is too small.
27
28 A malicious attacker who is able present SM2 content for decryption to an
29 application could cause attacker chosen data to overflow the buffer by up to a
30 maximum of 62 bytes altering the contents of other data held after the
31 buffer, possibly changing application behaviour or causing the application to
32 crash. The location of the buffer is application dependent but is typically
33 heap allocated.
34 (CVE-2021-3711)
35 [Matt Caswell]
36
37 *) Fixed various read buffer overruns processing ASN.1 strings
38
39 ASN.1 strings are represented internally within OpenSSL as an ASN1_STRING
40 structure which contains a buffer holding the string data and a field holding
41 the buffer length. This contrasts with normal C strings which are repesented as
42 a buffer for the string data which is terminated with a NUL (0) byte.
43
44 Although not a strict requirement, ASN.1 strings that are parsed using OpenSSL's
45 own "d2i" functions (and other similar parsing functions) as well as any string
46 whose value has been set with the ASN1_STRING_set() function will additionally
47 NUL terminate the byte array in the ASN1_STRING structure.
48
49 However, it is possible for applications to directly construct valid ASN1_STRING
50 structures which do not NUL terminate the byte array by directly setting the
51 "data" and "length" fields in the ASN1_STRING array. This can also happen by
52 using the ASN1_STRING_set0() function.
53
54 Numerous OpenSSL functions that print ASN.1 data have been found to assume that
55 the ASN1_STRING byte array will be NUL terminated, even though this is not
56 guaranteed for strings that have been directly constructed. Where an application
57 requests an ASN.1 structure to be printed, and where that ASN.1 structure
58 contains ASN1_STRINGs that have been directly constructed by the application
59 without NUL terminating the "data" field, then a read buffer overrun can occur.
60
61 The same thing can also occur during name constraints processing of certificates
62 (for example if a certificate has been directly constructed by the application
63 instead of loading it via the OpenSSL parsing functions, and the certificate
64 contains non NUL terminated ASN1_STRING structures). It can also occur in the
65 X509_get1_email(), X509_REQ_get1_email() and X509_get1_ocsp() functions.
66
67 If a malicious actor can cause an application to directly construct an
68 ASN1_STRING and then process it through one of the affected OpenSSL functions
69 then this issue could be hit. This might result in a crash (causing a Denial of
70 Service attack). It could also result in the disclosure of private memory
71 contents (such as private keys, or sensitive plaintext).
72 (CVE-2021-3712)
73 [Matt Caswell]
74
75 Changes between 1.1.1j and 1.1.1k [25 Mar 2021]
76
77 *) Fixed a problem with verifying a certificate chain when using the
78 X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag. This flag enables additional security checks
79 of the certificates present in a certificate chain. It is not set by
80 default.
81
82 Starting from OpenSSL version 1.1.1h a check to disallow certificates in
83 the chain that have explicitly encoded elliptic curve parameters was added
84 as an additional strict check.
85
86 An error in the implementation of this check meant that the result of a
87 previous check to confirm that certificates in the chain are valid CA
88 certificates was overwritten. This effectively bypasses the check
89 that non-CA certificates must not be able to issue other certificates.
90
91 If a "purpose" has been configured then there is a subsequent opportunity
92 for checks that the certificate is a valid CA. All of the named "purpose"
93 values implemented in libcrypto perform this check. Therefore, where
94 a purpose is set the certificate chain will still be rejected even when the
95 strict flag has been used. A purpose is set by default in libssl client and
96 server certificate verification routines, but it can be overridden or
97 removed by an application.
98
99 In order to be affected, an application must explicitly set the
100 X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT verification flag and either not set a purpose
101 for the certificate verification or, in the case of TLS client or server
102 applications, override the default purpose.
103 (CVE-2021-3450)
104 [Tomáš Mráz]
105
106 *) Fixed an issue where an OpenSSL TLS server may crash if sent a maliciously
107 crafted renegotiation ClientHello message from a client. If a TLSv1.2
108 renegotiation ClientHello omits the signature_algorithms extension (where
109 it was present in the initial ClientHello), but includes a
110 signature_algorithms_cert extension then a NULL pointer dereference will
111 result, leading to a crash and a denial of service attack.
112
113 A server is only vulnerable if it has TLSv1.2 and renegotiation enabled
114 (which is the default configuration). OpenSSL TLS clients are not impacted
115 by this issue.
116 (CVE-2021-3449)
117 [Peter Kästle and Samuel Sapalski]
118
119 Changes between 1.1.1i and 1.1.1j [16 Feb 2021]
120
121 *) Fixed the X509_issuer_and_serial_hash() function. It attempts to
122 create a unique hash value based on the issuer and serial number data
123 contained within an X509 certificate. However it was failing to correctly
124 handle any errors that may occur while parsing the issuer field (which might
125 occur if the issuer field is maliciously constructed). This may subsequently
126 result in a NULL pointer deref and a crash leading to a potential denial of
127 service attack.
128 (CVE-2021-23841)
129 [Matt Caswell]
130
131 *) Fixed the RSA_padding_check_SSLv23() function and the RSA_SSLV23_PADDING
132 padding mode to correctly check for rollback attacks. This is considered a
133 bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1 because it does not support SSLv2. In 1.0.2 this is
134 CVE-2021-23839.
135 [Matt Caswell]
136
137 *) Fixed the EVP_CipherUpdate, EVP_EncryptUpdate and EVP_DecryptUpdate
138 functions. Previously they could overflow the output length argument in some
139 cases where the input length is close to the maximum permissable length for
140 an integer on the platform. In such cases the return value from the function
141 call would be 1 (indicating success), but the output length value would be
142 negative. This could cause applications to behave incorrectly or crash.
143 (CVE-2021-23840)
144 [Matt Caswell]
145
146 *) Fixed SRP_Calc_client_key so that it runs in constant time. The previous
147 implementation called BN_mod_exp without setting BN_FLG_CONSTTIME. This
148 could be exploited in a side channel attack to recover the password. Since
149 the attack is local host only this is outside of the current OpenSSL
150 threat model and therefore no CVE is assigned.
151
152 Thanks to Mohammed Sabt and Daniel De Almeida Braga for reporting this
153 issue.
154 [Matt Caswell]
155
156 Changes between 1.1.1h and 1.1.1i [8 Dec 2020]
157
158 *) Fixed NULL pointer deref in the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function
159 This function could crash if both GENERAL_NAMEs contain an EDIPARTYNAME.
160 If an attacker can control both items being compared then this could lead
161 to a possible denial of service attack. OpenSSL itself uses the
162 GENERAL_NAME_cmp function for two purposes:
163 1) Comparing CRL distribution point names between an available CRL and a
164 CRL distribution point embedded in an X509 certificate
165 2) When verifying that a timestamp response token signer matches the
166 timestamp authority name (exposed via the API functions
167 TS_RESP_verify_response and TS_RESP_verify_token)
168 (CVE-2020-1971)
169 [Matt Caswell]
170
171 *) Add support for Apple Silicon M1 Macs with the darwin64-arm64-cc target.
172 [Stuart Carnie]
173
174 *) The security callback, which can be customised by application code, supports
175 the security operation SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH. This is defined to take an EVP_PKEY
176 in the "other" parameter. In most places this is what is passed. All these
177 places occur server side. However there was one client side call of this
178 security operation and it passed a DH object instead. This is incorrect
179 according to the definition of SSL_SECOP_TMP_DH, and is inconsistent with all
180 of the other locations. Therefore this client side call has been changed to
181 pass an EVP_PKEY instead.
182 [Matt Caswell]
183
184 *) In 1.1.1h, an expired trusted (root) certificate was not anymore rejected
185 when validating a certificate path. This check is restored in 1.1.1i.
186 [David von Oheimb]
187
188 Changes between 1.1.1g and 1.1.1h [22 Sep 2020]
189
190 *) Certificates with explicit curve parameters are now disallowed in
191 verification chains if the X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag is used.
192 [Tomas Mraz]
193
194 *) The 'MinProtocol' and 'MaxProtocol' configuration commands now silently
195 ignore TLS protocol version bounds when configuring DTLS-based contexts, and
196 conversely, silently ignore DTLS protocol version bounds when configuring
197 TLS-based contexts. The commands can be repeated to set bounds of both
198 types. The same applies with the corresponding "min_protocol" and
199 "max_protocol" command-line switches, in case some application uses both TLS
200 and DTLS.
201
202 SSL_CTX instances that are created for a fixed protocol version (e.g.
203 TLSv1_server_method()) also silently ignore version bounds. Previously
204 attempts to apply bounds to these protocol versions would result in an
205 error. Now only the "version-flexible" SSL_CTX instances are subject to
206 limits in configuration files in command-line options.
207 [Viktor Dukhovni]
208
209 *) Handshake now fails if Extended Master Secret extension is dropped
210 on renegotiation.
211 [Tomas Mraz]
212
213 *) Accidentally, an expired trusted (root) certificate is not anymore rejected
214 when validating a certificate path.
215 [David von Oheimb]
216
217 *) The Oracle Developer Studio compiler will start reporting deprecated APIs
218
219 Changes between 1.1.1f and 1.1.1g [21 Apr 2020]
220
221 *) Fixed segmentation fault in SSL_check_chain()
222 Server or client applications that call the SSL_check_chain() function
223 during or after a TLS 1.3 handshake may crash due to a NULL pointer
224 dereference as a result of incorrect handling of the
225 "signature_algorithms_cert" TLS extension. The crash occurs if an invalid
226 or unrecognised signature algorithm is received from the peer. This could
227 be exploited by a malicious peer in a Denial of Service attack.
228 (CVE-2020-1967)
229 [Benjamin Kaduk]
230
231 *) Added AES consttime code for no-asm configurations
232 an optional constant time support for AES was added
233 when building openssl for no-asm.
234 Enable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_AES_CONST_TIME
235 Disable with: ./config no-asm -DOPENSSL_NO_AES_CONST_TIME
236 At this time this feature is by default disabled.
237 It will be enabled by default in 3.0.
238 [Bernd Edlinger]
239
240 Changes between 1.1.1e and 1.1.1f [31 Mar 2020]
241
242 *) Revert the change of EOF detection while reading in libssl to avoid
243 regressions in applications depending on the current way of reporting
244 the EOF. As the existing method is not fully accurate the change to
245 reporting the EOF via SSL_ERROR_SSL is kept on the current development
246 branch and will be present in the 3.0 release.
247 [Tomas Mraz]
248
249 *) Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 3..17863 in p-1
250 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
251 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
252 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
253 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
254 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
255 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
256 [Bernd Edlinger]
257
258 Changes between 1.1.1d and 1.1.1e [17 Mar 2020]
259 *) Properly detect EOF while reading in libssl. Previously if we hit an EOF
260 while reading in libssl then we would report an error back to the
261 application (SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL) but errno would be 0. We now add
262 an error to the stack (which means we instead return SSL_ERROR_SSL) and
263 therefore give a hint as to what went wrong.
264 [Matt Caswell]
265
266 *) Check that ed25519 and ed448 are allowed by the security level. Previously
267 signature algorithms not using an MD were not being checked that they were
268 allowed by the security level.
269 [Kurt Roeckx]
270
271 *) Fixed SSL_get_servername() behaviour. The behaviour of SSL_get_servername()
272 was not quite right. The behaviour was not consistent between resumption
273 and normal handshakes, and also not quite consistent with historical
274 behaviour. The behaviour in various scenarios has been clarified and
275 it has been updated to make it match historical behaviour as closely as
276 possible.
277 [Matt Caswell]
278
279 *) [VMS only] The header files that the VMS compilers include automatically,
280 __DECC_INCLUDE_PROLOGUE.H and __DECC_INCLUDE_EPILOGUE.H, use pragmas that
281 the C++ compiler doesn't understand. This is a shortcoming in the
282 compiler, but can be worked around with __cplusplus guards.
283
284 C++ applications that use OpenSSL libraries must be compiled using the
285 qualifier '/NAMES=(AS_IS,SHORTENED)' to be able to use all the OpenSSL
286 functions. Otherwise, only functions with symbols of less than 31
287 characters can be used, as the linker will not be able to successfully
288 resolve symbols with longer names.
289 [Richard Levitte]
290
291 *) Corrected the documentation of the return values from the EVP_DigestSign*
292 set of functions. The documentation mentioned negative values for some
293 errors, but this was never the case, so the mention of negative values
294 was removed.
295
296 Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with something
297 like 'EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0' will continue to work undisturbed.
298 [Richard Levitte]
299
300 *) Fixed an an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
301 used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
302 affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
303 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
304 difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
305 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
306 have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
307 Also applications directly using the low level API BN_mod_exp may be
308 affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
309 (CVE-2019-1551)
310 [Andy Polyakov]
311
312 *) Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
313 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
314 [Richard Levitte]
315
316 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
317 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
318 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
319 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
320
321 *) Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
322 the first value.
323 [Jon Spillett]
324
325 Changes between 1.1.1c and 1.1.1d [10 Sep 2019]
326
327 *) Fixed a fork protection issue. OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduced a rewritten random
328 number generator (RNG). This was intended to include protection in the
329 event of a fork() system call in order to ensure that the parent and child
330 processes did not share the same RNG state. However this protection was not
331 being used in the default case.
332
333 A partial mitigation for this issue is that the output from a high
334 precision timer is mixed into the RNG state so the likelihood of a parent
335 and child process sharing state is significantly reduced.
336
337 If an application already calls OPENSSL_init_crypto() explicitly using
338 OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK then this problem does not occur at all.
339 (CVE-2019-1549)
340 [Matthias St. Pierre]
341
342 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
343 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
344 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
345 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
346 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
347 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
348 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
349 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
350 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
351 [Nicola Tuveri]
352
353 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
354 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
355 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
356 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
357 (CVE-2019-1547)
358 [Billy Bob Brumley]
359
360 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
361 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
362 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
363 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
364 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
365 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
366 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
367 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
368 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
369 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
370 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
371 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
372 (CVE-2019-1563)
373 [Bernd Edlinger]
374
375 *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
376 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
377 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
378 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
379 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
380 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
381 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
382 [Paul Dale]
383
384 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
385 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
386 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
387 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
388 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
389 [Matt Caswell]
390
391 *) Use Windows installation paths in the mingw builds
392
393 Mingw isn't a POSIX environment per se, which means that Windows
394 paths should be used for installation.
395 (CVE-2019-1552)
396 [Richard Levitte]
397
398 *) Changed DH_check to accept parameters with order q and 2q subgroups.
399 With order 2q subgroups the bit 0 of the private key is not secret
400 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
401 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
402 [Bernd Edlinger]
403
404 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
405 [Paul Dale]
406
407 *) Revert the DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
408
409 The DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature added a select() call to wait for the
410 /dev/random device to become readable before reading from the
411 /dev/urandom device.
412
413 It turned out that this change had negative side effects on
414 performance which were not acceptable. After some discussion it
415 was decided to revert this feature and leave it up to the OS
416 resp. the platform maintainer to ensure a proper initialization
417 during early boot time.
418 [Matthias St. Pierre]
419
420 Changes between 1.1.1b and 1.1.1c [28 May 2019]
421
422 *) Add build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
423 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
424 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
425
426 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
427 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
428 [Richard Levitte]
429
430 *) Enable SHA3 pre-hashing for ECDSA and DSA.
431 [Patrick Steuer]
432
433 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
434 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
435 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
436 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
437 [Kurt Roeckx]
438
439 *) Reorganize the manual pages to consistently have RETURN VALUES,
440 EXAMPLES, SEE ALSO and HISTORY come in that order, and adjust
441 util/fix-doc-nits accordingly.
442 [Paul Yang, Joshua Lock]
443
444 *) Add the missing accessor EVP_PKEY_get0_engine()
445 [Matt Caswell]
446
447 *) Have apps like 's_client' and 's_server' output the signature scheme
448 along with other cipher suite parameters when debugging.
449 [Lorinczy Zsigmond]
450
451 *) Make OPENSSL_config() error agnostic again.
452 [Richard Levitte]
453
454 *) Do the error handling in RSA decryption constant time.
455 [Bernd Edlinger]
456
457 *) Prevent over long nonces in ChaCha20-Poly1305.
458
459 ChaCha20-Poly1305 is an AEAD cipher, and requires a unique nonce input
460 for every encryption operation. RFC 7539 specifies that the nonce value
461 (IV) should be 96 bits (12 bytes). OpenSSL allows a variable nonce length
462 and front pads the nonce with 0 bytes if it is less than 12
463 bytes. However it also incorrectly allows a nonce to be set of up to 16
464 bytes. In this case only the last 12 bytes are significant and any
465 additional leading bytes are ignored.
466
467 It is a requirement of using this cipher that nonce values are
468 unique. Messages encrypted using a reused nonce value are susceptible to
469 serious confidentiality and integrity attacks. If an application changes
470 the default nonce length to be longer than 12 bytes and then makes a
471 change to the leading bytes of the nonce expecting the new value to be a
472 new unique nonce then such an application could inadvertently encrypt
473 messages with a reused nonce.
474
475 Additionally the ignored bytes in a long nonce are not covered by the
476 integrity guarantee of this cipher. Any application that relies on the
477 integrity of these ignored leading bytes of a long nonce may be further
478 affected. Any OpenSSL internal use of this cipher, including in SSL/TLS,
479 is safe because no such use sets such a long nonce value. However user
480 applications that use this cipher directly and set a non-default nonce
481 length to be longer than 12 bytes may be vulnerable.
482
483 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th of March 2019 by Joran Dirk
484 Greef of Ronomon.
485 (CVE-2019-1543)
486 [Matt Caswell]
487
488 *) Add DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature for Linux systems
489
490 On older Linux systems where the getrandom() system call is not available,
491 OpenSSL normally uses the /dev/urandom device for seeding its CSPRNG.
492 Contrary to getrandom(), the /dev/urandom device will not block during
493 early boot when the kernel CSPRNG has not been seeded yet.
494
495 To mitigate this known weakness, use select() to wait for /dev/random to
496 become readable before reading from /dev/urandom.
497
498 *) Ensure that SM2 only uses SM3 as digest algorithm
499 [Paul Yang]
500
501 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [26 Feb 2019]
502
503 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
504 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
505 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
506 to affine coordinates.
507 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
508
509 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
510 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
511 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
512 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
513 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
514 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
515 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
516 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
517 applications.
518 [Matt Caswell]
519
520 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
521 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
522 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
523 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
524 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
525 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
526
527 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
528 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
529 [Bernd Edlinger]
530
531 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
532 [Richard Levitte]
533
534 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
535 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
536 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
537 [Richard Levitte]
538
539 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
540
541 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
542
543 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
544 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
545 algorithm to recover the private key.
546
547 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
548 (CVE-2018-0734)
549 [Paul Dale]
550
551 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
552
553 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
554 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
555 algorithm to recover the private key.
556
557 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
558 (CVE-2018-0735)
559 [Paul Dale]
560
561 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
562 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
563 are retained for backwards compatibility.
564 [Antoine Salon]
565
566 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
567 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
568 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
569
570 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
571 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
572 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
573 provided by the application.
574
575 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
576
577 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
578 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
579 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
580 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
581 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
582 of the ClientHello
583 [Benjamin Kaduk]
584
585 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
586 [Jack Lloyd]
587
588 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
589 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
590 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
591 [Patrick Steuer]
592
593 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
594 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
595 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
596 [Richard Levitte]
597
598 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
599 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
600 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
601 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
602 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
603 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
604 to work in projective coordinates.
605 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
606
607 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
608 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
609 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
610 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
611 to 2^-128.
612 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
613
614 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
615 [Kurt Roeckx]
616
617 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
618 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
619 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
620 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
621 [Richard Levitte]
622
623 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
624 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
625 [Andy Polyakov]
626
627 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
628 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
629 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
630 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
631 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
632
633 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
634 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
635 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
636 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
637 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
638 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
639
640 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
641 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
642 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
643 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
644 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
645 [Paul Dale]
646
647 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
648 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
649 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
650 authors.
651 [Matt Caswell]
652
653 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
654 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
655 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
656 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
657 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
658 multi-version installation is managed.
659 [Andy Polyakov]
660
661 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
662 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
663 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
664 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
665 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
666 [Billy Bob Brumley]
667
668 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
669 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
670 chosen point SCA attacks.
671 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
672
673 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
674 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
675 [Matt Caswell]
676
677 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
678 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
679 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
680 [Matt Caswell]
681
682 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
683 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
684 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
685 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
686 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
687 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
688 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
689 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
690 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
691 [Kurt Roeckx]
692
693 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
694 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
695 [Richard Levitte]
696
697 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
698 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
699 [Billy Bob Brumley]
700
701 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
702 binary and prime elliptic curves.
703 [Billy Bob Brumley]
704
705 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
706 constant time fixed point multiplication.
707 [Billy Bob Brumley]
708
709 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
710 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
711 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
712 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
713 ECDH derive operations).
714 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
715 Sohaib ul Hassan]
716
717 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
718 [Rich Salz]
719
720 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
721 randomness from the system.
722 [Matthias St. Pierre]
723
724 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
725 [Richard Levitte]
726
727 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
728 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
729 [Matt Caswell]
730
731 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
732 [Matt Caswell]
733
734 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
735 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
736
737 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
738 [Richard Levitte]
739
740 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
741 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
742 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
743 [Matt Caswell]
744
745 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
746 stack.
747 [Rich Salz]
748
749 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
750 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
751 [Bernd Edlinger]
752
753 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
754 [Matt Caswell]
755
756 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
757 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
758 [Matthias St. Pierre]
759
760 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
761 for the license change).
762 [Rich Salz]
763
764 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
765 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
766 [Matt Caswell]
767
768 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
769 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
770 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
771 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
772 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
773 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
774 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
775 [Matt Caswell]
776
777 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
778 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
779 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
780 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
781 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
782 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
783 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
784 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
785 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
786 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
787 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
788 written to stderr.
789 [Viktor Dukhovni]
790
791 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
792 Mike Hamburg.
793 [Matt Caswell]
794
795 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
796 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
797 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
798 get the search data out of them.
799 [Richard Levitte]
800
801 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
802 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
803 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
804 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
805 [Matt Caswell]
806
807 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
808
809 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
810 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
811 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
812 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
813 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
814 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
815
816 Some of its new features are:
817 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
818 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
819 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
820 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
821 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
822 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
823 operation
824 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
825
826 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
827 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
828 to display all sorts of configuration data.
829 [Richard Levitte]
830
831 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
832 [Richard Levitte]
833
834 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
835 [Paul Dale]
836
837 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
838 now been removed.
839 [Rich Salz]
840
841 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
842 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
843 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
844 debug (or make silent).
845 [Richard Levitte]
846
847 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
848 arguments to config / Configure.
849 [Richard Levitte]
850
851 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
852 [Paul Yang]
853
854 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
855 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
856 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
857 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
858
859 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
860 as documented in RFC6066.
861 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
862 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
863
864 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
865 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
866 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
867 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
868
869 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
870 original author does not agree with the license change.
871 [Rich Salz]
872
873 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
874 [Jon Spillett]
875
876 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
877 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
878 [Rich Salz]
879
880 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
881 without clearing the errors.
882 [Richard Levitte]
883
884 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
885 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
886 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
887 [Rich Salz]
888
889 *) Add SHA3.
890 [Andy Polyakov]
891
892 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
893 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
894 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
895 as a fallback).
896
897 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
898 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
899 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
900 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
901 [Richard Levitte]
902
903 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
904 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
905 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
906 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
907 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
908 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
909 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
910 [Richard Levitte]
911
912 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
913 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
914 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
915 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
916 [Richard Levitte]
917
918 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
919 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
920 error code calls like this:
921
922 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
923
924 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
925 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
926 affect new modules.
927 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
928
929 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
930 [Rich Salz]
931
932 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
933 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
934 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
935 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
936 [Richard Levitte]
937
938 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
939 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
940 than just the call where this user data is passed.
941 [Richard Levitte]
942
943 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
944 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
945 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
946
947 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
948 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
949 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
950 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
951 prohibits this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
952 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
953 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause interoperability
954 issues.
955 [Matt Caswell]
956
957 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
958 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
959 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
960 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
961 [Richard Levitte]
962
963 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
964 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
965 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
966
967 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
968 does for RSA, etc.
969 [Richard Levitte]
970
971 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
972 platform rather than 'mingw'.
973 [Richard Levitte]
974
975 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
976 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
977 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
978 certificates and CRLs.
979 [Paul Dale]
980
981 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
982 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
983 [Andy Polyakov]
984
985 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
986 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
987 [Richard Levitte]
988
989 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
990 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
991 which is the minimum version we support.
992 [Richard Levitte]
993
994 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
995 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
996 are no longer allowed.
997 [Emilia Käsper]
998
999 *) Add support for ARIA
1000 [Paul Dale]
1001
1002 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
1003 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
1004 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
1005 using "-servername".
1006 [Matt Caswell]
1007
1008 *) Add support for SipHash
1009 [Todd Short]
1010
1011 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
1012 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
1013 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
1014 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
1015 [Matt Caswell]
1016
1017 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
1018 using the algorithm defined in
1019 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
1020 [Richard Levitte]
1021
1022 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
1023 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
1024
1025 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
1026 [Emilia Käsper]
1027
1028 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
1029 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
1030 [Rich Salz]
1031
1032
1033 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
1034
1035 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
1036
1037 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
1038 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
1039 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
1040 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
1041 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
1042
1043 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
1044 (CVE-2018-0732)
1045 [Guido Vranken]
1046
1047 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
1048
1049 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
1050 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
1051 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
1052 recover the private key.
1053
1054 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
1055 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
1056 (CVE-2018-0737)
1057 [Billy Brumley]
1058
1059 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
1060 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
1061 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
1062 [Richard Levitte]
1063
1064 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
1065 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
1066 [Andy Polyakov]
1067
1068 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
1069 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
1070 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
1071 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
1072 to 2^-128.
1073 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
1074
1075 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
1076 [Kurt Roeckx]
1077
1078 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
1079 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
1080 [Matt Caswell]
1081
1082 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
1083 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
1084 [Richard Levitte]
1085
1086 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
1087 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
1088 are no longer allowed.
1089 [Emilia Käsper]
1090
1091 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
1092
1093 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
1094 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
1095 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
1096 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
1097 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
1098 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
1099 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
1100 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
1101 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
1102 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
1103 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
1104 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
1105 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
1106 [Matt Caswell]
1107
1108 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
1109
1110 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
1111
1112 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
1113 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
1114 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
1115 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
1116 so this is considered safe.
1117
1118 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
1119 project.
1120 (CVE-2018-0739)
1121 [Matt Caswell]
1122
1123 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
1124
1125 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
1126 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
1127 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
1128 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
1129 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
1130 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
1131
1132 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
1133 (IBM).
1134 (CVE-2018-0733)
1135 [Andy Polyakov]
1136
1137 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1138 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1139 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1140 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1141 [Richard Levitte]
1142
1143 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
1144
1145 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
1146 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
1147 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
1148 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
1149 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
1150
1151 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
1152 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
1153 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
1154 [Matt Caswell]
1155
1156 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
1157 exist.
1158 [Rich Salz]
1159
1160 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
1161
1162 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
1163 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
1164 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1165 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1166 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1167 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1168 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1169 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1170 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1171 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1172
1173 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1174 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1175
1176 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1177 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
1178 (CVE-2017-3738)
1179 [Andy Polyakov]
1180
1181 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1182
1183 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1184
1185 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1186 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1187 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1188 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1189 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1190 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1191 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1192 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1193 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1194 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1195 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1196
1197 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1198 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1199
1200 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1201 (CVE-2017-3736)
1202 [Andy Polyakov]
1203
1204 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1205
1206 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1207 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1208 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1209
1210 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1211 (CVE-2017-3735)
1212 [Rich Salz]
1213
1214 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
1215
1216 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1217 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1218 [Richard Levitte]
1219
1220 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1221 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1222 which is the minimum version we support.

1224
1225 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
1226
1227 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1228
1229 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1230 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1231 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1232 and servers are affected.
1233
1234 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
1235 (CVE-2017-3733)

1237
1238 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1239
1240 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1241
1242 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1243 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1244 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1245
1246 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1247 (CVE-2017-3731)
1248 [Andy Polyakov]
1249
1250 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1251
1252 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1253 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1254 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1255 of Service attack.
1256
1257 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1258 (CVE-2017-3730)
1259 [Matt Caswell]
1260
1261 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1262
1263 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1264 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1265 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1266 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1267 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1268 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1269 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1270 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1271 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1272 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1273 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1274 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1275 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1276
1277 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.

1282
1283 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1284
1285 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1286 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1287 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1288
1289 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1290 (CVE-2016-7054)
1291 [Richard Levitte]
1292
1293 *) CMS Null dereference
1294
1295 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1296 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1297 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1298 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1299 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1300 affected.
1301
1302 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1303 (CVE-2016-7053)
1304 [Stephen Henson]
1305
1306 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1307
1308 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1309 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1310 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1311 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1312 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1313 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1314 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1315 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1316 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1317 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1318 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1319 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1320 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1321 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1322
1323 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1324 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1325 providing reproducible case.
1326 (CVE-2016-7055)
1327 [Andy Polyakov]
1328
1329 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1330 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1331 [Richard Levitte]
1332
1333 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1334
1335 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1336
1337 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1338 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1339 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1340 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1341 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1342 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1343
1344 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.

1350 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
1351
1352 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1353
1354 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1355 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1356 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1357 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1358 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1359 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1360 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.

1363 (CVE-2016-6304)
1364 [Matt Caswell]
1365
1366 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1367
1368 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1369 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1370 Denial Of Service attack.
1371
1372 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1373 (CVE-2016-6305)
1374 [Matt Caswell]
1375
1376 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1377 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1378
1379 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1380 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1381 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1382 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1383 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1384 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1385 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1386 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1387 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1388 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1389 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1390 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1391 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1392 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1393 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1394
1395 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1396 that the connection fails
1397 or
1398 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1399 very little free memory
1400 or
1401 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1402 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1403 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1404 memory to service the multiple requests.
1405
1406 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1407 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1408 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1409 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1410 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

1414 [Matt Caswell]
1415
1416 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1417 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1418 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1419 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1420 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1421 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1422 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1423 [Andy Polyakov]
1424
1425 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1426
1427 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1428 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1429 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1430 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1431 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1432 non-ASCII password.
1433 [Andy Polyakov]
1434
1435 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1436 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1437 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1438 [Rich Salz]
1439
1440 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1441 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1442 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1443 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1444 [Matt Caswell]
1445
1446 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1447 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1448 success.
1449 [Matt Caswell]
1450
1451 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1452 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1453 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1454 no-ops and deprecated.
1455 [Matt Caswell]
1456
1457 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1458 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1459 were also closed.
1460 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1461
1462 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1463 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1464 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1465 [Rich Salz]
1466
1467 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1468 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1469 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1470 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1471 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1472 and the validity of object reference counter.
1473 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1474
1475 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1476 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1477 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1478 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1479 [Richard Levitte]
1480
1481 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1482 [Richard Levitte]
1483
1484 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1485 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1486 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1487 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1488
1489 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1490
1491 [Richard Levitte]
1492
1493 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1494 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1495 [Steve Henson]
1496
1497 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1498 [Andy Polyakov]
1499
1500 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1501 [Rich Salz]
1502
1503 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1504 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1505 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1506 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1507 name and is used as is.
1508 [Richard Levitte]
1509
1510 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1511 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1512 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1513 [Rich Salz]
1514
1515 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1516 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1517 [Matt Caswell]
1518
1519 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1520 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1521 algorithms.
1522 [Matt Caswell]
1523
1524 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1525 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1526 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1527 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1528 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1529 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1530 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1531 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1532 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1533 [Matt Caswell]
1534
1535 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1536 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1537 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1538 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1539
1540 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1541 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1542 these have been added.
1543 [Matt Caswell]
1544
1545 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1546 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1547 functions for managing these have been added.
1548 [Richard Levitte]
1549
1550 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1551 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1552 these have been added.
1553 [Matt Caswell]
1554
1555 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1556 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1557 have been added.
1558 [Matt Caswell]
1559
1560 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1561 [Matt Caswell]
1562
1563 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1564 [Richard Levitte]
1565
1566 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1567 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1568 [Rich Salz]
1569
1570 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1571 [Richard Levitte]
1572
1573 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1574 [Rich Salz]
1575
1576 *) Add support for HKDF.
1577 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1578
1579 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1580 [Bill Cox]
1581
1582 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1583 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1584 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1585 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1586 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1587 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1588 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1589 [Matt Caswell]
1590
1591 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1592 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1593 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1594 [Catriona Lucey]
1595
1596 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1597 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1598 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1599 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1600 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1601 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1602 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1603
1604 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1605 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1606 [Todd Short]
1607
1608 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1609 [Todd Short]
1610
1611 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1612 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1613 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1614 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1615 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1616 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1617 default cipherlist.
1618 [Emilia Käsper]
1619
1620 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1621 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1622 [Rich Salz]
1623
1624 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1625 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1626 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1627 [Matt Caswell]
1628
1629 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1630 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1631 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1632 implemented by other servers.
1633 [Emilia Käsper]
1634
1635 *) Add X25519 support.
1636 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1637 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1638 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1639 key generation and key derivation.
1640
1641 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1642 X25519(29).
1643 [Steve Henson]
1644
1645 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1646 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1647 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1648 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1649 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1650
1651 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1652 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1653 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1654 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1655 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1656 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1657 that of a valid user.
1658 [Emilia Käsper]
1659
1660 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1661 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1662 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1663 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1664
1665 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1666 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1667
1668 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1669 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1670 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1671 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1672
1673 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1674 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1675 irrelevant.
1676 [Richard Levitte]
1677
1678 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1679 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1680 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1681 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1682 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1683 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1684
1685 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1686 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1687 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1688 [Richard Levitte]
1689
1690 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1691 [Rich Salz]
1692
1693 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1694 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1695 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1696 removed.
1697 [Richard Levitte]
1698
1699 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1700 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1701 old #define's might need to be updated.
1702 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1703
1704 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1705 [Rich Salz]
1706
1707 *) New "unified" build system
1708
1709 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1710 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1711
1712 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1713 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1714 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1715
1716 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1717 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1718 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1719 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1720 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1721
1722 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1723 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1724 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1725 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1726 libraries" in INSTALL.
1727
1728 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1729 [Richard Levitte]
1730
1731 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1732 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1733 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1734 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1735 [Matt Caswell]
1736
1737 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1738 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1739
1740 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1741 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1742 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1743 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1744 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1745 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1746 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1747 have been adapted accordingly.
1748 [Richard Levitte]
1749
1750 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1751 the leading 0-byte.
1752 [Emilia Käsper]
1753
1754 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1755 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1756 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1757 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1758 [Emilia Käsper]
1759
1760 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1761 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1762 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1763 'unsigned char*'.
1764 [Emilia Käsper]
1765
1766 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1767 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1768 [Emilia Käsper]
1769
1770 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1771 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1772 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1773 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1774 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1775 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1776 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1777
1778 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1779 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1780
1781 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1782 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1783 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1784 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1785 Text::Template.
1786
1787 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1788 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1789 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1790 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1791 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1792 %target).
1793 [Richard Levitte]
1794
1795 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1796 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1797 straightforward and less interdependent.
1798
1799 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1800 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1801 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1802
1803 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1804 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1805 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1806 installed.
1807 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1808 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1809 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1810 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1811
1812 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1813 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1814 [Richard Levitte]
1815
1816 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1817 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1818 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1819 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1820 is present).
1821 [Matt Caswell]
1822
1823 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1824 configuring.
1825 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1826
1827 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1828 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1829 before trying to build now.*
1830 [Rich Salz]
1831
1832 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1833 has changed.
1834 [Rich Salz]
1835
1836 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1837
1838 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1839 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1840 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1841 used to authenticate the peer.
1842
1843 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1844 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1845 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1846 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1847 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1848 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1849
1850 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1851 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1852 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1853 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1854 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1855 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1856
1857 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1858 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1859 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1860 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1861 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1862 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1863 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1864 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1865 version.
1866
1867 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1868 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1869 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1870 compile with later releases.
1871
1872 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1873 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1874 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1875 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1876 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1877 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1878
1879 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1880 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1881 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1882 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1883 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1884 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1885 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1886 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1887 [Kurt Roeckx]
1888
1889 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1890 [Andy Polyakov]
1891
1892 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1893 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1894 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1895 ECDSA_SIG format.
1896
1897 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1898 include the ec.h header file instead.
1899 [Steve Henson]
1900
1901 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1902 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1903 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1904 [Kurt Roeckx]
1905
1906 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1907 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1908 were added:
1909
1910 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1911 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1912
1913 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1914 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1915 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1916
1917 Additional changes:
1918 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1919 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1920 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1921 an already created structure.
1922 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1923 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1924 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1925 for deprecated builds.
1926 [Richard Levitte]
1927
1928 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1929 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1930 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1931 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1932 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1933 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1934 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1935 [Matt Caswell]
1936
1937 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1938 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1939 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1940 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1941 [Kurt Roeckx]
1942
1943 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1944 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1945 [Kurt Roeckx]
1946
1947 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1948 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1949 [Kurt Roeckx]
1950
1951 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1952 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1953 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1954 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1955 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1956 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1957 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1958 also been removed.
1959 [Matt Caswell]
1960
1961 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1962 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1963 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1964 [Rich Salz]
1965
1966 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1967 [Rich Salz]
1968
1969 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1970 sureware and ubsec.
1971 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1972
1973 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1974
1975 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1976 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1977
1978 FOO *x;
1979
1980 it must be:
1981
1982 FOO x;
1983
1984 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1985 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1986
1987 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1988 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1989 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1990 SEQUENCE OF.
1991 [Steve Henson]
1992
1993 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1994 [Emilia Käsper]
1995
1996 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1997 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1998 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1999 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
2000 [Matt Caswell]
2001
2002 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2003 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2004 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2005 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
2006 [Emilia Käsper]
2007
2008 *) Fix no-stdio build.
2009 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
2010 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
2011
2012 *) New testing framework
2013 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
2014 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
2015 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
2016 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
2017 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
2018 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
2019
2020 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
2021
2022 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
2023 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
2024
2025 [Richard Levitte]
2026
2027 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
2028 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
2029 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
2030 and others were changed. All are now documented.
2031 [Rich Salz]
2032
2033 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
2034 return an error
2035 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
2036
2037 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
2038 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
2039
2040 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
2041 original RSA_PSK patch.
2042 [Steve Henson]
2043
2044 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
2045 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
2046 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
2047 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
2048 [Matt Caswell]
2049
2050 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
2051 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
2052 [Richard Levitte]
2053
2054 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
2055 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
2056 hasn't been working properly for a while.
2057 [Emilia Käsper]
2058
2059 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
2060 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
2061 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
2062 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
2063 transferred.
2064 [Matt Caswell]
2065
2066 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
2067 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
2068 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
2069 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
2070 [Matt Caswell]
2071
2072 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
2073 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
2074 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
2075 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
2076 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
2077 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
2078 [Matt Caswell]
2079
2080 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
2081 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
2082 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
2083 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
2084 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
2085 header file has been removed.
2086 [Matt Caswell]
2087
2088 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
2089 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
2090 [Matt Caswell]
2091
2092 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
2093 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
2094 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
2095
2096 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
2097 Added a test.
2098 [Rich Salz]
2099
2100 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
2101 [Rich Salz]
2102
2103 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
2104 sha256
2105 [Rich Salz]
2106
2107 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
2108 [Matt Caswell]
2109
2110 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
2111 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
2112 initial patch which was a great help during development.
2113 [Steve Henson]
2114
2115 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
2116 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
2117 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
2118 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
2119 [Matt Caswell]
2120
2121 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
2122 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
2123 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
2124 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
2125 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
2126 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
2127 [Matt Caswell]
2128
2129 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
2130 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
2131 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
2132 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
2133 [Matt Caswell]
2134
2135 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
2136 compatible client hello.
2137 [Kurt Roeckx]
2138
2139 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
2140 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
2141 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
2142
2143 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
2144 [Rich Salz]
2145
2146 *) Removed old DES API.
2147 [Rich Salz]
2148
2149 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
2150 Sony NEWS4
2151 BEOS and BEOS_R5
2152 NeXT
2153 SUNOS
2154 MPE/iX
2155 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
2156 DGUX
2157 NCR
2158 Tandem
2159 Cray
2160 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
2161 [Rich Salz]
2162
2163 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
2164 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2165 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2166 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2167 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2168 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2169 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2170 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
2171 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
2172 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2173 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2174 [Rich Salz]
2175
2176 *) Cleaned up dead code
2177 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2178 [Rich Salz]
2179
2180 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2181 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2182 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2183 [Rich Salz]
2184
2185 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2186 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2187 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2188 [Rich Salz]
2189
2190 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2191 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2192 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
2193
2194 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2195 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2196 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
2197
2198 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2199 compilation flags.
2200 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2201
2202 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2203 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2204 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2205
2206 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2207 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2208
2209 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2210 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2211 server.
2212
2213 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2214 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2215 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2216 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2217
2218 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2219 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2220 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2221 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2222
2223 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2224 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2225 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2226
2227 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2228 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2229 [Steve Henson]
2230
2231 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2232
2233 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2234 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2235
2236 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2237 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2238
2239 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2240 effect.
2241
2242 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2243
2244 [Steve Henson]
2245
2246 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2247 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2248 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2249 algorithms and include tests cases.
2250 [Steve Henson]
2251
2252 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2253 enveloped data.
2254 [Steve Henson]
2255
2256 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2257 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2258 [Steve Henson]
2259
2260 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2261 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2262
2263 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2264 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2265 [Steve Henson]
2266
2267 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2268 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2269 failures.
2270 [Steve Henson]
2271
2272 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2273 sign or verify all in one operation.
2274 [Steve Henson]
2275
2276 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2277 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2278 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2279 [Steve Henson]
2280
2281 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2282 [Steve Henson]
2283
2284 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2285 [Steve Henson]
2286
2287 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2288 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2289 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2290 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2291 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2292 [Steve Henson]
2293
2294 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2295 based on NID.
2296 [Steve Henson]
2297
2298 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2299 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2300 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2301 [Steve Henson]
2302
2303 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2304 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2305
2306 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2307 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2308 [Steve Henson]
2309
2310 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2311 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2312 [Steve Henson]
2313
2314 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2315 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2316 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2317 [Steve Henson]
2318
2319 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2320 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2321 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2322 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2323 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2324 requested amount of entropy.
2325 [Steve Henson]
2326
2327 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2328 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2329 [Steve Henson]
2330
2331 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2332 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2333 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2334 support.
2335 [Steve Henson]
2336
2337 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2338 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2339 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2340 [Steve Henson]
2341
2342 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2343 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2344 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2345 will never use XTS mode.
2346 [Steve Henson]
2347
2348 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2349 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2350 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2351 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2352 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2353 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2354 [Steve Henson]
2355
2356 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2357 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2358 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2359 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2360 [Steve Henson]
2361
2362 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2363 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2364 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2365 [Steve Henson]
2366
2367 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2368 [Steve Henson]
2369
2370 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2371 [Steve Henson]
2372
2373 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2374 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2375 [Steve Henson]
2376
2377 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2378 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2379 [Steve Henson]
2380
2381 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2382 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2383 [Steve Henson]
2384
2385 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2386 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2387 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2388 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2389 and rename any affected symbols.
2390 [Steve Henson]
2391
2392 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2393 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2394 [Steve Henson]
2395
2396 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2397 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2398 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2399 [Steve Henson]
2400
2401 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2402 [Steve Henson]
2403
2404 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2405 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2406 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2407 [Steve Henson]
2408
2409 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2410 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2411 [Steve Henson]
2412
2413 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2414 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2415 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2416 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2417 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2418 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2419 set before the key.
2420 [Steve Henson]
2421
2422 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2423 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2424 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2425 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2426 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2427 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2428 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2429 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2430 [Steve Henson]
2431
2432 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2433 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2434 [Steve Henson]
2435
2436 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2437
2438 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2439 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2440
2441 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2442 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2443 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2444 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2445 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2446 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2447
2448 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2449 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2450 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2451 security.

2493
2494 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2495 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2496 AES-NI.
2497
2498 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2499 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2500 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2501 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2502 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2503 bytes.

2506 (CVE-2016-2107)
2507 [Kurt Roeckx]
2508
2509 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2510
2511 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2512 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2513 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2514 corruption.
2515
2516 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2517 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2518 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2519 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2520 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2521 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2522
2523 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2524 (CVE-2016-2105)
2525 [Matt Caswell]
2526
2527 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2528
2529 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2530 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2531 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2532 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2533 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2534 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2535 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2536 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2537 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2538 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2539 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2540 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2541 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2542 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2543 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2544 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

2550 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation

2552 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2553 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2554 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2555
2556 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2557 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2558 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2559 applications are not affected.

2590 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2591 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2592 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2593
2594 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2595 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2596 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2597 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2598 will need to explicitly call either of:
2599
2600 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2601 or
2602 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2603
2604 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2605 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2606 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2607 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2608 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.

2613
2614 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2615 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2616 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2617 considered rare.

2625
2626 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2627
2628 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2629 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2630 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2631 is configured.
2632
2633 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2634 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2635 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2636 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2637 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2638 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2639 that of a valid user.
2640 (CVE-2016-0798)
2641 [Emilia Käsper]
2642
2643 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2644
2645 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2646 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2647 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2648 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2649 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2650 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2651 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2652 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2653 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2654 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2655 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2656
2657 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2658 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2659 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2660 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2661 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2662
2663 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2664 (CVE-2016-0797)
2665 [Matt Caswell]
2666
2667 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2668
2669 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2670 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2671 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2672
2673 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2674 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2675 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2676 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2677 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2678 also occur.
2679
2680 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2681 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2682 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2683 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2684 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2685 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2686 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2687 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2688 as command line arguments.
2689
2690 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2691 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2692 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

2696 [Matt Caswell]
2697
2698 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2699
2700 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2701 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2702 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2703 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2704 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2705
2706 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of

2716 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

2718
2719 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2720 *) DH small subgroups
2721
2722 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2723 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2724 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2725 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2726 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2727 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2728 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2729 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2730 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2731 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2732
2733 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2734 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2735 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2736 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2737 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2738
2739 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2740 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2741 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2742 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2743
2744 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2745 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2746
2747 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).

2750
2751 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2752
2753 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2754 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2755 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2756 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2764
2765 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2766
2767 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2768 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2769 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2770 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2771 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2772 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2773 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2774 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2775 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2776 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2777 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2778 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2785
2786 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2787 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2788 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2789 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2790 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a

2824
2825 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2826 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2827 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2828 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2829 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2830 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2847 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2848 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2849 field.
2850
2851 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2852 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2853 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2854 client authentication enabled.

2864 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2865 time string.
2866
2867 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2868 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2869 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2870 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client

2925 University.
2926 (CVE-2015-0291)
2927 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2928
2929 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2930
2931 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2932 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2933 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2934 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2935 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2936 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2937 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2938 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2939
2940 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2941 (CVE-2015-0290)
2942 [Matt Caswell]
2943
2944 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2945
2946 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2947 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2948 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2949 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2950 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2951 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2952 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2953 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2954 server.
2955
2956 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2957 (CVE-2015-0207)
2958 [Matt Caswell]
2959
2960 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2961
2962 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2963 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2964 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2965 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2966 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2967 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2968 (CVE-2015-0286)
2969 [Stephen Henson]
2970
2971 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2972
2973 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2974 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2975 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2976 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2977 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2978 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2979 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2980
2981 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2982 (CVE-2015-0208)
2983 [Stephen Henson]
2984
2985 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2986
2987 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2988 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2989 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2990
2991 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2992 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2993 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2994 not affected.
2995 (CVE-2015-0287)
2996 [Stephen Henson]
2997
2998 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2999
3000 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
3001 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
3002 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
3003
3004 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
3005 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
3006 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
3007
3008 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
3009 (CVE-2015-0289)
3010 [Emilia Käsper]
3011
3012 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
3013
3014 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
3015 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
3016 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
3017
3018 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
3019 (OpenSSL development team).
3020 (CVE-2015-0293)
3021 [Emilia Käsper]
3022
3023 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
3024
3025 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
3026 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
3027 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
3028 (CVE-2015-1787)
3029 [Matt Caswell]
3030
3031 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
3032
3033 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
3034 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
3035 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
3036 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
3037 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
3038 SSL_client_methodv23)
3039 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
3040 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
3041
3042 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
3043 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
3044 output may be predictable.
3045
3046 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
3047 succeed on an unpatched platform:
3048
3049 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
3050 (CVE-2015-0285)
3051 [Matt Caswell]
3052
3053 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
3054
3055 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
3056 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
3057 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
3058 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
3059 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
3060 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
3061
3062 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
3063 commit 517073cd4b.
3064 (CVE-2015-0209)
3065 [Matt Caswell]
3066
3067 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
3068
3069 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
3070 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
3071
3072 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
3073 (CVE-2015-0288)
3074 [Stephen Henson]
3075
3076 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
3077 [Kurt Roeckx]
3078
3079 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
3080
3081 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
3082 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
3083 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
3084 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
3085 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
3086 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
3087 [Andy Polyakov]
3088
3089 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
3090 (other platforms pending).
3091 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
3092
3093 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
3094 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
3095 [Rob Stradling]
3096
3097 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3098 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3099 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3100 [Bodo Moeller]
3101
3102 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
3103 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
3104 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
3105 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
3106 [Andy Polyakov]
3107
3108 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
3109 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
3110
3111 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
3112 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
3113 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
3114 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
3115 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
3116
3117 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
3118 [Andy Polyakov]
3119
3120 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
3121 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
3122 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
3123 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
3124
3125 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
3126 RSAZ.
3127 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
3128
3129 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
3130 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
3131 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
3132 for TLS encrypt.
3133
3134 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
3135 [Andy Polyakov]
3136
3137 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
3138 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
3139 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
3140 [Steve Henson]
3141
3142 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
3143 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
3144 [Steve Henson]
3145
3146 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3147 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3148 [Steve Henson]
3149
3150 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3151 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3152 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3153 algorithms and include tests cases.
3154 [Steve Henson]
3155
3156 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
3157 structure.
3158 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
3159
3160 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
3161 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
3162 [Steve Henson]
3163
3164 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
3165 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
3166 summary of the connection parameters.
3167 [Steve Henson]
3168
3169 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
3170 of connection parameters.
3171 [Steve Henson]
3172
3173 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
3174 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
3175
3176 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
3177 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
3178 [Steve Henson]
3179
3180 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
3184 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
3185 [Steve Henson]
3186
3187 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
3188 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
3189 [Steve Henson]
3190
3191 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
3192 certificates.
3193 [Steve Henson]
3194
3195 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
3196 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
3197 CRLs using the OCSP API.
3198 [Steve Henson]
3199
3200 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
3201 [Steve Henson]
3202
3203 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
3204 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
3205 [Steve Henson]
3206
3207 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
3208 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
3209 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
3210 tracing.
3211 [Steve Henson]
3212
3213 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
3214 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
3215 [Steve Henson]
3216
3217 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
3218 OID NID.
3219 [Steve Henson]
3220
3221 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
3222 client to OpenSSL.
3223 [Steve Henson]
3224
3225 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3226 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3227 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3228 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3229 [Steve Henson]
3230
3231 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3232 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3233 [Steve Henson]
3234
3235 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3236 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3237 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3238 comparison.
3239 [Steve Henson]
3240
3241 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3242 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3243 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3244 use the certificate.
3245 [Steve Henson]
3246
3247 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3248 [Steve Henson]
3249
3250 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3251 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3252 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3253 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3254 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3255 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3256 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3257
3258 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3259 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3260
3261 [Steve Henson]
3262
3263 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3264 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3265 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3266 [Steve Henson]
3267
3268 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3269 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3270 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3271 supported signature algorithms.
3272 [Steve Henson]
3273
3274 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3275 [Steve Henson]
3276
3277 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3278 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3279 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3280 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3281 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3282 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3283 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3284 [Steve Henson]
3285
3286 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3287 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3288 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3289 to have similar checks in it.
3290
3291 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3292 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3293 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3294 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3295 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3296 [Steve Henson]
3297
3298 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3299 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3300 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3301 shared signature algorithms.
3302 [Steve Henson]
3303
3304 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3305 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3306 to support them.
3307 [Steve Henson]
3308
3309 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3310 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3311 it couldn't be removed.
3312 [Steve Henson]
3313
3314 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3315 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3316 [Steve Henson]
3317
3318 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3319 functions. Add manual page.
3320 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3321
3322 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3323 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3324 a certificate.
3325 [Steve Henson]
3326
3327 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3328 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3329
3330 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3331 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3332 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3333 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3334 utility) or reject.
3335 [Steve Henson]
3336
3337 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3338 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3339 [Steve Henson]
3340
3341 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3342 platform support for Linux and Android.
3343 [Andy Polyakov]
3344
3345 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3346 [Andy Polyakov]
3347
3348 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3349 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3350 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3351 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3352 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3353 [Steve Henson]
3354
3355 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3356 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3357 the new parameter format automatically.
3358 [Steve Henson]
3359
3360 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3361 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3362 [Steve Henson]
3363
3364 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3365 [Steve Henson]
3366
3367 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3368 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3369 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3370 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3371 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3372 [Steve Henson]
3373
3374 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3375 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3376 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3377 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3378 to set list of supported curves.
3379 [Steve Henson]
3380
3381 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3382 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3383 to print out received values.
3384 [Steve Henson]
3385
3386 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3387 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3388 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3389 [Steve Henson]
3390
3391 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3392 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3393 [Steve Henson]
3394
3395 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3396 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3397 [Steve Henson]
3398
3399 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3400 certificates.
3401 [Steve Henson]
3402
3403 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3404 the certificate.
3405 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3406 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3407 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3408
3409 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3410
3411 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3412 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3413
3414 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3415
3416 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3417 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3418 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3419 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3420 (CVE-2014-3571)
3421 [Steve Henson]
3422
3423 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3424 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3425 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3426 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3427 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3428 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.

3432 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3433 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3434 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3435 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3436 (CVE-2014-3569)
3437 [Kurt Roeckx]
3438
3439 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3440 ECDH ciphersuites.
3441
3442 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3443 reporting this issue.
3444 (CVE-2014-3572)
3445 [Steve Henson]
3446
3447 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3448 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3449 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3450 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3451 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3452 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3453 (CVE-2015-0204)
3454 [Steve Henson]
3455
3456 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3457 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3458 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3459 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3460 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3461 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3462 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3463 this issue.
3464 (CVE-2015-0205)
3465 [Steve Henson]
3466
3467 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3468 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3469
3470 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3471 and can vary with the CTX.
3472 [Adam Langley]
3473
3474 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3475
3476 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3477 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3478 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3479 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3480 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3481
3482 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3483
3484 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3485 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3486
3487 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3488
3489 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3490 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3491 errors for some broken certificates.
3492
3493 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3494
3495 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3496
3497 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3498 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3499
3500 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3501 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3502 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3503 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3504
3505 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3506 of the OpenSSL core team.
3507
3508 (CVE-2014-8275)
3509 [Steve Henson]
3510
3511 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3512 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3513 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3514 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3515 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3516 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3517 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3518 the OpenSSL core team.
3519 (CVE-2014-3570)
3520 [Andy Polyakov]
3521
3522 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3523 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3524 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3525 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3526 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3527
3528 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3529 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3530 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3531 [Emilia Käsper]
3532
3533 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3534 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3535 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3536 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3537 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3538
3539 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3540 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3541 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3542 [Emilia Käsper]
3543
3544 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3545
3546 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3547
3548 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3549 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3550 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3551 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3552 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3553 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3554 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3555
3556 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3557 (CVE-2014-3513)
3558 [OpenSSL team]
3559
3560 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3561
3562 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3563 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3564 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3565 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3566 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3567 attack.
3568 (CVE-2014-3567)
3569 [Steve Henson]
3570
3571 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3572
3573 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3574 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3575 configured to send them.
3576 (CVE-2014-3568)
3577 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3578
3579 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3580 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3581 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3582 (CVE-2014-3566)
3583 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3584
3585 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3586
3587 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3588 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3589 DigestInfo structures.
3590
3591 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3592
3593 [Steve Henson]
3594
3595 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3596
3597 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3598 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3599 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3600
3601 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3602 Group for discovering this issue.
3603 (CVE-2014-3512)
3604 [Steve Henson]
3605
3606 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3607 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3608 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3609 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3610 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3611
3612 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3613 researching this issue.
3614 (CVE-2014-3511)
3615 [David Benjamin]
3616
3617 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3618 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3619 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3620 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3621
3622 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3623 issue.
3624 (CVE-2014-3510)
3625 [Emilia Käsper]
3626
3627 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3628 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3629 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3630 (CVE-2014-3507)
3631 [Adam Langley]
3632
3633 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3634 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3635 Denial of Service attack.
3636 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3637 (CVE-2014-3506)
3638 [Adam Langley]
3639
3640 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3641 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3642 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3643 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3644 this issue.
3645 (CVE-2014-3505)
3646 [Adam Langley]
3647
3648 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3649 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3650 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3651
3652 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3653 issue.
3654 (CVE-2014-3509)
3655 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3656
3657 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3658 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3659 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3660 Denial of Service attack.
3661
3662 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3663 discovering and researching this issue.
3664 (CVE-2014-5139)
3665 [Steve Henson]
3666
3667 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3668 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3669 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3670 output to the attacker.
3671
3672 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3673 (CVE-2014-3508)
3674 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3675
3676 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3677 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3678 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3679 [Bodo Moeller]
3680
3681 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3682
3683 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3684 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3685 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3686
3687 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3688 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3689 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3690
3691 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3692 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3693 in a DoS attack.
3694
3695 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3696 (CVE-2014-0221)
3697 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3698
3699 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3700 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3701 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3702 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3703
3704 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3705 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3706
3707 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3708 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3709
3710 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3711 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3712 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3713
3714 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3715 compilation flags.
3716 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3717
3718 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3719 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3720 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3721
3722 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3723 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3724
3725 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3726
3727 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3728 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3729 server.
3730
3731 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3732 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3733 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3734 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3735
3736 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3737 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3738 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3739 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3740
3741 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3742 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3743 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3744
3745 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3746
3747 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3748 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3749 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3750 is at least 512 bytes long.
3751
3752 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3753
3754 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3755
3756 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3757 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3758 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3759 (CVE-2013-4353)
3760
3761 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3762 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3763 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3764 [Steve Henson]
3765
3766 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3767 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3768 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3769 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3770 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3771 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3772 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3773
3774 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3775
3776 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3777 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3778 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3779
3780 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3781
3782 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3783
3784 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3785 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3786 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3787
3788 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information

3790 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3791 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3792 (CVE-2013-0169)
3793 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3794
3795 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3796 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3797 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3798 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger

3800 (CVE-2012-2686)
3801 [Adam Langley]
3802
3803 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3804 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3805 [Steve Henson]
3806
3807 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3808 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3809
3810 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3811 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3812 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3813 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3814 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3815
3816 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3817 [Steve Henson]
3818
3819 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3820 if renegotiating.
3821 [Steve Henson]
3822
3823 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3824
3825 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3826 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3827
3828 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3829 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3830 (CVE-2012-2333)
3831 [Steve Henson]
3832
3833 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3834 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3835 [Steve Henson]
3836
3837 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3838 approved.
3839 [Steve Henson]
3840
3841 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3842
3843 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3844 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3845 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3846 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3847 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3848 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3849 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3850 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3851 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3852 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3853 [Steve Henson]
3854
3855 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3856 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3857 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3858 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3859 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3860 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3861 client side.
3862 [Andy Polyakov]
3863
3864 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3865
3866 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3867 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3868 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3869
3870 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3871 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3872 (CVE-2012-2110)
3873 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3874
3875 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3876 [Adam Langley]
3877
3878 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3879 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3880
3881 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3882 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3883 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3884 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3885 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3886 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3887 Most broken servers should now work.
3888 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3889 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3890 [Steve Henson]
3891
3892 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3893 [Andy Polyakov]
3894
3895 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3896
3897 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3898 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3899 [Steve Henson]
3900
3901 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3902 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3903 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3904 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3905 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3906 [Steve Henson]
3907
3908 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3909 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3910 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3911 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3912 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3913 [Steve Henson]
3914
3915 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3916 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3917
3918 *) Add support for SCTP.
3919 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3920
3921 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3922 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3923
3924 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3925
3926 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3927 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3928 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3929 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3930 - s390x: z196 support;
3931 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3932
3933 [Andy Polyakov]
3934
3935 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3936 (removal of unnecessary code)
3937 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3938
3939 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3940 [Eric Rescorla]
3941
3942 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3943 [Eric Rescorla]
3944
3945 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3946 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3947 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3948 by Google.
3949 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3950
3951 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3952 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3953 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3954 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3955 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3956
3957 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3958 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3959 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3960
3961 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3962 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3963 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3964
3965 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3966 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3967 implementations).
3968 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3969
3970 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instead of ssize_t which isn't available on
3971 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3972 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3973 [Steve Henson]
3974
3975 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3976 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3977 particular PSS.
3978 [Steve Henson]
3979
3980 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3981 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3982 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3983 [Steve Henson]
3984
3985 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3986 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3987 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3988 the appropriate parameters.
3989 [Steve Henson]
3990
3991 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3992 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3993 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3994 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3995 against a number of sample certificates.
3996 [Steve Henson]
3997
3998 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3999 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
4000
4001 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
4002 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
4003
4004 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
4005 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
4006 parameters r, s.
4007 [Steve Henson]
4008
4009 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
4010 RFC3211.
4011 [Steve Henson]
4012
4013 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
4014 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
4015 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
4016 password based CMS).
4017 [Steve Henson]
4018
4019 *) Session-handling fixes:
4020 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
4021 but also support Session Tickets.
4022 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
4023 presented a ticket with an expired session.
4024 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
4025 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
4026 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
4027 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4028
4029 *) Fix PSK session representation.
4030 [Bodo Moeller]
4031
4032 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
4033
4034 This work was sponsored by Intel.
4035 [Andy Polyakov]
4036
4037 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
4038 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
4039 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
4040 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
4041 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
4042 [Steve Henson]
4043
4044 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
4045 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
4046 [Steve Henson]
4047
4048 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
4049 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
4050 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
4051 [Steve Henson]
4052
4053 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
4054 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
4055 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
4056 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
4057 [Steve Henson]
4058
4059 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
4060 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
4061 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
4062 [Steve Henson]
4063
4064 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
4065 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
4066
4067 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
4068 [Steve Henson]
4069
4070 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
4071 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
4072 [Steve Henson]
4073
4074 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
4075 [Steve Henson]
4076
4077 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
4078 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
4079 [Steve Henson]
4080
4081 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
4082 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
4083 [Steve Henson]
4084
4085 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
4086 [Steve Henson]
4087
4088 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
4089 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
4090 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
4091 [Steve Henson]
4092
4093 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4094 [Steve Henson]
4095
4096 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4097 [Steve Henson]
4098
4099 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
4100 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
4101 [Steve Henson]
4102
4103 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
4104 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
4105 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
4106 [Steve Henson]
4107
4108 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
4109 [Steve Henson]
4110
4111 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
4112 and enable MD5.
4113 [Steve Henson]
4114
4115 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
4116 FIPS modules versions.
4117 [Steve Henson]
4118
4119 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
4120 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
4121 until after the certificate request message is received.
4122 [Steve Henson]
4123
4124 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
4125 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
4126 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
4127 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
4128 [Steve Henson]
4129
4130 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
4131 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
4132 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
4133 support yet and no support for client certificates.
4134 [Steve Henson]
4135
4136 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
4137 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
4138 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
4139 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
4140 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
4141 and version checking.
4142 [Steve Henson]
4143
4144 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
4145 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
4146 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
4147 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
4148 [Steve Henson]
4149
4150 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
4151 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
4152 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
4153 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
4154 Ben Laurie]
4155
4156 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
4157 [Steve Henson]
4158
4159 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
4160 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
4161 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
4162
4163 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
4164 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4165 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4166 [Steve Henson]
4167
4168 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4169 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
4170
4171 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4172 a few changes are required:
4173
4174 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4175 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4176 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4177 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4178 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4179 [Steve Henson]
4180
4181 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4182
4183 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4184 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4185 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4186 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4187 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4188 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4189 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4190 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
4191 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4192 [Steve Henson]
4193
4194 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4195 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4196 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
4197 [Steve Henson]
4198
4199 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4200
4201 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4202 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4203 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4204 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4205 [Antonio Martin]
4206
4207 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4208
4209 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4210 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4211 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4212 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4213 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4214 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4215 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4216 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4217 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4218 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4219 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
4220 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4221 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4222
4223 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4224 (CVE-2011-4576)
4225 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4226
4227 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4228 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
4229 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4230 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4231
4232 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4233 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4234
4235 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4236 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4237 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4238 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4239
4240 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4241 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4242
4243 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4244 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4245
4246 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4247 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4248
4249 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4250 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4251 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4252
4253 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4254 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4255 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4256
4257 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4258 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4259 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4260 the last update always remained unused).
4261 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4262
4263 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4264 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4265
4266 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4267
4268 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4269 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4270 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4271
4272 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4273 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4274 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4275
4276 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4277 [Bodo Moeller]
4278
4279 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4280 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4281 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4282 [Steve Henson]
4283
4284 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4285 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4286
4287 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4288
4289 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4290
4291 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4292
4293 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4294 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4295
4296 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4297 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4298 ambiguous.
4299 [Steve Henson]
4300
4301 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4302
4303 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4304 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4305 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4306 [Steve Henson]
4307
4308 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4309 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4310 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4311 [Ben Laurie]
4312
4313 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4314
4315 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4316 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4317 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4318 [Steve Henson]
4319
4320 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4321 a DLL.
4322 [Steve Henson]
4323
4324 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4325
4326 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4327 (CVE-2010-1633)
4328 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4329
4330 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4331
4332 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4333 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4334 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4335 [Steve Henson]
4336
4337 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4338 [Steve Henson]
4339
4340 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4341 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4342 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4343
4344 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4345 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4346 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4347 [Steve Henson]
4348
4349 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4350 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4351 [Steve Henson]
4352
4353 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4354 some responders need this.
4355 [Steve Henson]
4356
4357 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4358 correctly.
4359 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4360
4361 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4362 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4363 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4364 [Steve Henson]
4365
4366 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4367 [Steve Henson]
4368
4369 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4370 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4371 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4372 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4373 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4374 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4375 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4376 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4377 [Steve Henson]
4378
4379 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4380 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4381 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4382 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4383
4384 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4385 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4386
4387 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4388 be used on C++.
4389 [Steve Henson]
4390
4391 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4392 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4393 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4394 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4395 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4396 attempting to work them out.
4397 [Steve Henson]
4398
4399 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4400 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4401 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4402 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4403 [Steve Henson]
4404
4405 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4406 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4407 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4408 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4409 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4410 [Steve Henson]
4411
4412 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4413 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4414 you can do:
4415
4416 openssl sha256 foo
4417
4418 as well as:
4419
4420 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4421
4422 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4423
4424 [Steve Henson]
4425
4426 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4427 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4428
4429 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4430 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4431
4432 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4433 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4434 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4435 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4436 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4437 [Steve Henson]
4438
4439 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4440 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4441 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4442 [Steve Henson]
4443
4444 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4445 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4446 [Steve Henson]
4447
4448 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4449 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4450
4451 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4452 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4453 [Steve Henson]
4454
4455 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4456 [Ben Laurie]
4457
4458 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4459 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4460 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4461 CONF_VALUE.
4462 [Ben Laurie]
4463
4464 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4465 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4466 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4467 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4468 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4469 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4470 [Steve Henson]
4471
4472 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4473 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4474
4475 This work was sponsored by Google.
4476 [Steve Henson]
4477
4478 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4479 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4480 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4481 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4482 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4483 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4484 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4485 default.
4486
4487 This work was sponsored by Google.
4488 [Steve Henson]
4489
4490 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4491
4492 This work was sponsored by Google.
4493 [Steve Henson]
4494
4495 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4496 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4497 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4498 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4499
4500 This work was sponsored by Google.
4501 [Steve Henson]
4502
4503 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4504 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4505 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4506 CRL functionality in future.
4507
4508 This work was sponsored by Google.
4509 [Steve Henson]
4510
4511 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4512
4513 This work was sponsored by Google.
4514 [Steve Henson]
4515
4516 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4517 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4518
4519 This work was sponsored by Google.
4520 [Steve Henson]
4521
4522 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4523 and URI types are currently supported.
4524
4525 This work was sponsored by Google.
4526 [Steve Henson]
4527
4528 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4529 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4530 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4531 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4532 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4533 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4534 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4535 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4536
4537 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4538 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4539 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4540
4541 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4542 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4543 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4544 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4545
4546 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4547 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4548 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4549 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4550 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4551 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4552 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4553 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4554 of &errno.)
4555 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4556
4557 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4558 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4559 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4560
4561 This work was sponsored by Google.
4562 [Steve Henson]
4563
4564 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4565 [Ben Laurie]
4566
4567 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4568 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4569 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4570 [Ben Laurie]
4571
4572 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4573 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4574 [Nick Mathewson]
4575
4576 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4577 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4578 [Ben Laurie]
4579
4580 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4581 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4582 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4583 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4584 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4585 content types and variants.
4586 [Steve Henson]
4587
4588 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4589 [Steve Henson]
4590
4591 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4592 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4593 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4594 files from the associated perl scripts.
4595 [Steve Henson]
4596
4597 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4598 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4599 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4600
4601 *) s390x assembler pack.
4602 [Andy Polyakov]
4603
4604 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4605 "family."
4606 [Andy Polyakov]
4607
4608 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4609 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4610 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4611 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4612 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4613 to use. For example, specify an option
4614
4615 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4616
4617 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4618 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4619 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4620 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4621 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4622 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4623
4624 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4625 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4626 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4627 return non-zero for success.
4628
4629 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4630 by using
4631
4632 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4633 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4634
4635 where
4636
4637 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4638 void *arg;
4639
4640 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4641 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4642 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4643 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4644 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4645 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4646 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4647 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4648 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4649
4650 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4651 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4652 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4653 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4654 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4655 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4656
4657 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4658 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4659 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4660 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4661 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4662 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4663
4664 [Bodo Moeller]
4665
4666 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4667 MAC.
4668
4669 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4670
4671 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4672 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4673 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4674 supported.
4675
4676 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4677 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4678 SSL_SESSION.
4679
4680 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4681 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4682 with no application modification.
4683
4684 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4685 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4686
4687 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4688 or server extensions to be examined.
4689
4690 This work was sponsored by Google.
4691 [Steve Henson]
4692
4693 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4694 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4695 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4696
4697 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4698 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4699 ciphersuite support.
4700 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4701
4702 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4703 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4704 to output in BER and PEM format.
4705 [Steve Henson]
4706
4707 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4708 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4709 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4710 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4711 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4712 [Steve Henson]
4713
4714 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4715 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4716 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4717 utility.
4718 [Steve Henson]
4719
4720 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4721 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4722 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4723 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4724 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4725 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4726 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4727 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4728 enabled again.
4729
4730 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4731 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4732 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4733 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4734
4735 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4736 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4737 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4738 the default order.
4739 [Bodo Moeller]
4740
4741 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4742 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4743 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4744 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4745 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4746 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4747 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4748 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4749 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4750
4751 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4752 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4753 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4754 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4755 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4756 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4757 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4758 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4759 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4760 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4761 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4762 kinds of kludges.
4763
4764 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4765 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4766 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4767
4768 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4769 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4770 "CAMELLIA256".
4771 [Bodo Moeller]
4772
4773 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4774 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4775 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4776 [Nils Larsch]
4777
4778 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4779 it yet and it is largely untested.
4780 [Steve Henson]
4781
4782 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4783 [Nils Larsch]
4784
4785 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4786 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4787 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4788 [Steve Henson]
4789
4790 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4791 [Andy Polyakov]
4792
4793 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4794 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4795 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4796 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4797 [Steve Henson]
4798
4799 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4800 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4801 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4802 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4803 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4804 [Steve Henson]
4805
4806 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4807 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4808 [Cryptocom]
4809
4810 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4811 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4812 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4813 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4814 [Steve Henson]
4815
4816 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4817 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4818 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4819 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4820 [Steve Henson]
4821
4822 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4823 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4824 [Steve Henson]
4825
4826 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4827 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4828 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4829 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4830 [Steve Henson]
4831
4832 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4833 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4834 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4835 [Steve Henson]
4836
4837 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4838 utility.
4839 [Steve Henson]
4840
4841 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4842 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4843 [Steve Henson]
4844
4845 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4846 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4847 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4848 if necessary.
4849 [Steve Henson]
4850
4851 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4852 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4853 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4854 [Steve Henson]
4855
4856 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4857 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4858 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4859 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4860 [Steve Henson]
4861
4862 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4863 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4864 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4865 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4866 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4867 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4868 [Douglas Stebila]
4869
4870 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4871 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4872 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4873 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4874 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4875
4876 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4877 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4878 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4879 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4880 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4881 protocol).
4882
4883 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4884 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4885 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4886 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4887
4888 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4889 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4890 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4891 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4892 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4893
4894 aECDH - ECDH cert
4895 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4896 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4897
4898 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4899 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4900
4901 [Bodo Moeller]
4902
4903 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4904 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4905 [Steve Henson]
4906
4907 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4908 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4909 [Steve Henson]
4910
4911 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4912 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4913 functional reference processing.
4914 [Steve Henson]
4915
4916 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4917 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4918 process.
4919 [Steve Henson]
4920
4921 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4922 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4923 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4924 [Steve Henson]
4925
4926 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4927 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4928 application to support multiple signers.
4929 [Steve Henson]
4930
4931 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4932 digest MAC.
4933 [Steve Henson]
4934
4935 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4936 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4937 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4938 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4939 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4940 [Steve Henson]
4941
4942 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4943 new API.
4944 [Steve Henson]
4945
4946 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4947 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4948 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4949 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4950 a no op.
4951 [Steve Henson]
4952
4953 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4954 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4955 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4956 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4957 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4958 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4959 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4960 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4961 [Steve Henson]
4962
4963 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4964 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4965 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4966 between digests and public key types.
4967 [Steve Henson]
4968
4969 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4970 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4971 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4972 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4973 [Steve Henson]
4974
4975 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4976 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4977 key ASN1 method.
4978 [Steve Henson]
4979
4980 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4981 [Steve Henson]
4982
4983 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4984 pkeyutl.
4985 [Steve Henson]
4986
4987 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4988 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4989 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4990 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4991 pkey, genpkey.
4992 [Steve Henson]
4993
4994 *) BeOS support.
4995 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4996
4997 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4998 manual pages.
4999 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
5000
5001 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
5002 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
5003 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
5004 functionality for RSA.
5005 [Steve Henson]
5006
5007 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
5008 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
5009 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
5010 [Steve Henson]
5011
5012 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
5013 key API, doesn't do much yet.
5014 [Steve Henson]
5015
5016 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
5017 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
5018 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
5019 [Steve Henson]
5020
5021 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
5022 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
5023 [Douglas Stebila]
5024
5025 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
5026 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
5027 [Steve Henson]
5028
5029 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
5030 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
5031 type.
5032 [Steve Henson]
5033
5034 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
5035 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
5036 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
5037 structure.
5038 [Steve Henson]
5039
5040 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
5041 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
5042 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
5043 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
5044 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
5045 of public and private key structures.
5046 [Steve Henson]
5047
5048 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
5049 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
5050 [Douglas Stebila]
5051
5052 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
5053 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
5054 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
5055
5056 New ciphersuites:
5057 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
5058 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
5059
5060 New functions:
5061 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
5062 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
5063 SSL_get_psk_identity
5064 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
5065
5066 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
5067
5068 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
5069 and response verification functionality.
5070 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
5071
5072 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5073 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5074 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5075 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5076 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5077 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5078 server_name extension.
5079
5080 New functions (subject to change):
5081
5082 SSL_get_servername()
5083 SSL_get_servername_type()
5084 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5085
5086 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5087
5088 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5089 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5090 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5091 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5092 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5093
5094 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5095
5096 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5097 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5098 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5099 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5100 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5101 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5102 option.
5103
5104 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
5105
5106 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
5107 [Andy Polyakov]
5108
5109 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
5110 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
5111 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
5112 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
5113 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
5114 [Andy Polyakov]
5115
5116 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
5117 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
5118 macro.
5119 [Bodo Moeller]
5120
5121 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
5122 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
5123 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
5124 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
5125 [Andy Polyakov]
5126
5127 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
5128 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
5129 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
5130 using the maximum available value.
5131 [Steve Henson]
5132
5133 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
5134 in addition to the text details.
5135 [Bodo Moeller]
5136
5137 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
5138 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
5139 handle several customised structures at all.
5140 [Steve Henson]
5141
5142 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
5143 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
5144 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
5145 [Steve Henson]
5146
5147 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
5148 [Steve Henson]
5149
5150 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
5151 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
5152 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
5153 [Steve Henson]
5154
5155 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
5156 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
5157 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
5158 [Nils Larsch]
5159
5160 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
5161 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
5162 all fields.
5163 [Steve Henson]
5164
5165 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
5166 [Steve Henson]
5167
5168 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
5169 [NTT]
5170
5171 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
5172
5173 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
5174 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
5175 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
5176 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
5177 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
5178 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
5179 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
5180 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
5181
5182 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
5183 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
5184 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
5185
5186 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
5187
5188 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
5189 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
5190
5191 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
5192 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
5193 [Bodo Moeller]
5194
5195 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
5196 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
5197 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
5198 [Steve Henson]
5199
5200 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
5201 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
5202 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
5203 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
5204 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
5205 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
5206 [Steve Henson]
5207
5208 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
5209 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
5210 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
5211 [Steve Henson]
5212
5213 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
5214 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
5215 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
5216 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
5217 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
5218 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
5219 CVE-2009-4355.
5220 [Steve Henson]
5221
5222 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
5223 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5224 [Bodo Moeller]
5225
5226 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5227 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5228 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5229 [Steve Henson]
5230
5231 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5232 [Steve Henson]
5233
5234 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5235 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5236 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5237 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5238 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5239 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5240 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5241 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5242 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5243 [Steve Henson]
5244
5245 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5246 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5247 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5248 [Steve Henson]
5249
5250 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5251 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5252 [Steve Henson]
5253
5254 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5255 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5256 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5257 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5258 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5259 know what you are doing.
5260 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5261
5262 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5263 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5264 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5265 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5266 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5267 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5268 the handshake.
5269 [Steve Henson]
5270
5271 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5272 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5273 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5274 correctly.
5275 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
5276
5277 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5278 warnings in other configurations.
5279 [Steve Henson]
5280
5281 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5282 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5283 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5284 systems need.
5285 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5286
5287 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5288 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5289 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5290
5291 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5292 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5293 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5294 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5295 [Steve Henson]
5296
5297 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5298 and restored.
5299 [Steve Henson]
5300
5301 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5302 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5303 clash.
5304 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5305
5306 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5307 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5308 other than a simple chain.
5309 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5310
5311 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5312 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5313 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5314 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5315 [Steve Henson]
5316
5317 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5318 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5319 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5320 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5321 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5322 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5323 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5324 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5325 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5326
5327 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5328 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5329 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5330 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5331 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5332 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5333 (CVE-2009-1377)
5334 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5335
5336 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5337 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5338 [Daniel Mentz]
5339
5340 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5341 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5342
5343 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5344 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5345
5346 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5347
5348 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5349 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5350 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5351 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5352 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5353 you're doing.
5354 [Ben Laurie]
5355
5356 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5357
5358 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5359 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5360 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5361 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5362
5363 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5364 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5365 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5366 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5367
5368 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5369 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5370 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5371 [Steve Henson]
5372
5373 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5374 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5375 level.
5376 [Steve Henson]
5377
5378 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5379 to handle some structures.
5380 [Steve Henson]
5381
5382 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5383 for a '\n'
5384 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5385
5386 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5387 [Matthieu Herrb]
5388
5389 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5390 [Steve Henson]
5391
5392 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5393 [Steve Henson]
5394
5395 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5396 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5397 chosen compiler.
5398 [Ben Laurie]
5399
5400 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5401
5402 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5403 (CVE-2008-5077).
5404 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5405
5406 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5407 [Ben Laurie]
5408
5409 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5410 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5411 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5412 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5413
5414 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5415 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5416
5417 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5418 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5419 [Bodo Moeller]
5420
5421 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5422 s_client and s_server.
5423 [Ben Laurie]
5424
5425 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5426 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5427
5428 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5429 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5430
5431 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5432 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5433 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5434 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5435 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5436 [Bodo Moeller]
5437
5438 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5439
5440 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5441 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5442 [PR #1679]
5443
5444 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5445 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5446 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5447
5448 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5449 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5450 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5451 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5452
5453 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5454 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5455
5456 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5457
5458 *) Various precautionary measures:
5459
5460 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5461
5462 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5463 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5464 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5465
5466 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5467 outside the expected range.
5468
5469 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5470 builds.
5471
5472 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5473
5474 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5475 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5476 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5477
5478 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5479 [Steve Henson]
5480
5481 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5482 [Huang Ying]
5483
5484 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5485
5486 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5487 [Steve Henson]
5488
5489 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5490 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5491 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5492
5493 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5494 [Steve Henson]
5495
5496 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5497 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5498 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5499 files.
5500 [Steve Henson]
5501
5502 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5503
5504 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5505 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5506 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5507 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5508
5509 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5510 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5511 [Joe Orton]
5512
5513 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5514
5515 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5516 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5517 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5518
5519 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5520
5521 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5522 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5523 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5524 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5525 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5526
5527 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5528 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5529 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5530 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5531 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5532 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5533 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5534
5535 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5536
5537 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5538 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5539 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5540 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5541 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5542
5543 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5544 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5545
5546 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5547 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5548 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5549 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5550 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5551
5552 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5553
5554 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5555 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5556 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5557 sets may exist with different names.
5558 [Steve Henson]
5559
5560 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5561 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5562 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5563 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5564 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5565 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5566 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5567 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5568 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5569 implementation.
5570 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5571
5572 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5573 implementation in the following ways:
5574
5575 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5576 hard coded.
5577
5578 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5579 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5580 ignored for embedded content.
5581
5582 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5583 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5584 [Steve Henson]
5585
5586 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5587 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5588 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5589 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5590
5591 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5592 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5593 [Steve Henson]
5594
5595 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5596 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5597 [Steve Henson]
5598
5599 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5600 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5601 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5602 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5603 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5604 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5605 data.
5606 [Steve Henson]
5607
5608 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5609 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5610 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5611
5612 *) Netware support:
5613
5614 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5615 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5616 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5617 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5618 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5619 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5620 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5621 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5622 platform
5623 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5624 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5625 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5626 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5627 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5628 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5629 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5630
5631 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5632 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5633 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5634 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5635 to s_client and s_server.
5636 [Steve Henson]
5637
5638 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5639
5640 *) Fix various bugs:
5641 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5642 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5643 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5644 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5645 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5646
5647 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5648
5649 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5650 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5651 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5652 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5653 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5654 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5655 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5656 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5657 [Andy Polyakov]
5658
5659 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5660 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5661 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5662 Steve Henson]
5663
5664 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5665 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5666 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5667 supported.
5668
5669 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5670 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5671 SSL_SESSION.
5672
5673 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5674 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5675 with no application modification.
5676
5677 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5678 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5679
5680 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5681 or server extensions to be examined.
5682
5683 This work was sponsored by Google.
5684 [Steve Henson]
5685
5686 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5687 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5688 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5689 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5690 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5691 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5692 server_name extension.
5693
5694 New functions (subject to change):
5695
5696 SSL_get_servername()
5697 SSL_get_servername_type()
5698 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5699
5700 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5701
5702 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5703 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5704 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5705 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5706 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5707
5708 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5709
5710 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5711 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5712 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5713 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5714 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5715 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5716 option.
5717
5718 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5719
5720 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5721 [Steve Henson]
5722
5723 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5724 [Andy Polyakov]
5725
5726 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5727 (which previously caused an internal error).
5728 [Bodo Moeller]
5729
5730 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5731 [Ben Laurie]
5732
5733 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5734 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5735
5736 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5737 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5738 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5739
5740 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5741 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5742 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5743 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5744
5745 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5746 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5747 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5748 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5749
5750 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5751 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5752 information. For detailed background information, see
5753 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5754 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5755 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5756 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5757 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5758 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5759 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5760 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5761 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5762 remove a conditional branch.
5763
5764 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5765 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5766 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5767 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5768 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5769 remains as a deprecated alias.
5770
5771 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5772 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5773 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5774 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5775
5776 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5777 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5778 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5779 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5780 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5781 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5782 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5783 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5784
5785 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5786
5787 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5788 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5789 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5790 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5791 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5792 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5793 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5794 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5795 in a different context.
5796 [Bodo Moeller]
5797
5798 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5799 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5800 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5801 [Bodo Moeller]
5802
5803 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5804 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5805 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5806
5807 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5808
5809 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5810 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5811 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5812 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5813 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5814 [Victor Duchovni]
5815
5816 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5817 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5818 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5819 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5820 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5821 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5822 [Bodo Moeller]
5823
5824 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5825 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5826 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5827 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5828 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5829 [Bodo Moeller]
5830
5831 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5832 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5833
5834 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5835 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5836 Improve header file function name parsing.
5837 [Steve Henson]
5838
5839 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5840 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5841 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5842
5843 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5844
5845 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5846 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5847 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5848
5849 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5850 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5851
5852 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5853 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5854
5855 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5856 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5857 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5858
5859 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5860 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5861 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5862 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5863 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5864 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5865 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5866 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5867 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5868
5869 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5870 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5871 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5872 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5873 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5874
5875 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5876 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5877 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5878 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5879 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5880 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5881 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5882 multiple values to extend the available space.
5883
5884 [Bodo Moeller]
5885
5886 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5887
5888 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5889 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5890
5891 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5892 [Ben Laurie]
5893
5894 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5895 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5896 undesirable limitations.
5897 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5898
5899 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5900 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5901 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5902 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5903 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5904 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5905 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5906 [Bodo Moeller]
5907
5908 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5909
5910 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5911 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5912 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5913
5914 The latter two were purportedly from
5915 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5916 appear there.
5917
5918 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5919 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5920 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5921 [Bodo Moeller]
5922
5923 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5924 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5925 [Bodo Moeller]
5926
5927 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5928 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5929 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5930 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5931
5932 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5933 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5934 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5935 [NTT]
5936
5937 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5938 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5939 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5940 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5941 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5942 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5943 [Steve Henson]
5944
5945 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5946
5947 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5948 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5949 [Steve Henson]
5950
5951 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5952 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5953
5954 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5955 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5956 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5957 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5958 [Douglas Stebila]
5959
5960 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5961 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5962 [Steve Henson]
5963
5964 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5965 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5966 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5967 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5968 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5969 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5970 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5971 can't be loaded.
5972 [Steve Henson]
5973
5974 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5975 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5976 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5977 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5978 [Steve Henson]
5979
5980 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5981 under VC++ build system.
5982 [Steve Henson]
5983
5984 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5985 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5986 [Richard Levitte]
5987
5988 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5989
5990 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5991 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5992 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5993 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5994 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5995
5996 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5997 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5998 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5999
6000 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
6001 [Steve Henson]
6002
6003 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
6004 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
6005 [Nils Larsch]
6006
6007 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
6008 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
6009
6010 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
6011 [Nick Mathewson]
6012
6013 *) Extended Windows CE support.
6014 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
6015
6016 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
6017 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
6018 [Steve Henson]
6019
6020 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
6021 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
6022 smime utility.
6023 [Steve Henson]
6024
6025 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
6026
6027 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6028 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6029
6030 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
6031 [Richard Levitte]
6032
6033 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
6034 key into the same file any more.
6035 [Richard Levitte]
6036
6037 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
6038 [Andy Polyakov]
6039
6040 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
6041 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
6042
6043 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
6044 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
6045 [Richard Levitte]
6046
6047 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
6048 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
6049 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
6050 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
6051 this only applies when building 'shared'.
6052 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
6053
6054 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
6055 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
6056 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
6057 [Steve Henson]
6058
6059 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
6060 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
6061 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
6062 - add new function for parameter creation
6063 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
6064 BN_BLINDING parameters
6065 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
6066 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
6067 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
6068 threads.
6069 [Nils Larsch]
6070
6071 *) Add support for DTLS.
6072 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
6073
6074 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
6075 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
6076 [Walter Goulet]
6077
6078 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
6079 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
6080 [Nils Larsch]
6081
6082 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
6083 the apps/openssl applications.
6084 [Nils Larsch]
6085
6086 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
6087 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
6088 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
6089 [Ben Laurie]
6090
6091 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
6092 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
6093
6094 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
6095 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
6096
6097 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
6098 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
6099 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
6100 avoid this algorithm.)
6101
6102 [Bodo Moeller]
6103
6104 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
6105 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
6106 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
6107 [Richard Levitte]
6108
6109 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
6110 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
6111 [Andy Polyakov]
6112
6113 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
6114 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
6115 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
6116 pod file:
6117
6118 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
6119
6120 The blank line is mandatory.
6121
6122 [Steve Henson]
6123
6124 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
6125 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
6126 sources.
6127 [Steve Henson]
6128
6129 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
6130 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
6131
6132 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
6133 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
6134 to support policy checking and print out.
6135 [Steve Henson]
6136
6137 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
6138 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
6139 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
6140 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
6141
6142 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
6143 [Geoff Thorpe]
6144
6145 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
6146 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
6147
6148 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
6149 implementation contributed by IBM.
6150 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
6151
6152 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
6153 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
6154 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
6155 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
6156
6157 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
6158 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
6159
6160 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
6161 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
6162 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
6163 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
6164 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
6165 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
6166 [Steve Henson]
6167
6168 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
6169 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
6170 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
6171 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
6172 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
6173 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
6174 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
6175 [Geoff Thorpe]
6176
6177 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
6178 [Steve Henson]
6179
6180 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
6181 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
6182 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
6183 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
6184 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
6185 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
6186 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
6187 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
6188 [Steve Henson]
6189
6190 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
6191 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
6192 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
6193 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
6194 [Steve Henson]
6195
6196 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
6197 syntax:
6198
6199 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
6200 [Steve Henson]
6201
6202 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
6203 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
6204 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
6205 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
6206 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
6207 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
6208 BN_CTX's "bundling".
6209 [Geoff Thorpe]
6210
6211 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
6212 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
6213 [Geoff Thorpe]
6214
6215 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
6216 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
6217 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
6218 [Steve Henson]
6219
6220 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
6221 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
6222 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
6223 below).
6224 [Geoff Thorpe]
6225
6226 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6227 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6228 [Richard Levitte]
6229
6230 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6231 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6232 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6233 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6234 [Geoff Thorpe]
6235
6236 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6237 initialised value as BN_new().
6238 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6239
6240 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6241 [Steve Henson]
6242
6243 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6244 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6245 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6246 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6247 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6248 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6249 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6250 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6251 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6252 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6253 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6254 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6255 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6256 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6257 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6258
6259 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6260 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6261 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6262 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6263 [Geoff Thorpe]
6264
6265 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6266 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6267 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6268 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6269 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6270 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6271 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6272 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6273 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6274 [Geoff Thorpe]
6275
6276 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6277 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6278 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6279 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6280 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6281 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6282 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6283 [Geoff Thorpe]
6284
6285 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6286 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6287 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6288 these have been updated also.
6289 [Geoff Thorpe]
6290
6291 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6292 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6293 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6294 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6295 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6296 functions.
6297 [Steve Henson]
6298
6299 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6300 structure of type "other".
6301 [Steve Henson]
6302
6303 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6304 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6305 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6306 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6307 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6308 situation in the script.
6309 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6310
6311 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6312 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6313 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6314 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6315 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6316 used as premaster secret.
6317 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6318
6319 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6320 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6321 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6322
6323 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6324 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6325
6326 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6327 control of the error stack.
6328 [Richard Levitte]
6329
6330 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6331 [Richard Levitte]
6332
6333 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6334 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6335 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6336 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6337 [Richard Levitte]
6338
6339 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6340 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6341 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6342 [Richard Levitte]
6343
6344 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6345 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6346 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6347 a memory area.
6348 [Richard Levitte]
6349
6350 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6351 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6352 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6353 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6354 [Richard Levitte]
6355
6356 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6357 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6358 the following flags are defined:
6359
6360 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6361 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6362 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6363 number.
6364
6365 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6366 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6367 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6368 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6369 returns zero.
6370 [Richard Levitte]
6371
6372 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6373 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6374 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6375 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6376 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6377 [Richard Levitte]
6378
6379 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6380 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6381 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6382 [Richard Levitte]
6383
6384 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6385 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6386 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6387 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6388 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6389 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6390 [Richard Levitte]
6391
6392 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6393 req and dirName.
6394 [Steve Henson]
6395
6396 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6397 [Steve Henson]
6398
6399 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6400 [Steve Henson]
6401
6402 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6403 [Steve Henson]
6404
6405 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6406 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6407 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6408 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6409 default implementation more easily.
6410 [Geoff Thorpe]
6411
6412 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6413 in config files.
6414 [Steve Henson]
6415
6416 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6417 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6418 [Richard Levitte]
6419
6420 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6421 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6422 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6423 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6424
6425 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6426 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6427 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6428 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6429 [Steve Henson]
6430
6431 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6432 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6433 to do it.
6434 [Richard Levitte]
6435
6436 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6437 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6438 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6439 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6440 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6441 scalar * generator).
6442 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6443
6444 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6445 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6446 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6447 correctly.
6448 [Steve Henson]
6449
6450 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6451 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6452 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6453 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6454 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6455 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6456 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6457 linker additions, eg;
6458 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6459 [Geoff Thorpe]
6460
6461 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6462 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6463 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6464 [Geoff Thorpe]
6465
6466 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6467 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6468 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6469 via PR#459)
6470 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6471
6472 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6473 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6474 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6475 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6476 [Geoff Thorpe]
6477
6478 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6479 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6480 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6481 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6482 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6483 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6484 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6485 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6486 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6487 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6488
6489 Example for using the new callback interface:
6490
6491 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6492 void *my_arg = ...;
6493 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6494
6495 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6496
6497 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6498 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6499 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6500 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6501 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6502 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6503 */
6504
6505 [Geoff Thorpe]
6506
6507 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6508 available to TLS with the number defined in
6509 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6510 [Richard Levitte]
6511
6512 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6513 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6514
6515 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6516 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6517 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6518 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6519
6520 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6521 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6522
6523 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6524 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6525 well.
6526 [Richard Levitte]
6527
6528 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6529 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6530 [Richard Levitte]
6531
6532 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6533 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6534 and a macro that behave like
6535 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6536
6537 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6538 [Nils Larsch]
6539
6540 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6541 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6542 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6543 if applicable.
6544 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6545
6546 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6547 [Bodo Moeller]
6548
6549 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6550 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6551 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6552 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6553 directory engines/.
6554 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6555 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6556 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6557 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6558 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6559 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6560 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6561 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6562
6563 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6564 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6565 [Richard Levitte]
6566
6567 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6568 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6569
6570 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6571 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6572 files while avoiding the low level API.
6573
6574 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6575 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6576 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6577 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6578
6579 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6580 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6581 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6582 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6583 instead of the low level API.
6584 [Steve Henson]
6585
6586 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6587 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6588 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6589 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6590 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6591 PKCS#7 code.
6592
6593 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6594 down to the template encoder.
6595 [Steve Henson]
6596
6597 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6598 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6599 [Bodo Moeller]
6600
6601 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6602 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6603 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6604 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6605
6606 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6607 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6608
6609 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6610 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6611
6612 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6613 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6614 [Bodo Moeller]
6615
6616 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6617 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6618 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6619 [Bodo Moeller]
6620
6621 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6622 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6623
6624 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6625 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6626
6627 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6628 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6629 New EC_METHOD:
6630
6631 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6632
6633 New API functions:
6634
6635 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6636 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6637 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6638 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6639 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6640 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6641
6642 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6643 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6644 enable it).
6645
6646 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6647 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6648 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6649 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6650 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6651 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6652 various internal method names.)
6653
6654 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6655 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6656
6657 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6658 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6659
6660 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6661 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6662
6663 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6664 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6665 methods are undefined.
6666
6667 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6668 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6669
6670 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6671 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6672 length of the modulus.
6673
6674 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6675 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6676
6677 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6678 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6679
6680 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6681 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6682
6683 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6684 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6685 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6686
6687 BN_GF2m_add
6688 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6689 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6690 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6691 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6692 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6693 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6694 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6695 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6696 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6697
6698 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6699 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6700
6701 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6702 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6703 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6704 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6705 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6706 where
6707 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6708 This applies to the following functions:
6709
6710 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6711 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6712 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6713 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6714 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6715 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6716 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6717 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6718 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6719 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6720
6721 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6722
6723 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6724 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6725
6726 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6727
6728 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6729 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6730 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6731 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6732 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6733
6734 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6735 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6736
6737 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6738 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6739 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6740
6741 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6742 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6743
6744 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6745 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6746 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6747 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6748 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6749
6750 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6751 functions
6752 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6753 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6754 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6755 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6756 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6757 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6758 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6759 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6760 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6761 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6762 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6763 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6764
6765 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6766 functions
6767 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6768 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6769 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6770 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6771 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6772
6773 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6774 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6775 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6776 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6777
6778 *) Add functions
6779 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6780 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6781 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6782 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6783 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6784 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6785 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6786
6787 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6788 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6789 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6790 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6791 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6792 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6793 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6794 adding different types of curves.
6795 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6796
6797 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6798 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6799 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6800 [Bodo Moeller]
6801
6802 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6803 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6804
6805 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6806 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6807 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6808 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6809
6810 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6811
6812 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6813 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6814
6815 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6816 library. Most notably,
6817 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6818 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6819 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6820 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6821 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6822 extracted before the specific public key;
6823 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6824 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6825
6826 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6827 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6828 function
6829 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6830 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6831 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6832 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6833 accessed via
6834 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6835 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6836 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6837
6838 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6839 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6840 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6841 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6842 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6843 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6844 differing sizes.
6845 [Richard Levitte]
6846
6847 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6848
6849 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6850 sensitive data.
6851 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6852
6853 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6854 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6855 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6856 [Bodo Moeller]
6857
6858 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6859 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6860 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6861 [Victor Duchovni]
6862
6863 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6864 [Steve Henson]
6865
6866 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6867 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6868 [Steve Henson]
6869
6870 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6871 run algorithm test programs.
6872 [Steve Henson]
6873
6874 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6875 [Steve Henson]
6876
6877 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6878 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6879 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6880 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6881 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6882 [Bodo Moeller]
6883
6884 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6885 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6886 [Steve Henson]
6887
6888 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6889
6890 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6891 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6892 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6893
6894 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6895 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6896
6897 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6898 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6899
6900 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6901 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6902 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6903
6904 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6905 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6906 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6907 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6908 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6909 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6910 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6911 [Bodo Moeller]
6912
6913 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6914
6915 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6916 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6917
6918 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6919 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6920 undesirable limitations.
6921 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6922
6923 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6924
6925 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6926 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6927 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6928
6929 The latter two were purportedly from
6930 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6931 appear there.
6932
6933 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6934 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6935 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6936 [Bodo Moeller]
6937
6938 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6939 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6940 [Bodo Moeller]
6941
6942 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6943
6944 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6945 module in FIPS mode.
6946 [Steve Henson]
6947
6948 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6949 [Steve Henson]
6950
6951 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6952 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6953 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6954 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6955 [Steve Henson]
6956
6957 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6958
6959 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6960 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6961 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6962 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6963 the difference induced by this change.
6964 [Andy Polyakov]
6965
6966 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6967
6968 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6969 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6970 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6971 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6972 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6973
6974 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6975 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6976 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6977
6978 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6979 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6980 [Steve Henson]
6981
6982 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6983 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6984 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6985 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6986 biased k.)
6987 [Bodo Moeller]
6988
6989 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6990 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6991 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6992 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6993 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6994
6995 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6996 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6997 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6998 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6999 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
7000 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
7001
7002 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
7003
7004 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
7005 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
7006 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
7007 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
7008 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
7009 [Bodo Moeller]
7010
7011 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
7012 clients need.
7013 [Steve Henson]
7014
7015 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
7016 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
7017 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
7018 [Steve Henson]
7019
7020 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
7021 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
7022 structures constant.
7023 [Steve Henson]
7024
7025 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
7026
7027 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
7028 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
7029
7030 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
7031 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
7032 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
7033 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
7034 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
7035 some needed definitions.
7036 [Steve Henson]
7037
7038 *) Undo Cygwin change.
7039 [Ulf Möller]
7040
7041 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
7042 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
7043 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
7044 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
7045 [Richard Levitte]
7046
7047 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
7048
7049 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
7050 server and client random values. Previously
7051 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
7052 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
7053
7054 This change has negligible security impact because:
7055
7056 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
7057 data.
7058
7059 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
7060 handshake.
7061
7062 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
7063 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
7064 values.
7065
7066 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
7067 to our attention.
7068
7069 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
7070
7071 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
7072 [Ulf Möller]
7073
7074 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
7075 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
7076 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
7077
7078 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
7079 [Steve Henson]
7080
7081 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
7082 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
7083 [Andy Polyakov]
7084
7085 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
7086 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
7087 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
7088
7089 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
7090 [Steve Henson]
7091
7092 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
7093 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
7094 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
7095 certificates.
7096 [Steve Henson]
7097
7098 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
7099 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
7100 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
7101 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
7102
7103 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
7104 has chosen to ignore this fault)
7105 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
7106 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
7107 been given)
7108 [Richard Levitte]
7109
7110 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
7111
7112 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
7113 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
7114 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
7115 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
7116 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
7117 [Steve Henson]
7118
7119 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
7120 [Steve Henson]
7121
7122 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
7123 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
7124
7125 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
7126 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
7127 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
7128 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
7129 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
7130 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
7131 rather than being initialized to 1.
7132 [Steve Henson]
7133
7134 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
7135
7136 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7137 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7138 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7139
7140 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
7141 (CVE-2004-0112)
7142 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7143
7144 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
7145 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
7146 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
7147 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
7148 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
7149 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
7150 [Richard Levitte]
7151
7152 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
7153 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
7154 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
7155 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
7156 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
7157 for these cases.
7158 [Steve Henson]
7159
7160 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
7161 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
7162 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
7163 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
7164 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
7165 [Steve Henson]
7166
7167 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
7168 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
7169 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
7170 < 0.9.7.
7171 [Steve Henson]
7172
7173 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
7174 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7175
7176 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
7177 [Steve Henson]
7178
7179 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
7180
7181 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7182
7183 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7184 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7185
7186 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
7187
7188 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7189 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7190
7191 [Steve Henson]
7192
7193 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
7194 exiting on the first error in a request.
7195 [Steve Henson]
7196
7197 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7198 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7199 specifications.
7200 [Steve Henson]
7201
7202 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7203 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7204 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7205 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7206
7207 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7208 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7209 [Richard Levitte]
7210
7211 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
7212 blocks during encryption.
7213 [Richard Levitte]
7214
7215 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
7216 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
7217 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
7218 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
7219 certain size.
7220 [Steve Henson]
7221
7222 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
7223 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7224 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7225 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7226 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7227 parser.
7228 [Steve Henson]
7229
7230 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7231
7232 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7233 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7234 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7235 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7236 [Bodo Moeller]
7237
7238 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7239 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7240 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7241 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7242 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7243
7244 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7245 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7246 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7247 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7248 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7249 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7250 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7251 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7252 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7253 [Bodo Moeller]
7254
7255 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7256 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7257 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7258 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7259 [Geoff Thorpe]
7260
7261 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7262 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7263 [Ulf Moeller]
7264
7265 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7266
7267 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7268 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7269 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7270 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7271 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7272
7273 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7274 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7275 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7276
7277 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7278 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7279 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7280 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7281 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7282
7283 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7284 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7285 used by default when no-err is given.
7286 [Richard Levitte]
7287
7288 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7289 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7290
7291 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7292 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7293 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7294 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7295 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7296
7297 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7298 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7299 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7300 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7301
7302 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7303
7304 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7305
7306 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7307
7308 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7309 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7310 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7311 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7312 root is omitted).
7313 [Steve Henson]
7314
7315 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7316 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7317
7318 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7319 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7320 [Steve Henson]
7321
7322 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7323 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7324 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7325 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7326 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7327
7328 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7329 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7330 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7331 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7332 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7333 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7334 followup to PR #377.
7335 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7336
7337 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7338 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7339 [Andy Polyakov]
7340
7341 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7342 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7343 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7344 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
7345
7346 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7347
7348 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7349 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7350
7351 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7352 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7353 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7354 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7355 client and server.
7356 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7357 PR #377.
7358 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7359
7360 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7361 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7362 removed entirely.
7363 [Richard Levitte]
7364
7365 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7366 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7367 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7368 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7369 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7370 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7371 of libcrypto.
7372 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7373 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7374 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7375 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7376 have to be made anyway).
7377 [Richard Levitte]
7378
7379 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7380 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7381 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7382 [Steve Henson]
7383
7384 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7385 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7386 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7387 [Richard Levitte]
7388
7389 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7390 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7391 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7392
7393 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7394 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7395 edit numbers of the version.
7396 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7397
7398 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7399 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7400 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7401
7402 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7403 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7404
7405 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7406 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7407 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7408
7409 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7410 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7411
7412 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7413 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7414
7415 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7416 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7417
7418 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7419 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7420
7421 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7422 overflows.
7423 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7424
7425 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7426 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7427 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7428
7429 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7430 representations in a platform independent manner.
7431 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7432
7433 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7434 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7435 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7436
7437 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7438 indents.
7439 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7440
7441 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7442 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7443
7444 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7445 full. Fixed.
7446 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7447
7448 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7449 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7450 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7451
7452 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7453 unconditionally).
7454 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7455
7456 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7457 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7458
7459 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7460 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7461
7462 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7463 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7464
7465 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7466 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7467
7468 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7469 CBCParameter.
7470 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7471
7472 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7473 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7474
7475 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7476 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7477
7478 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7479 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7480 exploitable.
7481 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7482
7483 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7484 the 0.9.6 release series:
7485
7486 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7487 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7488 (CVE-2002-0657)
7489 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7490
7491 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7492 [Richard Levitte]
7493
7494 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7495 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7496
7497 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7498 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7499
7500 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7501 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7502 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7503 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7504
7505 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7506 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7507 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7508
7509 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7510 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7511 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7512 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7513
7514 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7515 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7516 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7517 some local tweaks:
7518
7519 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7520 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7521 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7522 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7523 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7524 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7525 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7526 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7527 done
7528
7529 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7530 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7531 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7532 [Richard Levitte]
7533
7534 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7535 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7536 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7537 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7538 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7539
7540 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7541 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7542
7543 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7544 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7545 [Richard Levitte]
7546
7547 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7548 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7549 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7550 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7551 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7552 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7553 [Steve Henson]
7554
7555 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7556 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7557 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7558 [Steve Henson]
7559
7560 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7561 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7562 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7563
7564 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7565 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7566 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7567 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7568 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7569 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7570 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7571 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7572
7573 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7574 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7575 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7576 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7577 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7578 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7579 [Steve Henson]
7580
7581 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7582 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7583 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7584 declaration has been changed from
7585 int (*cb)()
7586 into
7587 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7588 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7589 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7590 has been changed into
7591 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7592
7593 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7594 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7595 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7596
7597 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7598 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7599
7600 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7601 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7602 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7603 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7604 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7605 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7606 always load it have also been added.
7607 [Steve Henson]
7608
7609 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7610 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7611 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7612
7613 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7614
7615 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7616 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7617 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7618
7619 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7620 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7621 command line option can be used to specify an
7622 alternative file.
7623 [Steve Henson]
7624
7625 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7626 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7627 [Steve Henson]
7628
7629 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7630 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7631 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7632 [Steve Henson]
7633
7634 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7635 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7636 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7637 to work with the new engine framework.
7638 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7639
7640 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7641 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7642 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7643 to work with the new engine framework.
7644 [Richard Levitte]
7645
7646 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7647 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7648 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7649
7650 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7651 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7652
7653 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7654 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7655 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7656 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7657 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7658 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7659
7660 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7661 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7662
7663 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7664 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7665
7666 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7667 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7668 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7669 [Ben Laurie]
7670
7671 *) Add new functions
7672 ERR_peek_last_error
7673 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7674 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7675 These are similar to
7676 ERR_peek_error
7677 ERR_peek_error_line
7678 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7679 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7680 still in the error queue.
7681 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7682
7683 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7684 like:
7685 default_algorithms = ALL
7686 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7687 [Steve Henson]
7688
7689 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7690 [Steve Henson]
7691
7692 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7693 [Steve Henson]
7694
7695 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7696 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7697 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7698 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7699
7700 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7701 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7702
7703 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7704 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7705
7706 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7707 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7708 [Bodo Moeller]
7709
7710 *) New functions/macros
7711
7712 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7713 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7714 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7715 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7716
7717 to request calling a callback function
7718
7719 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7720 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7721
7722 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7723 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7724 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7725 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7726 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7727 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7728 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7729 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7730 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7731 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7732
7733 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7734 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7735 [Bodo Moeller]
7736
7737 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7738 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7739 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7740 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7741 the configuration scripts.
7742
7743 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7744 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7745 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7746
7747 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7748 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7749
7750 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7751 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7752 when reusing an existing buffer.
7753 [Bodo Moeller]
7754
7755 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7756 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7757 [Steve Henson]
7758
7759 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7760 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7761 [Ben Laurie]
7762
7763 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7764 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7765 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7766 has the same effect.
7767 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7768
7769 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7770 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7771 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7772 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7773 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7774 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7775 exception.
7776
7777 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7778 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7779 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7780 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7781
7782 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7783 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7784 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7785 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7786
7787 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7788 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7789 won't work.
7790
7791 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7792 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7793 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7794 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7795 default), and then completely removed.
7796 [Richard Levitte]
7797
7798 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7799 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7800 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7801 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7802 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7803 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7804 particular extension is supported.
7805 [Steve Henson]
7806
7807 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7808 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7809 [Steve Henson]
7810
7811 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7812 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7813 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7814 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7815 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7816 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7817 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7818 requires the destination to be valid.
7819
7820 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7821 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7822 [Steve Henson]
7823
7824 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7825 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7826 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7827 [Bodo Moeller]
7828
7829 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7830 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7831
7832 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7833 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7834 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7835 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7836 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7837 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7838 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7839 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7840 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7841 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7842 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7843 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7844 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7845 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7846 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7847 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7848 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7849 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7850 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7851 the new code.
7852 [Geoff Thorpe]
7853
7854 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7855 [Steve Henson]
7856
7857 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7858 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7859 become part of libeay.num as well.
7860 [Richard Levitte]
7861
7862 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7863 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7864 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7865 false once a handshake has been completed.
7866 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7867 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7868 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7869 client has followed the request.)
7870 [Bodo Moeller]
7871
7872 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7873 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7874 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7875 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7876
7877 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7878 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7879 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7880 [Bodo Moeller]
7881
7882 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7883 [Steve Henson]
7884
7885 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7886 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7887 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7888 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7889
7890 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7891 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7892 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7893
7894 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7895 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7896 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7897 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7898 [Geoff Thorpe]
7899
7900 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7901 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7902 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7903 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7904 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7905 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7906 [Geoff Thorpe]
7907
7908 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7909 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7910 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7911 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7912 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7913 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7914 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7915 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7916 [Geoff Thorpe]
7917
7918 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7919 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7920 [Geoff Thorpe]
7921
7922 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7923 [Ben Laurie]
7924
7925 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7926 md_data void pointer.
7927 [Ben Laurie]
7928
7929 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7930 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7931 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7932 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7933 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7934 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7935 [Ben Laurie]
7936
7937 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7938 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7939 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7940 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7941 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7942 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7943 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7944 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7945 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7946 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7947 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7948 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7949 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7950 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7951 rather than letting it slide.
7952
7953 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7954 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7955 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7956 [Geoff Thorpe]
7957
7958 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7959 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7960 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7961 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7962 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7963 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7964 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7965 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7966 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7967 [Geoff Thorpe]
7968
7969 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7970 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7971 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7972 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7973 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7974
7975 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7976 [Geoff Thorpe]
7977
7978 *) Add EVP test program.
7979 [Ben Laurie]
7980
7981 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7982 [Ben Laurie]
7983
7984 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7985 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7986 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7987 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7988 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7989 [Steve Henson]
7990
7991 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7992 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7993 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7994 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7995 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7996 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7997 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7998
7999 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
8000 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
8001 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
8002 Usage example:
8003
8004 EVP_MD_CTX md;
8005
8006 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
8007 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
8008 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
8009 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
8010 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
8011
8012 [Ben Laurie]
8013
8014 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
8015 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
8016 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
8017 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
8018 anyway): E.g.,
8019
8020 des_key_schedule ks;
8021
8022 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
8023 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
8024
8025 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
8026 [Ben Laurie]
8027
8028 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
8029 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
8030 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
8031 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
8032 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
8033 functions prevents this.
8034 [Steve Henson]
8035
8036 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
8037 [Ben Laurie]
8038
8039 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
8040 correct _ecb suffix.
8041 [Ben Laurie]
8042
8043 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
8044 revocation information is handled using the text based index
8045 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
8046 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
8047 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
8048 [Steve Henson]
8049
8050 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
8051 [Richard Levitte]
8052
8053 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
8054 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
8055 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
8056 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
8057
8058 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
8059 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
8060
8061 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
8062 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8063 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
8064 via Richard Levitte]
8065
8066 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
8067 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
8068 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
8069 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
8070 [Geoff Thorpe]
8071
8072 *) Speed up EVP routines.

8088 [Ben Laurie]
8089
8090 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
8091 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
8092
8093 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
8094 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
8095 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
8096 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
8097 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
8098 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
8099 [Steve Henson]
8100
8101 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
8102 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
8103 [Richard Levitte]
8104
8105 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
8106 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
8107 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
8108 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
8109
8110 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
8111 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
8112 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
8113 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
8114 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
8115 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
8116 callback.
8117 [Richard Levitte]
8118
8119 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
8120 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
8121 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
8122 and interrupts/cancellations.
8123 [Richard Levitte]
8124
8125 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
8126 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
8127 [Steve Henson]
8128
8129 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
8130 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
8131 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
8132
8133 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
8134 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
8135 kind of callback.
8136 [Richard Levitte]
8137
8138 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
8139 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
8140 than this minimum value is recommended.
8141 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8142
8143 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
8144 that are easily reachable.
8145 [Richard Levitte]
8146
8147 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
8148 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
8149
8150 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
8151
8152 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
8153 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
8154 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
8155 needed for static libraries under Win32.
8156 [Steve Henson]
8157
8158 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
8159 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
8160 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
8161 [Steve Henson]
8162
8163 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
8164 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8165 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8166 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8167 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8168 internally such as S/MIME.
8169
8170 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8171 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8172 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8173
8174 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8175 applications.
8176 [Steve Henson]
8177
8178 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8179 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8180 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8181 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8182
8183 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8184
8185 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8186
8187 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8188 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8189 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8190 handling.
8191 [Steve Henson]
8192
8193 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8194 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8195 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8196 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8197 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8198 a window system and the like.
8199 [Richard Levitte]
8200
8201 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8202 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8203 [Geoff]
8204
8205 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8206 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8207 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8208 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8209 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8210 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8211 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8212 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8213 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8214 ENGINE structure.
8215 [Geoff]
8216
8217 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8218 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8219 tag cache.
8220 [Steve Henson]
8221
8222 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8223 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8224 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8225 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8226 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8227 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8228 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8229 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8230 [Geoff]
8231
8232 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8233 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8234 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8235 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8236 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8237 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8238 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8239 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8240 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8241 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8242 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8243 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8244 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8245 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8246 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8247 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8248 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8249 [Geoff]
8250
8251 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8252 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8253 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8254 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8255 internal engine_int.h header.
8256 [Geoff]
8257
8258 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8259 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8260 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8261 modify their own ones).
8262 [Geoff]
8263
8264 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8265 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8266 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8267 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8268 later on via ctrl() commands.
8269 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8270 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8271 structural references.
8272 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8273 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8274 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8275 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8276 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8277 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8278 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8279 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8280 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8281 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8282 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8283 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8284 [Geoff]
8285
8286 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8287 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8288 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8289 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8290 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8291 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8292 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8293 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8294 [Bodo Moeller]
8295
8296 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8297 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8298 [Steve Henson]
8299
8300 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8301 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8302 [Steve Henson]
8303
8304 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8305 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8306 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8307 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8308 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8309 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8310 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8311 [Steve Henson]
8312
8313 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8314 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8315 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8316 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8317 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8318
8319 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8320 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8321 generator).
8322 [Bodo Moeller]
8323
8324 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8325
8326 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8327 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8328 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8329
8330 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8331 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8332
8333 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8334 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8335 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8336
8337 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8338 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8339
8340 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8341 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8342
8343 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8344
8345 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8346 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8347 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8348 [Bodo Moeller]
8349
8350 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8351 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8352 [Richard Levitte]
8353
8354 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8355 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8356 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8357 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8358 is 40 of more characters long.
8359 [Steve Henson]
8360
8361 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8362 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8363 pointers.
8364 [Steve Henson]
8365
8366 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8367 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8368 [Bodo Moeller]
8369
8370 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8371 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8372 might.
8373 [Steve Henson]
8374
8375 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8376
8377 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8378 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8379
8380 ASN1 error codes
8381 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8382 ...
8383 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8384 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8385 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8386 ...
8387 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8388 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8389
8390 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8391 [Bodo Moeller]
8392
8393 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8394 suffices.
8395 [Bodo Moeller]
8396
8397 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8398 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8399 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8400 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8401 and
8402 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8403
8404 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8405 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8406
8407 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8408 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8409 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8410 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8411 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8412 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8413
8414 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8415 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8416
8417 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8418 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8419
8420 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8421 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8422
8423 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8424 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8425 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8426 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8427
8428 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8429 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8430
8431 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8432 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8433
8434 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8435 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8436 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8437 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8438 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8439 [Richard Levitte]
8440
8441 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8442 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8443 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8444 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8445 [Steve Henson]
8446
8447 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8448 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8449 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8450 trust settings.
8451 [Steve Henson]
8452
8453 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8454 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8455 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8456 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8457 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8458 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8459 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8460 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8461 ocsp utility.
8462 [Steve Henson]
8463
8464 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8465 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8466 [Steve Henson]
8467
8468 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8469 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8470 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8471 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8472 [Steve Henson]
8473
8474 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8475 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8476 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8477 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8478 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8479 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8480 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8481 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8482 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8483 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8484 [Steve Henson]
8485
8486 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8487 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8488 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8489 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8490 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8491 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8492 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8493 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8494
8495 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8496 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8497 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8498 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8499 [Richard Levitte]
8500
8501 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8502 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8503 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8504 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8505 opensslconf.h.
8506 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8507 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8508 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8509 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8510 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8511 what is available.
8512 [Richard Levitte]
8513
8514 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8515 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8516 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8517 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8518 auto incremented.
8519 [Steve Henson]
8520
8521 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8522 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8523 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8524 [Steve Henson]
8525
8526 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8527 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8528 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8529 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8530 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8531 [Steve Henson]
8532
8533 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8534 [Steve Henson]
8535
8536 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8537 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8538 option to ocsp utility.
8539 [Steve Henson]
8540
8541 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8542 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8543 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8544 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8545 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8546 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8547 the request is nonce-less.
8548 [Steve Henson]
8549
8550 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8551 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8552 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8553 [Bodo Moeller]
8554
8555 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8556 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8557 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8558 [Steve Henson]
8559
8560 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8561 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8562 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8563 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8564 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8565 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8566
8567 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8568 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8569 appear to exist.
8570 [Steve Henson]
8571
8572 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8573 additional certificates supplied.
8574 [Steve Henson]
8575
8576 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8577 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8578 signature against.
8579 [Richard Levitte]
8580
8581 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8582 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8583 AES OIDs.
8584
8585 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8586 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8587 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8588 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8589 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8590 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8591 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8592 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8593 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8594
8595 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8596 request to response.
8597 [Steve Henson]
8598
8599 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8600 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8601 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8602 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8603 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8604 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8605 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8606 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8607 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8608 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8609 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8610 [Steve Henson]
8611
8612 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8613 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8614 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8615 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8616 [Steve Henson]
8617
8618 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8619 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8620
8621 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8622 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8623 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8624 [Steve Henson]
8625
8626 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8627 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8628 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8629 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8630 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8631
8632 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8633 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8634 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8635 [Steve Henson]
8636
8637 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8638 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8639 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8640 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8641 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8642 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8643 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8644 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8645
8646 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8647 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8648 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8649 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8650 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8651 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8652 [Steve Henson]
8653
8654 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8655 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8656 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8657 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8658 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8659 printout format cleaned up.
8660 [Steve Henson]
8661
8662 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8663 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8664 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8665 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8666 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8667 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8668 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8669 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8670 [Steve Henson]
8671
8672 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8673 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8674 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8675 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8676 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8677 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8678 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8679 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8680 [Steve Henson]
8681
8682 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8683 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8684 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8685 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8686 section to use.
8687 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8688
8689 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8690 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8691 parsed, outputted or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8692 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8693 [Steve Henson]
8694
8695 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8696 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8697 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8698 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8699 in the index file.
8700 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8701
8702 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8703 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8704 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8705 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8706
8707 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8708 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8709
8710 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8711 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8712 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8713 [Steve Henson]
8714
8715 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8716 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8717 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8718 [Bodo Moeller]
8719
8720 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8721 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8722 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8723 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8724 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8725 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8726 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8727 functions are provided:
8728
8729 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8730 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8731 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8732 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8733
8734 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8735 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8736 extended allocation function is enabled.
8737 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8738 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8739 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8740
8741 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8742 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8743 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8744 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8745 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8746 [Geoff Thorpe]
8747
8748 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8749 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8750 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8751 be queried.
8752 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8753 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8754 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8755 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8756
8757 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8758 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8759 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8760 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8761 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8762 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8763 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8764 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8765 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8766 [Richard Levitte]
8767
8768 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8769 provide utility functions which an application needing
8770 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8771 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8772 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8773
8774 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8775 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8776 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8777 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8778 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8779 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8780 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8781 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8782 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8783
8784 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8785 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8786 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8787 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8788 [Steve Henson]
8789
8790 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8791 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8792 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8793 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8794 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8795 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8796 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8797 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8798 will be added elsewhere.
8799 [Steve Henson]
8800
8801 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8802 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8803 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8804 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8805 [Steve Henson]
8806
8807 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8808 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8809 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8810 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8811 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8812 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8813 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8814 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8815 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8816 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8817 to produce the required SET OF.
8818 [Steve Henson]
8819
8820 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8821 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8822 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8823 [Richard Levitte]
8824
8825 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8826 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8827 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8828 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8829 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8830 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8831 [Steve Henson]
8832
8833 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8834 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8835 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8836 [Steve Henson]
8837
8838 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8839 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8840 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8841 [Richard Levitte]
8842
8843 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8844 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8845 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8846 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8847 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8848 [Steve Henson]
8849
8850 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8851 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8852 [Steve Henson]
8853
8854 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8855 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8856 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8857 certificates and CRLs.
8858 [Steve Henson]
8859
8860 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8861 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8862 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8863 [Steve Henson]
8864
8865 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8866 entries for variables.
8867 [Steve Henson]
8868
8869 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8870 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8871 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8872 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8873 [Bodo Moeller]
8874
8875 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8876 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8877 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8878 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8879 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8880 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8881 [Bodo Moeller]
8882
8883 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8884 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8885
8886 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8887 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8888 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8889 [Steve Henson]
8890
8891 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8892 print routines.
8893 [Steve Henson]
8894
8895 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8896 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8897 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8898 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8899 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8900 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8901 [Steve Henson]
8902
8903 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8904 [Steve Henson]
8905
8906 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8907 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8908 for now but they will eventually go away.
8909 [Steve Henson]
8910
8911 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8912 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8913 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8914 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8915 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8916 has also been converted to the new form.
8917 [Steve Henson]
8918
8919 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8920 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8921 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8922 for negative moduli.
8923 [Bodo Moeller]
8924
8925 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8926 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8927 [Bodo Moeller]
8928
8929 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8930 set.
8931 [Bodo Moeller]
8932
8933 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8934 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8935 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8936 type-specific callbacks.
8937 [Geoff Thorpe]
8938
8939 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8940 RFC 2712.
8941 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8942 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8943
8944 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8945 in sections depending on the subject.
8946 [Richard Levitte]
8947
8948 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8949 Windows.
8950 [Richard Levitte]
8951
8952 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8953 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8954 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8955 be handled deterministically).
8956 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8957
8958 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8959 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8960 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8961 [Bodo Moeller]
8962
8963 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8964 [Bodo Moeller]
8965
8966 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8967 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8968 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8969 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8970 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8971 [Bodo Moeller]
8972
8973 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8974 sign of the number in question.
8975
8976 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8977
8978 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8979 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8980 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8981 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8982 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8983 [Bodo Moeller]
8984
8985 *) New function BN_swap.
8986 [Bodo Moeller]
8987
8988 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8989 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8990 results on negative inputs.
8991 [Bodo Moeller]
8992
8993 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8994 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8995 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8996 [Bodo Moeller]
8997
8998 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8999 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
9000 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
9001 and add new functions:
9002
9003 BN_nnmod
9004 BN_mod_sqr
9005 BN_mod_add
9006 BN_mod_add_quick
9007 BN_mod_sub
9008 BN_mod_sub_quick
9009 BN_mod_lshift1
9010 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
9011 BN_mod_lshift
9012 BN_mod_lshift_quick
9013
9014 These functions always generate non-negative results.
9015
9016 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
9017 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
9018
9019 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
9020 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
9021 be reduced modulo m.
9022 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
9023
9024#if 0
9025 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
9026 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
9027 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
9028
9029 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
9030 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
9031 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
9032 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
9033 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
9034 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
9035 differing sizes.
9036 [Richard Levitte]
9037#endif
9038
9039 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
9040 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
9041 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
9042 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
9043 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
9044
9045 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
9046 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
9047 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
9048 cause any problems.
9049 [Bodo Moeller]
9050
9051 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
9052 [Richard Levitte]
9053
9054 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
9055 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
9056 [Richard Levitte]
9057
9058 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
9059 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
9060 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
9061 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
9062 time)
9063 [Richard Levitte]
9064
9065 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
9066 [Richard Levitte]
9067
9068 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
9069 [Richard Levitte]
9070
9071 *) Add the following functions:
9072
9073 ENGINE_load_cswift()
9074 ENGINE_load_chil()
9075 ENGINE_load_atalla()
9076 ENGINE_load_nuron()
9077 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
9078
9079 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
9080 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
9081 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
9082 libraries unless it's really needed.
9083
9084 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
9085 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
9086 declarations (they differed!).
9087 [Richard Levitte]
9088
9089 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
9090 [Richard Levitte]
9091
9092 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
9093 [Richard Levitte]
9094
9095 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
9096 [Bodo Moeller]
9097
9098 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
9099 identity, and test if they are actually available.
9100 [Richard Levitte]
9101
9102 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
9103 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
9104 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
9105
9106 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
9107 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
9108 [Richard Levitte]
9109
9110 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
9111 [Richard Levitte]
9112
9113 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
9114 [Richard Levitte]
9115
9116 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
9117 [Ben Laurie]
9118
9119 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
9120 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
9121 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
9122
9123 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
9124 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
9125 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
9126 different shared library filenames on each system.
9127 [Geoff Thorpe]
9128
9129 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
9130 [Richard Levitte]
9131
9132 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
9133 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
9134 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
9135 of two sections.
9136 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
9137
9138 *) NCONF changes.
9139 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
9140 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
9141 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
9142 binary backward compatibility.
9143 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
9144 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
9145 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
9146 LDAP server.
9147 [Richard Levitte]
9148
9149 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
9150 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
9151 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
9152 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
9153 this case.
9154 [Steve Henson]
9155
9156 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
9157 [Ben Laurie]
9158
9159 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
9160 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
9161 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
9162 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9163 set.
9164 [Steve Henson]
9165
9166 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9167 [Richard Levitte]
9168
9169 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9170
9171 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9172 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9173 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9174
9175 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9176
9177 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9178
9179 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9180 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9181 [Steve Henson]
9182
9183 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9184
9185 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9186
9187 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9188 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9189
9190 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9191 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9192
9193 [Steve Henson]
9194
9195 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9196 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9197 specifications.
9198 [Steve Henson]
9199
9200 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9201 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9202 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9203 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9204
9205 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9206 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9207 [Richard Levitte]
9208
9209 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9210
9211 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9212 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9213 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9214 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9215 [Bodo Moeller]
9216
9217 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9218 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9219 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9220 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9221 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9222
9223 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9224 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9225 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9226 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9227 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9228 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9229 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9230 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9231 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9232 [Bodo Moeller]
9233
9234 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9235
9236 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9237 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9238 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9239 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9240 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9241
9242 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9243 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9244 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9245
9246 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9247
9248 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9249 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9250 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9251 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9252 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9253 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9254 [Geoff Thorpe]
9255
9256 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9257 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9258 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9259 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9260 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
9261 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9262
9263 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9264 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9265 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
9266
9267 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9268 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9269 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9270 EVP_cleanup().
9271 [Richard Levitte]
9272
9273 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9274 being properly terminated.
9275 [Richard Levitte]
9276
9277 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9278 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9279 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9280 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
9281
9282 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9283 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9284 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9285 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9286 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9287 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9288 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9289 change.
9290 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9291
9292 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9293 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9294 [Bodo Moeller]
9295
9296 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9297 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9298 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9299 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9300 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9301 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9302 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9303 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
9304
9305 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9306 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9307 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9308 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9309 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9310
9311 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9312 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9313 [Steve Henson]
9314
9315 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9316
9317 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9318 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9319 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9320
9321 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9322
9323 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9324 and get fix the header length calculation.
9325 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9326 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9327 Steve Henson]
9328
9329 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9330 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9331 assertions could call abort()).
9332 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9333
9334 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9335
9336 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9337 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9338 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9339 supplied buffer.
9340 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9341
9342 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9343 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9344 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9345 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9346
9347 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9348 [Nils Larsch]
9349
9350 *) New option
9351 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9352 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9353 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9354
9355 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9356 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9357 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9358 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9359 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9360 applications.
9361 [Bodo Moeller]
9362
9363 *) Changes in security patch:
9364
9365 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9366 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9367 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9368 F30602-01-2-0537.
9369
9370 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9371 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9372 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9373 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9374 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9375
9376 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9377 happen in practice.
9378 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9379
9380 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9381 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9382 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9383
9384 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9385 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9386 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9387
9388 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9389 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9390 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9391
9392 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9393
9394 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9395 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9396 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9397
9398 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9399 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9400
9401 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9402 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9403 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9404 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9405 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9406 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9407 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9408
9409 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9410 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9411 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9412 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9413 [Bodo Moeller]
9414
9415 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9416 [Bodo Moeller]
9417
9418 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9419 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9420 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9421 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9422 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9423 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9424
9425 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9426 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9427 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9428 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9429 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9430 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9431
9432 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9433 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9434 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9435 BN_generate_prime().)
9436
9437 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9438 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9439 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9440 better.
9441 [Bodo Moeller]
9442
9443 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9444 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9445 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9446
9447 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9448 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9449 when using non-blocking I/O.
9450 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9451
9452 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9453 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9454
9455 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9456 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9457 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9458
9459 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9460 configuration for the versions before that.
9461 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9462
9463 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9464 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9465 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9466 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9467 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9468
9469 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9470 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9471 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9472 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9473
9474 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9475 value is 0.
9476 [Richard Levitte]
9477
9478 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9479 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9480 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9481
9482 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9483 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9484
9485 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9486 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9487 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9488 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9489 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9490 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9491 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9492 session cache.
9493
9494 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9495 using a local variable.
9496 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9497
9498 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9499 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9500 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9501
9502 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9503 [Richard Levitte]
9504
9505 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9506 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9507
9508 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9509 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9510 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9511
9512 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9513
9514 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9515 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9516 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9517 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9518 [Bodo Moeller]
9519
9520 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9521 present.
9522 [Steve Henson]
9523
9524 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9525 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9526 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9527 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9528 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9529
9530 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9531 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9532 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9533
9534 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9535 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9536 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9537
9538 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9539 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9540 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9541 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9542
9543 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9544 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9545 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9546 modules).
9547 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9548
9549 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9550 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9551 from 0.9.7.
9552 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9553
9554 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9555 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9556 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9557 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9558
9559 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9560 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9561 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9562 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9563
9564 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9565 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9566
9567 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9568 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9569 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9570 [Bodo Moeller]
9571
9572 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9573 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9574 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9575 become invalid.
9576 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9577
9578 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9579 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9580 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9581 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9582 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9583 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9584 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9585 [Bodo Moeller]
9586
9587 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9588 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9589 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9590 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9591
9592 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9593 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9594 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9595 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9596 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9597 the client will at least see that alert.
9598 [Bodo Moeller]
9599
9600 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9601 correctly.
9602 [Bodo Moeller]
9603
9604 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9605 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9606 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9607
9608 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9609 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9610 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9611 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9612 HelloRequest.
9613
9614 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9615 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9616 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9617
9618 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9619 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9620 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9621 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9622 may leak via logfiles.)
9623
9624 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9625 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9626 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9627 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9628 the legal range.
9629 [Bodo Moeller]
9630
9631 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9632 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9633 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9634
9635 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9636 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9637 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9638 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9639 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9640 [Bodo Moeller]
9641
9642 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9643 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9644
9645 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9646 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9647 followed by modular reduction.
9648 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9649
9650 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9651 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9652 [Bodo Moeller]
9653
9654 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9655 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9656 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9657 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9658 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9659
9660 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9661 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9662
9663 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9664 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9665 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9666
9667 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9668 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9669 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9670 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9671 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9672 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9673 automatically.
9674 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9675
9676 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9677 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9678 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9679 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9680 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9681
9682 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9683 [Andy Polyakov]
9684
9685 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9686 specifically for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9687 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9688 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9689 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9690 to allow the necessary settings.
9691 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9692
9693 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9694 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9695 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9696 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9697 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9698
9699 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9700 dh->length and always used
9701
9702 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9703
9704 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9705 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9706 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9707 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9708 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9709 dh->length.
9710
9711 So switch back to
9712
9713 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9714
9715 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9716 otherwise.
9717 [Bodo Moeller]
9718
9719 *) In
9720
9721 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9722 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9723 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9724 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9725
9726 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9727 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9728 always reject numbers >= n.
9729 [Bodo Moeller]
9730
9731 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9732 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9733 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9734 variable) is not atomic.
9735 [Bodo Moeller]
9736
9737 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9738 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9739 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9740 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9741
9742 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9743 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9744
9745 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9746 little-endian MIPS.
9747 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9748
9749 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9750 [Richard Levitte]
9751
9752 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9753
9754 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9755 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9756 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9757 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9758 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9759 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9760 to traverse all of 'state'.
9761
9762 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9763 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9764 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9765
9766 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9767 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9768
9769 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9770 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9771 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9772 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9773 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9774 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9775 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9776 further strengthens the PRNG.
9777 [Bodo Moeller]
9778
9779 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9780 [Andy Polyakov]
9781
9782 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9783 an error message in this case.
9784 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9785
9786 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9787 [Steve Henson]
9788
9789 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9790 positive and less than q.
9791 [Bodo Moeller]
9792
9793 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9794 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9795 that itself.
9796 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9797
9798 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9799 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9800 [Bodo Moeller]
9801
9802 *) Fix OAEP check.
9803 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9804
9805 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9806 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9807 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9808 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9809 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9810 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9811 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9812 paper.)
9813
9814 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9815 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9816 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9817 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9818
9819 Both problems are now fixed.
9820 [Bodo Moeller]
9821
9822 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9823 (previously it was 1024).
9824 [Bodo Moeller]
9825
9826 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9827 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9828 [Steve Henson]
9829
9830 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9831 [Steve Henson]
9832
9833 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9834 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9835 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9836 [Steve Henson]
9837
9838 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9839 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9840 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9841 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9842 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9843 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9844 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9845 environment variables.
9846
9847 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9848 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9849 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9850 [Bodo Moeller]
9851
9852 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9853 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9854 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9855 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9856 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9857 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9858 [Bodo Moeller]
9859
9860 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9861 versions of 'test'.
9862 [Bodo Moeller]
9863
9864 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9865
9866 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9867 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9868
9869 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9870 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9871 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9872 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9873 CygWin.
9874 [Richard Levitte]
9875
9876 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9877 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9878 amount of data available.
9879 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9880 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9881
9882 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9883 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9884 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9885 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9886 [Bodo Moeller]
9887
9888 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9889 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9890 and UnixWare.
9891 [Richard Levitte]
9892
9893 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9894 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9895 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9896 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9897 [Ulf Moeller]
9898
9899 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9900 [Andy Polyakov]
9901
9902 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9903 [Richard Levitte]
9904
9905 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9906 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9907 [Steve Henson]
9908 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9909
9910 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9911 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9912 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9913 (but broken) behaviour.
9914 [Steve Henson]
9915
9916 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9917 it when found.
9918 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9919
9920 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9921 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9922 [Bodo Moeller]
9923
9924 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9925 did not exist.
9926 [Bodo Moeller]
9927
9928 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9929 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9930
9931 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9932 [Richard Levitte]
9933
9934 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9935 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9936 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9937
9938 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9939 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9940 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9941 [Steve Henson]
9942
9943 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9944 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9945 [Ulf Moeller]
9946
9947 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9948 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9949
9950 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9951
9952 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9953
9954 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9955 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9956 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9957 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9958 [Bodo Moeller]
9959
9960 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9961 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9962
9963 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9964 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9965 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9966
9967 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9968 was empty.
9969 [Steve Henson]
9970 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9971
9972 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9973 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9974 but the code is actually correct.
9975 [Steve Henson]
9976
9977 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9978 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9979 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9980 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9981 and leaves the highest bit random.
9982 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9983
9984 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9985 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9986 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9987 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9988 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9989 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9990 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9991 [Bodo Moeller]
9992
9993 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9994 [Ulf Moeller]
9995
9996 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9997 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9998 [Steve Henson]
9999
10000 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
10001 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
10002 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
10003 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
10004 headers.
10005 [Richard Levitte]
10006
10007 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
10008 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
10009 and break the signature.
10010 [Steve Henson]
10011 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
10012
10013 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
10014 DH ciphersuites.
10015 [Steve Henson]
10016
10017 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
10018 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
10019 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
10020 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
10021 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
10022 [Bodo Moeller]
10023
10024 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
10025 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
10026
10027 *) ./config script fixes.
10028 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
10029
10030 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
10031 [Bodo Moeller]
10032
10033 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
10034 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
10035 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
10036 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
10037 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
10038
10039 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
10040 call failed, free the DSA structure.
10041 [Bodo Moeller]
10042
10043 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
10044 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
10045 [Steve Henson]
10046
10047 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
10048 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
10049 when writing a 32767 byte record.
10050 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
10051
10052 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
10053 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
10054
10055 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
10056 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
10057 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
10058 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
10059 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
10060
10061 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
10062 [Bodo Moeller]
10063
10064 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
10065 [Ulf Möller]
10066
10067 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
10068 [Ulf Möller]
10069
10070 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
10071 [Bodo Moeller]
10072
10073 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
10074 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
10075 [Bodo Moeller]
10076
10077 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
10078 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
10079 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
10080 result of the server certificate verification.)
10081 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10082
10083 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
10084 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
10085 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
10086 [Bodo Moeller]
10087
10088 *) Fix SSL_peek:
10089 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
10090 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
10091 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
10092 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
10093 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
10094 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
10095 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
10096 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
10097 [Bodo Moeller]
10098
10099 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
10100 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
10101 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
10102 happening the other way round.
10103 [Geoff Thorpe]
10104
10105 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
10106 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
10107 [Bodo Moeller]
10108
10109 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
10110 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
10111 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
10112 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
10113 [Richard Levitte]
10114
10115 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
10116 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
10117
10118 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
10119
10120 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
10121 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
10122 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
10123 that.
10124
10125 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
10126
10127 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
10128
10129 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
10130 static ones.
10131 [Richard Levitte]
10132
10133 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
10134
10135 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
10136 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
10137 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
10138 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
10139 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
10140
10141 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
10142 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
10143 matter what.
10144 [Richard Levitte]
10145
10146 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
10147 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10148
10149 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
10150
10151 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
10152 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
10153 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
10154 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
10155 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
10156 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
10157 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
10158 by the Finished messages.
10159 [Bodo Moeller]
10160
10161 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
10162 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
10163
10164 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10165 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10166 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10167 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10168 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10169 appropriately.
10170 [Steve Henson]
10171
10172 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10173 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10174 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10175 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10176 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10177 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10178 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10179 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10180 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10181 together.
10182 [Steve Henson]
10183
10184 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10185 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10186 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10187 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10188
10189 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10190 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10191 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10192 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10193 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10194 the answer.
10195
10196 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10197 been tested well enough.
10198 [Richard Levitte]
10199
10200 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10201 it can return incorrect results.
10202 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10203 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10204 [Bodo Moeller]
10205
10206 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10207 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10208 include zero length content when signing messages.
10209 [Steve Henson]
10210
10211 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10212 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10213 [Bodo Möller]
10214
10215 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10216 [Richard Levitte]
10217
10218 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10219 wrong sign.
10220 [Ulf Möller]
10221
10222 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10223 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10224 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10225 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10226 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10227 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
10228 [Richard Levitte]
10229
10230 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10231 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10232
10233 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10234 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
10235
10236 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10237 random number < q in the DSA library.
10238 [Ulf Möller]
10239
10240 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10241 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10242 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10243 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10244 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10245 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10246 just makes things more complicated.)
10247 [Bodo Moeller]
10248
10249 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10250 from EGD.
10251 [Ben Laurie]
10252
10253 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10254 work better on such systems.
10255 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10256
10257 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10258 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10259 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10260 [Steve Henson]
10261
10262 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10263 if there was more than one signature.
10264 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
10265
10266 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10267 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10268 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10269 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10270 [Richard Levitte]
10271
10272 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10273 rather than always using the current time.
10274 [Steve Henson]
10275
10276 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10277 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10278 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10279 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10280 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10281 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10282
10283 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10284 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10285
10286 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10287
10288 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10289 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10290 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10291 the same hash value.
10292
10293 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10294 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10295 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10296 with X509_STORE internally.
10297
10298 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10299 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10300
10301 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10302 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10303 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10304 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10305 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10306 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10307 entirely (maybe later...).
10308
10309 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10310
10311 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10312 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10313 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10314 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10315 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10316 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10317 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10318 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10319
10320 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10321 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10322
10323 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10324 to customise the verify behaviour.
10325 [Steve Henson]
10326
10327 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10328 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10329 [Steve Henson]
10330
10331 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10332 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10333 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10334 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10335 request is improperly encoded.
10336 [Steve Henson]
10337
10338 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10339 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10340 BIO_write(b, ...).
10341
10342 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10343 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10344
10345 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10346 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10347 words set to zero.)
10348 [Bodo Moeller]
10349
10350 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10351 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10352 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10353 [Bodo Moeller]
10354
10355 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10356 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10357 BIO/fp routines also added.
10358 [Steve Henson]
10359
10360 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10361 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10362
10363 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10364 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10365 demos/state_machine.
10366 [Ben Laurie]
10367
10368 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10369 generation and verification.
10370 [Steve Henson]
10371
10372 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10373 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10374 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10375 encode and decode it manually.
10376 [Steve Henson]
10377
10378 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10379 compile under VC++.
10380 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10381
10382 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10383 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10384 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10385 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10386
10387 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10388 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10389 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10390 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10391 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10392 [Steve Henson]
10393
10394 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10395 [Richard Levitte]
10396
10397 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10398 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10399 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10400
10401 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10402 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10403 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10404 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10405 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10406 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10407 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10408 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10409
10410 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10411 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10412
10413 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10414
10415 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10416 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10417 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10418
10419 [Richard Levitte]
10420
10421 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10422 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10423 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10424 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10425 [Richard Levitte]
10426
10427 *) MD4 implemented.
10428 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10429
10430 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10431 [Richard Levitte]
10432
10433 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10434 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10435 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10436 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10437 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10438 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10439 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10440 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10441 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10442 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10443 short or long names are found.
10444 [Steve Henson]
10445
10446 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10447 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10448
10449 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10450 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10451 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10452 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10453
10454 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10455 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10456 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10457 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10458 [Bodo Moeller]
10459
10460 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10461 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10462 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10463 [Richard Levitte]
10464
10465 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10466 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10467 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10468 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10469 to allow the various flags to be set.
10470 [Steve Henson]
10471
10472 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10473 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10474 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10475 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10476 dates to be checked.
10477 [Steve Henson]
10478
10479 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10480 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10481 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10482 [Steve Henson]
10483
10484 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10485 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10486 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10487 [Steve Henson]
10488
10489 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10490 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10491 [Bodo Moeller]
10492
10493 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10494 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10495 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10496 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10497 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10498 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10499 [Richard Levitte]
10500
10501 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10502 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10503 Random Numbers.
10504 [Ulf Möller]
10505
10506 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10507 DSA key.
10508 [Steve Henson]
10509
10510 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10511 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10512 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10513 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10514 form signing output easier to verify.
10515 [Steve Henson]
10516
10517 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10518 [Steve Henson]
10519
10520 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10521 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10522 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10523 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10524 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10525 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10526 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10527 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10528 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10529 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10530 [Steve Henson]
10531
10532 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10533
10534 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10535 the syntax given in objects.README.
10536 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10537 obj_mac.h.
10538 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10539 obj_mac.h.
10540
10541 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10542 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10543 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10544 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10545 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10546 consistent name changes.
10547 [Richard Levitte]
10548
10549 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10550 [Bodo Moeller]
10551
10552 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10553 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10554 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10555 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10556 [Richard Levitte]
10557
10558 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10559 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10560 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10561 of safestack.h .
10562 [Steve Henson]
10563
10564 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10565 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10566 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10567 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10568 [Steve Henson]
10569
10570 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10571 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10572 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10573 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10574 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10575 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10576 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10577 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10578 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10579 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10580 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10581 [Steve Henson]
10582
10583 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10584 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10585 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10586 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10587 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10588 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10589 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10590 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10591 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10592 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10593 [Steve Henson]
10594
10595 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10596 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10597 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10598 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10599
10600 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10601 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10602 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10603 omit any duplicate addresses.
10604 [Steve Henson]
10605
10606 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10607 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10608 [Bodo Moeller]
10609
10610 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10611 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10612 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10613 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10614 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10615 [Bodo Moeller]
10616
10617 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10618 software:
10619 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10620 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10621 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10622 Free => OPENSSL_free
10623 [Richard Levitte]
10624
10625 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10626 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10627 [Bodo Moeller]
10628
10629 *) CygWin32 support.
10630 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10631
10632 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10633 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10634 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10635 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10636 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10637 approach.
10638 [Geoff Thorpe]
10639
10640 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10641 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10642 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10643 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10644 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10645 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10646 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10647 [Geoff Thorpe]
10648
10649 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10650 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10651 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10652 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10653 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10654 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10655 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10656 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10657 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10658 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10659 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10660 [Bodo Moeller]
10661
10662 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10663 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10664 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10665 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10666 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10667
10668 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10669 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10670 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10671 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10672 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10673
10674 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10675 ciphers.
10676
10677 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10678 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10679 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10680 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10681
10682 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10683
10684 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10685 of macros.
10686
10687 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10688 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10689 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10690 flags.
10691
10692 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10693 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10694 any installed hardware versions can.
10695 [Steve Henson]
10696
10697 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10698 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10699 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10700 number.
10701 [Bodo Moeller]
10702
10703 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10704 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10705 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10706 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10707 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10708
10709 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10710 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10711 [Steve Henson]
10712
10713 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10714 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10715 [Richard Levitte]
10716
10717 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10718 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10719 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10720 features.
10721 [Steve Henson]
10722
10723 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10724 [Ulf Möller]
10725
10726 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10727 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10728 but no ssl client purpose.
10729 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10730
10731 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10732 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10733 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10734 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10735 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10736 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10737 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10738 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10739 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10740 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10741 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10742 [Steve Henson]
10743
10744 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10745 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10746 be obtained from the error queue.
10747 [Bodo Moeller]
10748
10749 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10750 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10751 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10752 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10753 [Bodo Moeller]
10754
10755 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10756 [Ulf Möller]
10757
10758 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10759 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10760 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10761 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10762 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10763 [Geoff Thorpe]
10764
10765 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10766 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10767 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10768 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10769 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10770 [Geoff Thorpe]
10771
10772 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10773 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10774 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10775 may not be NULL.
10776 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10777
10778 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10779 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10780 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10781 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10782 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10783 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10784 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10785 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10786 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10787 or "the configuration storage API"...
10788
10789 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10790
10791 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10792 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10793
10794 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10795
10796 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10797
10798 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10799 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10800 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10801 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10802 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10803 arguments as the old CONF_* functions with the exception of the
10804 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10805
10806 To make it easier to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10807 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10808 [Richard Levitte]
10809
10810 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10811 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10812 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10813 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10814 [Bodo Moeller]
10815
10816 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10817 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10818 them in a portable way.
10819 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10820
10821 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10822
10823 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10824
10825 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10826 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10827
10828 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10829 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10830 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10831 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10832
10833 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10834 was larger than the MD block size.
10835 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10836
10837 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10838 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10839 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10840 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10841 components.
10842 [Steve Henson]
10843
10844 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10845 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10846 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10847
10848 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10849 discouraged.
10850 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10851
10852 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10853 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10854 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10855 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10856 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10857 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10858
10859 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10860 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10861
10862 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10863 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10864 [Bodo Moeller]
10865
10866 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10867 [Bodo Moeller]
10868
10869 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10870 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10871 its own key.
10872 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10873 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10874 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10875 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10876 [Bodo Moeller]
10877
10878 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10879 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10880 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10881 does not suppress any output.
10882 [Richard Levitte]
10883
10884 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10885 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10886 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10887 with all the associated security issues.
10888
10889 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10890 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10891 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10892 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10893 use the value in the default purpose.
10894 [Steve Henson]
10895
10896 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10897 and fix a memory leak.
10898 [Steve Henson]
10899
10900 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10901 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10902 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10903 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10904 [Bodo Moeller]
10905
10906 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10907 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10908 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10909 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10910 [Bodo Moeller]
10911
10912 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10913 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10914 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10915 [Bodo Moeller]
10916
10917 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10918 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10919 [Bodo Moeller]
10920
10921 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10922 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10923 which was free.
10924 [Steve Henson]
10925
10926 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10927 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10928 [Bodo Moeller]
10929
10930 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10931 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10932 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10933 [Bodo Moeller]
10934
10935 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10936 number generation fails.
10937 [Bodo Moeller]
10938
10939 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10940 [Bodo Moeller]
10941
10942 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10943 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10944
10945 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10946 [Ulf Möller]
10947
10948 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10949 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10950
10951 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10952 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10953
10954 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10955
10956 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10957 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10958 [Steve Henson]
10959
10960 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10961 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10962
10963 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10964 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10965 [Ulf Möller]
10966
10967 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10968 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10969 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10970 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10971 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10972 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10973
10974 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10975 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10976 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10977 for example.
10978 [Steve Henson]
10979
10980 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10981 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10982 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10983 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10984 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10985 counter, some don't.)
10986 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10987 counters or duplicate objects.
10988 [Steve Henson]
10989
10990 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10991 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10992 [Steve Henson]
10993
10994 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10995 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10996 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10997
10998 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10999 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
11000 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
11001 or -rand.
11002 [Ulf Möller]
11003
11004 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
11005 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
11006 [Steve Henson]
11007
11008 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
11009 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
11010 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
11011 cipher list.
11012 [Steve Henson]
11013
11014 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
11015 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
11016 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
11017 [Steve Henson]
11018
11019 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
11020 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
11021 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
11022 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
11023 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
11024 should work without changes.
11025 [Richard Levitte]
11026
11027 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
11028 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
11029 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
11030 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
11031 must be defined. E.g.,
11032 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
11033 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
11034 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
11035 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
11036
11037 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
11038 record layer.
11039 [Bodo Moeller]
11040
11041 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
11042 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
11043 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
11044 [Steve Henson]
11045
11046 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
11047 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
11048 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
11049 request header lines. Some software needs this.
11050 [Steve Henson]
11051
11052 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
11053 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
11054 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
11055 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
11056 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
11057 is prompted for as usual.
11058 [Steve Henson]
11059
11060 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
11061 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
11062 autodetect the card and use it if present.
11063 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
11064
11065 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
11066 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
11067 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
11068 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
11069 [Steve Henson]
11070
11071 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
11072 [Andy Polyakov]
11073
11074 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
11075 of seed file.
11076 [Steve Henson]
11077
11078 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
11079 [Bodo Moeller]
11080
11081 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
11082 [Steve Henson]
11083
11084 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
11085 bits.
11086 [Ulf Möller]
11087
11088 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
11089 [Ulf Möller]
11090
11091 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
11092 [Andy Polyakov]
11093
11094 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
11095 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
11096 [Ulf Möller]
11097
11098 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
11099 options to produce them.
11100 [Steve Henson]
11101
11102 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
11103 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
11104 [Ulf Möller]
11105
11106 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
11107 for p == 0.
11108 [Ulf Möller]
11109
11110 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
11111 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
11112 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
11113 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
11114 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
11115 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
11116 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
11117 [Steve Henson]
11118
11119 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
11120 [Steve Henson]
11121
11122 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
11123 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
11124 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
11125 [Bodo Moeller]
11126
11127 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
11128 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
11129
11130 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
11131 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
11132 [Ulf Möller]
11133
11134 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
11135 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
11136 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
11137 has already seen).
11138 [Bodo Moeller]
11139
11140 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
11141 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
11142
11143 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
11144 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
11145 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
11146 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
11147 generation becomes much faster.
11148
11149 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
11150 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
11151 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
11152 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
11153 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
11154 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
11155 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
11156 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
11157 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
11158 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
11159 [Bodo Moeller]
11160
11161 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
11162 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
11163 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
11164 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11165 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11166 trial division stage.
11167 [Bodo Moeller]
11168
11169 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11170 as ASN1_TIME.
11171 [Steve Henson]
11172
11173 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11174 [Steve Henson]
11175
11176 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11177 [Ulf Möller]
11178
11179 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11180 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11181 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11182 the comments.
11183 [Ulf Möller]
11184
11185 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11186 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11187 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11188 [Bodo Moeller]
11189
11190 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11191 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11192 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11193 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11194
11195 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11196 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11197 [Steve Henson]
11198
11199 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11200 [Ulf Möller]
11201
11202 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11203 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11204 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11205 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11206 [Ulf Möller]
11207
11208 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11209 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11210 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11211 [Ulf Möller]
11212
11213 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11214 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11215 (instead of parameters) in future.
11216 [Steve Henson]
11217
11218 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11219 when a new cipher list is set.
11220 [Steve Henson]
11221
11222 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11223 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11224 wrong.
11225
11226 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11227 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11228 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11229
11230 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11231 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11232 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11233 an error is flagged.
11234
11235 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11236 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11237 the readability was also increased :-)
11238 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
11239
11240 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11241 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11242 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11243 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11244 as the root CA.
11245 [Steve Henson]
11246
11247 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11248 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11249 [Steve Henson]
11250
11251 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11252 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11253 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11254 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11255 instead.
11256
11257 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11258 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11259 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11260 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11261 because they handle more complex structures.)
11262 [Steve Henson]
11263
11264 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11265 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11266 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11267 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11268
11269 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11270 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11271 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11272 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11273 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11274 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11275 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11276 [Ulf Möller]
11277
11278 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11279 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11280 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11281 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11282 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11283 [Bodo Moeller]
11284
11285 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11286 [Bodo Moeller]
11287
11288 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11289 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11290 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11291 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11292 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11293 to use this.
11294
11295 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11296 code.
11297 [Steve Henson]
11298
11299 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11300 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11301 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11302 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11303 [Steve Henson]
11304
11305 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11306 [Ulf Möller]
11307
11308 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11309 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11310 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11311 international characters are used.
11312
11313 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11314 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11315 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11316 in ASN1 order.
11317 [Steve Henson]
11318
11319 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11320 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11321 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11322 request.
11323
11324 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11325 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11326 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11327 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11328 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11329 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11330
11331 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11332 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11333 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11334 be handled by the string table functions.
11335
11336 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11337 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11338 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11339 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11340 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11341 types at all.
11342 [Steve Henson]
11343
11344 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11345 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11346 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11347 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11348 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11349
11350 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11351 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11352 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11353 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11354 [Bodo Moeller]
11355
11356 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11357 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11358 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11359 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11360 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11361 SHA1.
11362 [Andy Polyakov]
11363
11364 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11365 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11366 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11367 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11368 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11369 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11370 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11371 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11372
11373 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11374 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11375 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11376 [Steve Henson]
11377
11378 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11379 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11380 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11381 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11382 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11383 support to pkcs8 application.
11384 [Steve Henson]
11385
11386 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11387 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11388 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11389 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11390 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11391 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11392 [Bodo Moeller]
11393
11394 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11395 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11396 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11397 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11398 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11399 consistency.
11400 [Bodo Moeller]
11401
11402 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11403 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11404 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11405 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11406 example.
11407 [Steve Henson]
11408
11409 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11410 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11411 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11412 and any application specific purposes.
11413
11414 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11415 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11416 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11417 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11418 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11419 if the certificate is self signed.
11420 [Steve Henson]
11421
11422 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11423 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11424 [Steve Henson]
11425
11426 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11427 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11428 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11429 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11430 [Steve Henson]
11431
11432 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11433 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11434 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11435 Update documentation.
11436 [Steve Henson]
11437
11438 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11439 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11440 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11441 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11442 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11443 [Steve Henson]
11444
11445 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11446 for details.
11447 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11448
11449 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11450 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11451 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11452 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11453 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11454 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11455 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11456 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11457 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11458 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11459
11460 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11461
11462 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11463 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11464 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11465 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11466 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11467
11468 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11469 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11470 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11471 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11472 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11473 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11474 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11475 request additional information:
11476 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11477 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11478
11479 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11480 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11481 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11482 options.
11483
11484 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11485 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11486
11487 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11488 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11489 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11490
11491 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11492 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11493
11494 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11495 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11496 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11497 algorithm.
11498 [Steve Henson]
11499
11500 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11501 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11502 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11503
11504 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11505 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11506 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11507 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11508 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11509 included in OpenSSL.
11510 [Steve Henson]
11511
11512 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11513 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11514 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11515 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11516 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11517 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11518 [Bodo Moeller]
11519
11520 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11521 PKCS12 structure.
11522 [Steve Henson]
11523
11524 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11525 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11526 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11527 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11528 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11529 structure.
11530 [Steve Henson]
11531
11532 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11533 need initialising.
11534 [Steve Henson]
11535
11536 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11537 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11538 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11539 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11540 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11541 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11542 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11543 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11544 be maintained manually.
11545
11546 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11547 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11548 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11549 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11550 work because people forget to call this function]
11551 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11552 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11553 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11554 [Steve Henson]
11555
11556 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11557 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11558 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11559 should be discouraged from doing it.
11560 [Ben Laurie]
11561
11562 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11563 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11564 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11565 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11566 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11567 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11568 [Steve Henson]
11569
11570 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11571 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11572 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11573
11574 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11575 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11576 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11577
11578 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11579 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11580 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11581 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11582 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11583 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11584
11585 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11586 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11587 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11588
11589 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11590 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11591 and vice versa.
11592
11593 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11594 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11595 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11596 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11597 [Steve Henson]
11598
11599 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11600 [Steve Henson]
11601
11602 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11603 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11604 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11605 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11606 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11607 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11608 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11609 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11610 keys so we should be OK.
11611
11612 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11613 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11614 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11615 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11616 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11617 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11618 stay in the name of compatibility.
11619
11620 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11621 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11622 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11623
11624 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11625 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11626 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11627 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11628 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11629 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11630 supplied key).
11631 [Steve Henson]
11632
11633 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11634 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11635 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11636 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11637 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11638 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11639 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11640 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11641 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11642 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11643 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11644 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11645 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11646 [Steve Henson]
11647
11648 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11649 [Steve Henson]
11650
11651 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11652 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11653 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11654 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11655 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11656 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11657 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11658 openssl verify ss.pem
11659 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11660 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11661 is OK.
11662 [Steve Henson]
11663
11664 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11665 (and add it to external session representation).
11666 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11667 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11668 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11669 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11670 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11671 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11672 security holes.
11673 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11674
11675 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11676 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11677 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11678 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11679
11680 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11681 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11682 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11683 [Steve Henson]
11684
11685 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11686 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11687 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11688 code.
11689 [Steve Henson]
11690
11691 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11692 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11693 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11694
11695 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11696 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11697 certificate auxiliary information.
11698 [Steve Henson]
11699
11700 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11701 the 'enc' command.
11702 [Steve Henson]
11703
11704 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11705 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11706 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11707 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11708 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11709 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11710 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11711 [Richard Levitte]
11712
11713 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11714 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11715 [Steve Henson]
11716
11717 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11718 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11719 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11720 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11721 [Steve Henson]
11722
11723 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11724 [Steve Henson]
11725
11726 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11727 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11728 [Steve Henson]
11729
11730 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11731 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11732 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11733 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11734 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11735 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11736 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11737 using the new 'x509' options.
11738
11739 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11740 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11741 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11742 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11743 for all purposes.
11744 [Steve Henson]
11745
11746 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11747 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11748 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11749 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11750 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11751 [Mark Cox]
11752
11753 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11754 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11755 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11756 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11757 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11758 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11759 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11760 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11761 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11762 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11763 [Steve Henson]
11764
11765 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11766 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11767 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11768 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11769 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11770 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11771 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11772 [Steve Henson]
11773
11774 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11775 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11776 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11777 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11778 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11779 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11780 openssl.cnf for more info.
11781 [Steve Henson]
11782
11783 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11784 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11785 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11786 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11787 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11788 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11789 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11790 md should be large enough anyway.
11791 [Bodo Moeller]
11792
11793 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11794 for handling the random seed file.
11795
11796 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11797 ca,
11798 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11799 s_client,
11800 s_server,
11801 x509 (when signing).
11802 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11803 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11804 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11805
11806 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11807 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11808 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11809 that support '-rand'.
11810 [Bodo Moeller]
11811
11812 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11813 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11814 [Bodo Moeller]
11815
11816 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11817 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11818 [Bill Perry]
11819
11820 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11821 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11822 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11823 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11824 is suitable.
11825 [Steve Henson]
11826
11827 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11828 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11829 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11830 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11831 [Steve Henson]
11832
11833 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11834 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11835 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11836 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11837 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11838 print out all the purposes.
11839 [Steve Henson]
11840
11841 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11842 functions.
11843 [Steve Henson]
11844
11845 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11846 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11847 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11848 single function call.
11849 [Steve Henson]
11850
11851 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11852 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11853 [Andy Polyakov]
11854
11855 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11856 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11857 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11858 [Steve Henson]
11859
11860 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11861 when producing the local key id.
11862 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11863
11864 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11865 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11866 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11867 "server.pem".
11868 [Steve Henson]
11869
11870 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11871 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11872 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11873 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11874 [Steve Henson]
11875
11876 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11877 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11878 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11879 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11880
11881 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11882 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11883 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11884 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11885
11886 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11887 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11888 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11889 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11890 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11891 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11892 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11893 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11894 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11895 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11896 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11897 trivial: move one line.
11898 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11899
11900 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11901 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11902 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11903 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11904 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11905 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11906 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11907 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11908 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11909 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11910 with an event loop for example.
11911 [Steve Henson]
11912
11913 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11914 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11915 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11916 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11917 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11918 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11919 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11920 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11921 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11922 [Steve Henson]
11923
11924 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11925 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11926 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11927 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11928 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11929 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11930 [Steve Henson]
11931
11932 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11933 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11934 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11935 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11936
11937 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11938 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11939 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11940 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11941 key generation.
11942 [Steve Henson]
11943
11944 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11945 (still largely untested)
11946 [Bodo Moeller]
11947
11948 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11949 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11950 [Steve Henson]
11951
11952 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11953 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11954 [Steve Henson]
11955
11956 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11957 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11958 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11959 [Bodo Moeller]
11960
11961 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11962 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11963 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11964 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11965 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11966 [Steve Henson]
11967
11968 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11969 [Andy Polyakov]
11970
11971 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11972 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11973 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11974 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11975 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11976 in ca.
11977 [Steve Henson]
11978
11979 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11980 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11981 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11982 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11983 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11984 [Steve Henson]
11985
11986 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11987 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11988 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11989 are otherwise ignored at present.
11990 [Steve Henson]
11991
11992 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11993 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11994 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11995 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11996 copied until the next read.
11997 [Steve Henson]
11998
11999 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
12000 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
12001 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
12002 [Steve Henson]
12003
12004 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
12005 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
12006 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
12007 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
12008 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
12009 associated functions.
12010 [Steve Henson]
12011
12012 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
12013 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
12014 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
12015 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
12016 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
12017 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
12018 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
12019 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
12020 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
12021 memory BIOs.
12022 [Steve Henson]
12023
12024 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
12025 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
12026 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
12027 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
12028 [Bodo Moeller]
12029
12030 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
12031 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
12032 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
12033 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
12034 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
12035 functionality.
12036 [Steve Henson]
12037
12038 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
12039 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
12040 under Win32.
12041 [Steve Henson]
12042
12043 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
12044 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
12045 extensions to be obtained and added.
12046 [Steve Henson]
12047
12048 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
12049 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
12050 [Bodo Moeller]
12051
12052 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
12053
12054 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12055 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12056
12057 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
12058 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
12059
12060 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
12061 program.
12062 [Steve Henson]
12063
12064 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
12065 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
12066 DH parameters contain its length).
12067
12068 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
12069 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
12070 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
12071 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
12072 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
12073 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
12074 utter importance to use
12075 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12076 or
12077 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12078 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
12079 attacks may become possible!
12080 [Bodo Moeller]
12081
12082 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
12083 [Bodo Moeller]
12084
12085 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
12086 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
12087 [Steve Henson]
12088
12089 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
12090 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
12091 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
12092 or long name.
12093 [Steve Henson]
12094
12095 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
12096 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
12097 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
12098 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
12099 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
12100 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
12101 private key operations.
12102 [Steve Henson]
12103
12104 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
12105 [Andy Polyakov]
12106
12107 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
12108 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
12109 to
12110 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
12111 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
12112 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
12113 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
12114 the password callback is called.
12115 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
12116
12117 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
12118
12119 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
12120 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
12121 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
12122 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
12123 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
12124 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
12125 this will work.
12126
12127 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
12128 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
12129 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
12130 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
12131 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
12132 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
12133 [Bodo Moeller]
12134
12135 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
12136 [Andy Polyakov]
12137
12138 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
12139 delete an unused file.
12140 [Ulf Möller]
12141
12142 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
12143 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
12144 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
12145 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
12146 [Steve Henson]
12147
12148 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
12149 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
12150 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
12151 of an error.
12152 [Bodo Moeller]
12153
12154 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
12155 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
12156 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
12157
12158 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
12159 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
12160 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
12161 comparison" warnings.
12162 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12163 [Steve Henson]
12164
12165 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12166 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12167 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12168 [Steve Henson]
12169
12170 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12171 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
12172
12173 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12174 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12175
12176 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12177 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12178 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12179
12180 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12181 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12182 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12183 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12184 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12185 this bug.
12186 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
12187
12188 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12189 The interface is as follows:
12190 Applications can use
12191 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12192 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12193 "off" is now the default.
12194 The library internally uses
12195 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12196 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12197 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12198
12199 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12200 even the default) are now avoided.
12201
12202 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12203 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12204 than just having a counter.
12205
12206 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12207
12208 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12209 extensions.
12210 [Bodo Moeller]
12211
12212 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12213 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12214 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12215 Initial "mode" flags are:
12216
12217 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12218 a single record has been written.
12219 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12220 retries use the same buffer location.
12221 (But all of the contents must be
12222 copied!)
12223 [Bodo Moeller]
12224
12225 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12226 worked.
12227
12228 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12229 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
12230
12231 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12232 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12233 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12234 [Steve Henson]
12235
12236 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12237 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12238 test programs.
12239 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12240
12241 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12242 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12243 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12244 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12245 point to the end.
12246 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12247 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
12248
12249 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12250 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12251 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12252 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12253 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12254 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12255 [Steve Henson]
12256
12257 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12258 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12259 necessary function names.
12260 [Steve Henson]
12261
12262 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12263 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12264 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12265 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12266 [Bodo Moeller]
12267
12268 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12269 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12270 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12271 [Steve Henson]
12272
12273 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12274 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12275 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12276 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12277 such programs?)
12278 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12279 need locks.
12280 [Bodo Moeller]
12281
12282 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12283 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12284 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12285 [Bodo Moeller]
12286
12287 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12288 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12289 appropriate.
12290 [Bodo Moeller]
12291
12292 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12293 for the encoded length.
12294 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12295
12296 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12297 [Steve Henson]
12298
12299 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12300 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12301 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12302 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12303 [Steve Henson]
12304
12305 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12306 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12307 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12308
12309 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12310 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12311 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12312 unusual formatting.
12313 [Steve Henson]
12314
12315 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12316 to use the new extension code.
12317 [Steve Henson]
12318
12319 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12320 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12321 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12322 constant.
12323 [Steve Henson]
12324
12325 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12326 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12327 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12328 [Bodo Moeller]
12329
12330#if 0
12331 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12332 [Ben Laurie]
12333#else
12334 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12335 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12336 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12337#endif
12338
12339 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12340 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12341 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12342 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12343 [Ben Laurie]
12344
12345 *) DES library cleanups.
12346 [Ulf Möller]
12347
12348 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12349 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12350 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12351 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12352 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12353 of v2.0.
12354 [Steve Henson]
12355
12356 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12357 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12358 [Bodo Moeller]
12359
12360 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12361 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12362 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12363 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12364 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12365 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12366 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12367 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12368 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12369 [Steve Henson]
12370
12371 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12372 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12373 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12374 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12375 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12376 value doesn't matter.
12377 [Steve Henson]
12378
12379 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12380 support mutable.
12381 [Ben Laurie]
12382
12383 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12384 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12385 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12386 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12387
12388 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12389 [Ulf Möller]
12390
12391 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12392 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12393 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12394
12395 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12396 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12397
12398 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12399 [Ben Laurie]
12400
12401 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12402 [Ben Laurie]
12403
12404 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12405 [Ben Laurie]
12406
12407 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12408 [Bodo Moeller]
12409
12410
12411 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12412
12413 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12414
12415 *) Updated some demos.
12416 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12417
12418 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12419 [Wu Zhigang]
12420
12421 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12422 [Steve Henson]
12423
12424 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12425 [Steve Henson]
12426
12427 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12428 instead of using a fixed path.
12429 [Bodo Moeller]
12430
12431 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12432 [Andy Polyakov]
12433
12434 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12435 [Richard Levitte]
12436
12437
12438 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12439
12440 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12441 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12442 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12443
12444 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12445 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12446 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12447 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12448 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12449 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12450 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12451 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12452 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12453 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12454 [Steve Henson]
12455
12456 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12457 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12458 [Steve Henson]
12459
12460 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12461 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12462 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12463 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12464 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12465
12466 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12467 [Bodo Moeller]
12468
12469 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12470 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12471 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12472 [Steve Henson]
12473
12474 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12475 [Ben Laurie]
12476
12477 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12478 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12479 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12480 key elements as negative integers.
12481 [Steve Henson]
12482
12483 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12484 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12485
12486 *) VMS support.
12487 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12488
12489 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12490 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12491 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12492 [Steve Henson]
12493
12494 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12495 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12496 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12497 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12498 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12499 [Bodo Moeller]
12500
12501 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12502 [Ulf Möller]
12503
12504 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12505 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12506 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12507 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12508
12509 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12510 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12511 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12512
12513 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12514 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12515 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12516 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12517 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12518 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12519 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12520 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12521 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12522
12523 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12524 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12525 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12526 does not influence s as it used to.
12527
12528 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12529 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12530 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12531 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12532 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12533 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12534 [Bodo Moeller]
12535
12536 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12537 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12538 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12539 key type.
12540 [Steve Henson]
12541
12542 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12543 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12544 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12545 and 'x509').
12546 [Steve Henson]
12547
12548 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12549 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12550 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12551 extension option.
12552 [Steve Henson]
12553
12554 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12555 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12556 [Ben Laurie]
12557
12558 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12559 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12560
12561 *) Support Mingw32.
12562 [Ulf Möller]
12563
12564 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12565 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12566
12567 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12568 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12569
12570 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12571 [Ulf Möller]
12572
12573 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12574 [Anonymous]
12575
12576 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12577 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12578
12579 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12580 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12581 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12582 DER-encoded.)
12583 [Bodo Moeller]
12584
12585 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12586 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12587 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12588 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12589 now it really counts the depth.
12590 [Bodo Moeller]
12591
12592 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12593 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12594 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12595 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12596 didn't match the private key).
12597
12598 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12599 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12600 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12601 [Bodo Moeller]
12602
12603 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12604 [Ulf Möller]
12605
12606 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12607 David Harris.
12608 [Bodo Moeller]
12609
12610 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12611 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12612 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12613 [Bodo Moeller]
12614
12615 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12616 [Bodo Moeller]
12617
12618 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12619 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12620 such as /usr/local/bin.
12621 [Bodo Moeller]
12622
12623 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12624 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12625
12626 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12627 [Ulf Möller]
12628
12629 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12630 extension adding in x509 utility.
12631 [Steve Henson]
12632
12633 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12634 [Ulf Möller]
12635
12636 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12637 prototypes.
12638 [Steve Henson]
12639
12640 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12641 [Ulf Möller]
12642
12643 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12644 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12645 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12646 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12647 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12648 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12649 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code embedded
12650 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12651 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12652 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12653 [Steve Henson]
12654
12655 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12656 [Bodo Moeller]
12657
12658 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12659 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12660 [Bodo Moeller]
12661
12662 *) Fix some race conditions.
12663 [Bodo Moeller]
12664
12665 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12666 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12667 [Steve Henson]
12668
12669 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12670 [Ulf Möller]
12671
12672 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12673 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12674 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12675 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12676
12677 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12678 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12679
12680 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12681 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12682 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12683
12684 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12685 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12686
12687 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12688 [Ulf Möller]
12689
12690 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12691 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12692
12693 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12694 [Ulf Möller]
12695
12696 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12697 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12698
12699 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12700 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12701 [Steve Henson]
12702
12703 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12704 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12705 [Ben Laurie]
12706
12707 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12708 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12709 [Steve Henson]
12710
12711 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12712 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12713 [Steve Henson]
12714
12715 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12716 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12717 [Steve Henson]
12718
12719 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12720 support typesafe stack.
12721 [Steve Henson]
12722
12723 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12724 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12725
12726 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12727 old X509V3 handling code.
12728 [Steve Henson]
12729
12730 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12731 [Ulf Möller]
12732
12733 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12734 [Bodo Moeller]
12735
12736 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12737 [Ben Laurie]
12738
12739 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12740 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12741
12742 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12743 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12744 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12745 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12746 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12747 [Ben Laurie]
12748
12749 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12750 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12751 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12752 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12753 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12754
12755 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12756 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12757 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12758 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12759
12760 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12761 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12762 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12763 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12764
12765 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12766 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12767 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12768 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12769 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12770 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12771 [Bodo Moeller]
12772
12773 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12774 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12775 [Bodo Moeller]
12776
12777 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12778 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12779 [Ulf Möller]
12780
12781 *) Tweaks to Configure
12782 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12783
12784 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12785 yet...
12786 [Steve Henson]
12787
12788 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12789 [Ulf Möller]
12790
12791 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12792 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12793 [Ulf Möller]
12794
12795 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12796 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12797 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12798 [Bodo Moeller]
12799
12800 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12801 [Bodo Moeller]
12802
12803 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12804 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12805 [Steve Henson]
12806
12807 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12808 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12809 to library startup routines.
12810 [Steve Henson]
12811
12812 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12813 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12814 codes along the way.
12815 [Steve Henson]
12816
12817 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12818 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12819 objects to objects.h
12820 [Steve Henson]
12821
12822 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12823 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12824 [Steve Henson]
12825
12826 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12827 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12828
12829 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12830 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12831 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12832
12833 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12834 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12835 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12836
12837 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12838 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12839 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12840
12841
12842 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12843
12844 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12845 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12846 [Ben Laurie]
12847
12848 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12849 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12850 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12851 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12852 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12853
12854 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12855 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12856 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12857 document.
12858 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12859
12860 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12861 Malloc, Free.
12862 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12863
12864 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12865 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12866
12867 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12868 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12869 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12870 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12871
12872 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12873 [Ben Laurie]
12874
12875 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12876 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12877 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12878 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12879 [Steve Henson]
12880
12881 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12882 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12883 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12884 [Steve Henson]
12885
12886 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12887 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12888 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12889 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12890 installed as `perl').
12891 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12892
12893 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12894 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12895
12896 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12897 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12898 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12899 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12900 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12901 [Steve Henson]
12902
12903 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12904 [Ben Laurie]
12905
12906 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12907 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12908 is horrible: I feel ill....
12909 [Steve Henson]
12910
12911 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12912 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12913 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12914 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12915 [Steve Henson]
12916
12917 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12918 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12919
12920 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12921 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12922 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12923 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12924
12925 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12926 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12927 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12928 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12929 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12930 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12931 openssl_bio.xs.
12932 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12933
12934 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12935 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12936
12937 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12938 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12939
12940 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12941 [Ben Laurie]
12942
12943 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12944 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12945 in CRLs.
12946 [Steve Henson]
12947
12948 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12949 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12950 Configure script every time: One now can use ``perl Configure
12951 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12952 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12953 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12954 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12955 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12956 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12957 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12958 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12959
12960 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12961 [Ben Laurie]
12962
12963 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12964 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12965 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12966 for linking it into DSOs.
12967 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12968
12969 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12970 Fixed.
12971 [Ben Laurie]
12972
12973 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12974 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12975 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12976 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12977 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12978 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12979
12980 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12981 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12982 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12983 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12984 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12985 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12986 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12987
12988 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12989 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12990 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12991 encryption.
12992 [Ben Laurie]
12993
12994 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12995 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12996 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12997 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12998 [Steve Henson]
12999
13000 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
13001 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
13002 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
13003 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
13004 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
13005 field as blank.
13006 [Steve Henson]
13007
13008 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
13009 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
13010 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
13011 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
13012 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13013
13014 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
13015 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
13016 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
13017
13018 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
13019 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
13020
13021 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
13022 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
13023 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
13024 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
13025 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
13026 [Steve Henson]
13027
13028 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
13029 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
13030 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
13031 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
13032 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
13033 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
13034 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
13035 [Ben Laurie]
13036
13037 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
13038 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
13039 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
13040 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
13041 [Ben Laurie]
13042
13043 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
13044 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
13045
13046 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
13047 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
13048 [Steve Henson]
13049
13050 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
13051 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
13052 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
13053 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
13054 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
13055 (e.g. s_server).
13056 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
13057 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
13058 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
13059 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
13060 no way to reconfigure them.
13061 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
13062 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
13063 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
13064 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
13065 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
13066 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13067
13068 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
13069 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
13070 recognized by the users.
13071 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13072
13073 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
13074 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
13075 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
13076 already masked variable.
13077 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13078
13079 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
13080 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13081
13082 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
13083 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
13084 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
13085 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13086
13087 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
13088 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
13089 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13090
13091 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
13092 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
13093 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
13094 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
13095 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
13096 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
13097 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
13098 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
13099 now, too.
13100 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13101
13102 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
13103 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
13104 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13105
13106 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
13107 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
13108 config file.
13109 [Steve Henson]
13110
13111 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
13112 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
13113
13114 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
13115 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
13116 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
13117 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
13118 [Ben Laurie]
13119
13120 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
13121 [Steve Henson]
13122
13123 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
13124 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13125
13126 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
13127 [Ben Laurie]
13128
13129 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
13130 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
13131 [Steve Henson]
13132
13133 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
13134 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
13135 [Steve Henson]
13136
13137 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
13138 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
13139 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
13140 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
13141 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
13142 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
13143 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
13144 Ben Laurie]
13145
13146 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
13147 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13148
13149 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
13150 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
13151 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
13152 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
13153 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13154
13155 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
13156 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
13157 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
13158 [Steve Henson]
13159
13160 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
13161 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13162 an example.
13163 [Steve Henson]
13164
13165 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13166 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13167 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13168
13169 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13170 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13171 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13172 build instructions.
13173 [Steve Henson]
13174
13175 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13176 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13177 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13178 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13179 [Steve Henson]
13180
13181 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13182 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13183 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13184 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13185 [Ben Laurie]
13186
13187 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13188 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13189 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13190 so it wasn't spotted.
13191 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
13192
13193 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13194 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13195 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13196 vectors if you have them.
13197 [Ben Laurie]
13198
13199 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13200 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13201 [Ben Laurie]
13202
13203 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13204 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13205 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13206 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13207 If you do a:
13208 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13209 it will update them.
13210 [Steve Henson]
13211
13212 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13213 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13214 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13215 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13216 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13217 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13218 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13219 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13220
13221 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13222 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13223 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13224 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13225 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13226 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13227 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13228 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13229 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13230 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13231
13232 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13233 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13234 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13235 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13236 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13237 [Steve Henson]
13238
13239 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13240 INTEGER code.
13241 [Steve Henson]
13242
13243 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13244 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13245
13246 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13247 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
13248
13249 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13250 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13251 [Ben Laurie]
13252
13253 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13254 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
13255
13256 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13257 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
13258
13259 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13260 [Steve Henson]
13261
13262 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13263 few typos.
13264 [Steve Henson]
13265
13266 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13267 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13268 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13269 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13270
13271 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13272 [Steve Henson]
13273
13274 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13275 [Steve Henson]
13276
13277 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13278 [Steve Henson]
13279
13280 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13281 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13282 [Steve Henson]
13283
13284 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13285 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13286 CA extensions.
13287 [Steve Henson]
13288
13289 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13290 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13291 [Steve Henson]
13292
13293 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13294 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13295 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13296 [Steve Henson]
13297
13298 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13299 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13300 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13301 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13302 properly to be processed.
13303 [Steve Henson]
13304
13305 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13306 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13307 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13308 [Ben Laurie]
13309
13310 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13311 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13312
13313 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13314 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13315 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13316 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13317 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13318 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13319 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13320 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13321 or delete all the .err files.
13322 [Steve Henson]
13323
13324 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13325 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13326 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13327 to regenerate it if needed.
13328 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13329 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13330
13331 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13332 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13333
13334 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13335 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13336 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13337 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13338 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13339 [Steve Henson]
13340
13341 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13342 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13343
13344 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13345 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13346
13347 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13348 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13349 error, but didn't set one).
13350 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13351
13352 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13353 [Ben Laurie]
13354
13355 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13356 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13357 [Steve Henson]
13358
13359 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13360 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13361
13362 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13363 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13364 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13365 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13366 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13367 OID is not part of the table.
13368 [Steve Henson]
13369
13370 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13371 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13372 [Ben Laurie]
13373
13374 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13375 [Ben Laurie]
13376
13377 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13378 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13379 was "1234").
13380 [Steve Henson]
13381
13382 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13383 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13384
13385 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13386 NULL pointers.
13387 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13388
13389 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13390 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13391
13392 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13393 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13394
13395 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13396 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13397
13398 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13399 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13400 [Ben Laurie]
13401
13402 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13403 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13404 [Steve Henson]
13405
13406 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13407 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13408
13409 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13410 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13411
13412 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13413 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13414
13415 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13416 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13417
13418 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13419 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13420 unused in the certificate verification process.
13421 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13422
13423 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13424 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13425 [Steve Henson]
13426
13427 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13428 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13429 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13430
13431 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13432 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13433 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13434 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13435 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13436
13437 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13438 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13439 [Steve Henson]
13440
13441 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13442 [Steve Henson]
13443
13444 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13445 [Paul Sutton]
13446
13447 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13448 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13449
13450 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13451 [Ben Laurie]
13452
13453 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13454 [Ben Laurie]
13455
13456 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13457 [Ben Laurie]
13458
13459 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13460 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13461 other error libraries.
13462 [Steve Henson]
13463
13464 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13465 [Steve Henson]
13466
13467 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13468 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13469 be read in.
13470 [Steve Henson]
13471
13472 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13473 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13474 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13475 the new set of documentation files.
13476 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13477
13478 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13479 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13480 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13481 number of arguments.
13482 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13483
13484 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13485 [Ben Laurie]
13486
13487 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13488 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13489 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13490
13491 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13492 [Ben Laurie]
13493
13494 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13495 nextstep
13496 ncr-scde
13497 unixware-2.0
13498 unixware-2.0-pentium
13499 sco5-cc.
13500 [Ben Laurie]
13501
13502 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13503 before they are needed.
13504 [Ben Laurie]
13505
13506 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13507 [Ben Laurie]
13508
13509
13510 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13511
13512 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13513 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13514 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13515
13516 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13517 [Paul Sutton]
13518
13519 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13520 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13521 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13522
13523 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13524 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13525 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13526
13527 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13528 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13529 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13530
13531 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13532 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13533
13534 *) Updated the README file.
13535 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13536
13537 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13538 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13539 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13540
13541 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13542 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13543 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13544
13545 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13546 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13547 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13548 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13549 o removed obsolete TODO file
13550 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13551 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13552
13553 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13554 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13555 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13556 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13557 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13558 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13559 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13560
13561 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13562 [Mark J. Cox]
13563
13564 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13565 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13566 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13567 summer 1998.
13568 [The OpenSSL Project]
13569
13570
13571 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
13572
13573 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
13574 [Eric A. Young]
13575
13576 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
13577 [Eric A. Young]
13578
13579 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13580 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13581 [Eric A. Young]
13582
13583 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13584 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13585 available).
13586 [Eric A. Young]
13587
13588 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13589 binary structures
13590 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13591
13592 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13593 [Eric A. Young]
13594
13595 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13596 [Eric A. Young]
13597
13598 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13599 [Eric A. Young]
13600
13601 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13602 [Eric A. Young]
13603
13604 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
13605 [Eric A. Young]
13606
13607 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
13608 [Eric A. Young]
13609
13610 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
13611 [Eric A. Young]
13612
13613 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13614 [Eric A. Young]
13615
13616 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13617 [Eric A. Young]
13618
13619 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13620 [Eric A. Young]
13621
13622 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13623 [Eric A. Young]
13624
13625 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13626 [Eric A. Young]
13627
13628 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13629 [Eric A. Young]
13630
13631 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13632 [Eric A. Young]
13633
13634 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13635 [Eric A. Young]
13636
13637 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
13638 [Eric A. Young]
13639
13640 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13641 [Eric A. Young]
13642
13643 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13644 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13645 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13646 [Eric A. Young]
13647
13648 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13649 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13650 [Eric A. Young]
13651
13652 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
13653 [Eric A. Young]
13654
13655 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
13656 [Eric A. Young]
13657
13658 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
13659 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
13660 [Eric A. Young]
13661
13662 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
13663 [Eric A. Young]
13664
13665 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
13666 [Eric A. Young]
13667
13668 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
13669 bytes sent in the client random.
