5 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
8 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
9 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
10 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
11 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
12 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
13 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
14 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
15 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
16 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
19 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
20 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
21 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
22 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
23 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
24 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
27 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
29 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
30 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
31 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
33 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
34 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
36 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
38 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
41 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
42 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
44 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
45 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
46 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
47 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
48 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
49 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
50 Most broken servers should now work.
51 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
52 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
55 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
58 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
60 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
61 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
64 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
65 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
66 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
67 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
68 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
71 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
72 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
73 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
74 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
75 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
78 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
79 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
81 *) Add support for SCTP.
82 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
84 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
85 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
87 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
89 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
90 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
91 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
92 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
93 - s390x: z196 support;
94 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
98 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
99 (removal of unnecessary code)
100 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
102 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
105 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
108 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
109 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
110 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
112 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
114 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
115 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
116 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
117 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
118 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
120 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
121 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
122 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
124 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
125 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
126 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
128 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
129 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
131 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
133 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
134 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
135 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
138 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
139 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
143 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
144 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
145 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
148 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
149 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
150 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
151 the appropriate parameters.
154 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
155 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
156 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
157 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
158 against a number of sample certificates.
161 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
162 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
164 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
165 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
167 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
168 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
172 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
176 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
177 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
178 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
182 *) Session-handling fixes:
183 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
184 but also support Session Tickets.
185 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
186 presented a ticket with an expired session.
187 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
188 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
189 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
190 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
192 *) Fix PSK session representation.
195 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
197 This work was sponsored by Intel.
200 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
201 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
202 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
203 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
204 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
207 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
208 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
211 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
212 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
213 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
216 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
217 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
218 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
219 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
222 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
223 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
224 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
227 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
228 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
230 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
233 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
234 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
237 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
240 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
241 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
244 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
245 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
248 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
251 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
252 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
253 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
256 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
259 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
262 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
263 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
266 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
267 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
268 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
271 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
274 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
278 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
279 FIPS modules versions.
282 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
283 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
284 until after the certificate request message is received.
287 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
288 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
289 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
290 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
293 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
294 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
295 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
296 support yet and no support for client certificates.
299 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
300 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
301 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
302 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
303 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
304 and version checking.
307 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
308 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
309 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
310 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
314 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
316 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
319 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
320 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
321 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
323 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
324 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
325 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
328 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
329 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
331 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
332 a few changes are required:
334 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
336 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
337 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
338 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
341 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
343 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
344 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
345 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
346 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
347 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
348 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
349 an MMA defence is not necessary.
350 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
351 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
354 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
355 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
356 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
359 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
361 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
362 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
363 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
364 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
367 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
369 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
370 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
371 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
372 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
373 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
374 paper describing this attack can be found at:
375 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
376 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
377 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
378 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
379 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
380 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
381 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
383 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
385 [Adam Langley (Google)]
387 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
388 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
389 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
390 [Adam Langley (Google)]
392 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
393 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
395 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
396 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
397 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
398 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
400 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
401 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
403 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
404 [Adam Langley (Google)]
406 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
407 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
409 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
410 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
411 [Adam Langley (Google)]
413 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
414 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
415 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
417 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
418 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
419 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
420 the last update always remained unused).
421 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
423 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
424 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
426 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
428 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
429 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
430 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
432 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
433 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
434 [Adam Langley (Google)]
436 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
439 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
440 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
441 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
444 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
445 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
447 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
449 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
451 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
453 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
454 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
456 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
457 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
461 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
463 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
464 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
465 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
468 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
469 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
470 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
473 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
475 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
476 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
477 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
480 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
484 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
486 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
488 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
490 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
492 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
493 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
494 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
497 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
500 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
501 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
502 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
504 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
505 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
506 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
509 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
510 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
513 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
514 some responders need this.
517 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
519 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
521 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
522 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
523 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
526 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
529 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
530 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
531 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
532 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
533 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
534 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
535 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
536 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
539 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
540 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
541 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
542 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
544 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
545 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
547 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
551 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
552 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
553 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
554 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
555 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
556 attempting to work them out.
559 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
560 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
561 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
562 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
565 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
566 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
567 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
568 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
569 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
572 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
573 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
580 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
582 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
586 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
587 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
589 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
590 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
592 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
593 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
594 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
595 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
596 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
599 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
600 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
601 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
604 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
605 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
608 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
609 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
611 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
612 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
615 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
618 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
619 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
620 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
624 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
625 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
626 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
627 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
628 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
629 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
632 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
633 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
635 This work was sponsored by Google.
638 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
639 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
640 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
641 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
642 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
643 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
644 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by

650 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
652 This work was sponsored by Google.
655 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
656 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
657 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
658 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
660 This work was sponsored by Google.
663 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
664 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
665 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
666 CRL functionality in future.
668 This work was sponsored by Google.
671 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
673 This work was sponsored by Google.
676 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
677 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
679 This work was sponsored by Google.
682 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
683 and URI types are currently supported.
685 This work was sponsored by Google.
688 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
689 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
690 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
691 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
692 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
693 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
694 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
695 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
697 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
698 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
699 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
701 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
702 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
703 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
704 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
706 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
707 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
708 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
709 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
710 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
711 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
712 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
713 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
715 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
717 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
718 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
719 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
721 This work was sponsored by Google.
724 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
727 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
728 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
729 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
732 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
733 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
736 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
737 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
740 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
741 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
742 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
743 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
744 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
745 content types and variants.
748 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
751 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
752 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
753 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
754 files from the associated perl scripts.
757 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
758 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
759 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
761 *) s390x assembler pack.
764 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
768 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
769 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
770 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
771 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
772 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
773 to use. For example, specify an option
775 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
777 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
778 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
779 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
780 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
781 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
782 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
784 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
785 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
786 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
787 return non-zero for success.
789 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
792 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
793 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
797 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
800 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
801 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
802 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
803 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
804 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
805 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
806 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
807 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
808 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
810 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
811 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
812 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
813 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
814 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
815 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
817 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
818 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
819 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
820 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
821 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
822 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
826 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
829 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
831 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
832 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
833 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
836 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
837 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
840 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
841 protection in servers so again support should be possible
842 with no application modification.
844 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
845 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
847 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
848 or server extensions to be examined.
850 This work was sponsored by Google.
853 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
854 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
855 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
857 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
858 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
860 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
862 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
863 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
864 to output in BER and PEM format.
867 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
868 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
869 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
870 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
871 -macopt options to dgst utility.
874 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
875 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
876 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
880 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
881 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
882 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
883 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
884 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
885 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
886 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
887 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
890 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
891 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
892 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
893 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
895 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
896 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
897 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
901 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
902 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
903 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
904 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
905 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
906 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
907 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
908 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
909 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
911 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
912 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
913 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
914 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
915 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
916 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
917 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
918 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
919 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
920 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
921 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
924 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
925 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
926 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
928 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
929 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
933 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
934 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
935 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
938 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
939 it yet and it is largely untested.
942 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
945 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
946 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
947 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
950 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
953 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
954 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
955 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
956 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
959 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
960 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
961 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
962 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
963 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
966 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
967 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
970 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
971 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
972 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
973 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
976 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
977 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
978 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
979 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
982 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
983 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
986 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
987 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
988 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
989 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
992 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
993 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
994 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
997 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1001 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1002 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1005 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1006 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1007 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1011 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1012 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1013 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1016 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1017 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1018 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1019 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1022 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1023 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1024 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1025 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1026 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1027 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1030 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1031 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1032 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1033 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1034 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1036 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1037 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1038 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1039 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1040 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1043 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1044 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1045 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1046 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1048 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1049 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1050 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1051 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1052 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1058 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1059 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1063 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1064 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1067 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1068 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1071 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1072 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1073 functional reference processing.
1076 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1077 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1081 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1082 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1083 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1086 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1087 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1088 application to support multiple signers.
1091 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1095 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1096 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1097 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1098 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1099 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1102 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1106 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1107 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1108 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1109 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1113 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1114 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1115 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1116 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1117 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1118 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1119 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1120 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1123 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1124 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1125 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1126 between digests and public key types.
1129 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1130 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1131 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1132 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1135 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1136 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1140 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1143 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1147 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1148 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1149 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1150 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1155 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1157 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1159 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1161 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1162 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1163 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1164 functionality for RSA.
1167 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1168 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1169 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1172 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1173 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1176 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1177 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1178 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1181 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1182 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1185 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1186 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1189 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1190 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1194 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1195 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1196 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1200 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1201 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1202 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1203 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1204 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1205 of public and private key structures.
1208 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1209 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1212 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1213 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1214 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1217 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1221 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1222 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1223 SSL_get_psk_identity
1224 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1226 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1228 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1229 and response verification functionality.
1230 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1232 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1233 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1234 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1235 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1236 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1237 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1238 server_name extension.
1240 New functions (subject to change):
1242 SSL_get_servername()
1243 SSL_get_servername_type()
1246 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1248 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1249 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1250 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1251 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1252 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1254 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1256 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1257 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1258 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1259 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1260 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1261 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1264 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1266 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1269 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1270 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1271 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1272 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1273 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1276 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1277 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1281 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1282 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1283 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1284 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1287 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1288 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1289 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1290 using the maximum available value.
1293 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1294 in addition to the text details.
1297 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1298 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1299 handle several customised structures at all.
1302 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1303 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1304 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1307 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1310 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1311 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1312 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1315 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1316 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1317 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1320 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1321 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1325 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1328 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1331 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
1333 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1334 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1335 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1336 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1339 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
1341 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1342 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1343 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1344 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1345 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1346 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1347 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1348 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1349 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1350 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1351 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1352 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1353 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1355 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
1356 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
1358 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1360 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1362 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1363 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1364 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1365 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1367 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1368 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1369 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1370 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1372 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1373 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1375 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1376 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1378 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1379 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1380 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1382 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1383 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1384 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1386 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1387 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1388 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1389 the last update always remained unused).
1390 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1392 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1393 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1394 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1396 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1399 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1400 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1402 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1404 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1406 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
1408 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1409 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1411 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1412 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1416 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1418 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1419 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1420 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1423 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1424 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1425 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1428 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1430 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1431 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1432 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1435 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1438 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1439 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1440 some broken encodings work correctly.
1443 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1444 is also one of the inputs.
1445 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1447 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1448 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1449 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
1453 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
1455 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
1458 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
1459 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
1460 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
1462 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
1463 common in certificates and some applications which only call
1464 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
1468 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
1469 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
1470 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
1471 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
1473 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1475 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1476 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1477 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1478 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1479 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1480 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1481 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1482 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1484 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1485 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1486 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1488 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1490 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1491 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1493 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1494 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1497 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1498 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1499 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1502 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1503 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1504 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1505 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1506 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1507 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1510 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1511 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1512 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1515 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1516 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1517 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1518 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1519 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1520 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1524 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1525 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1528 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1529 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1530 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1533 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1536 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1537 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1538 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1539 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1540 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1541 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1542 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1543 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1544 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1547 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1548 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1549 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1552 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1553 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1556 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1557 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1558 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1559 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1560 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1561 know what you are doing.
1562 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1564 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1565 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1566 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1567 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1568 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1569 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1573 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1574 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1575 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1577 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1579 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1580 warnings in other configurations.
1583 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1584 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1585 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1587 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1589 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1590 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1591 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1593 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1594 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1595 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1596 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1599 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1603 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1604 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1606 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1608 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1609 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1610 other than a simple chain.
1611 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1613 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1614 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1615 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1616 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1619 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1620 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1621 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1622 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1623 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1624 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1625 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1626 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1627 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1629 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1630 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1631 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1632 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1633 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1634 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1636 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1638 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1639 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1642 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1643 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1646 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1648 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1650 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1651 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1652 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1653 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1654 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1658 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1660 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1661 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1662 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1663 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1665 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1666 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1667 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1668 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1670 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1671 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1672 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1675 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1676 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1680 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1681 to handle some structures.
1684 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1686 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1688 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1691 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1694 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1697 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1698 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1702 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1704 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1706 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1708 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1711 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1712 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1713 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1714 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1716 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1717 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1719 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1720 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1723 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1724 s_client and s_server.
1727 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1728 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1730 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1731 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1733 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1734 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1735 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1736 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1737 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1740 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1742 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1743 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1746 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1747 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1750 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1751 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1752 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1753 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1755 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1756 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1758 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1760 *) Various precautionary measures:
1762 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1764 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1765 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1766 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1768 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1769 outside the expected range.
1771 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1774 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1776 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1777 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1778 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1780 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1783 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1786 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1788 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1791 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1792 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1793 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1795 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1798 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1799 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1800 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1804 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1806 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1807 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1808 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1809 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1811 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1812 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1815 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1817 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1818 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1819 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1821 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1823 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1824 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1825 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1826 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1829 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1830 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1831 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1832 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1833 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1834 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1835 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1837 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1839 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1840 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1841 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1842 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1843 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1845 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1846 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1848 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1849 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1850 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1851 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1852 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1854 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1856 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1857 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1858 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1859 sets may exist with different names.
1862 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1863 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1864 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1865 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1866 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1867 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1868 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1869 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1870 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1872 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1874 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1875 implemention in the following ways:
1877 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1880 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1881 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1882 ignored for embedded content.
1884 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1885 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1888 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1889 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1890 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1891 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1893 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1894 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1897 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1898 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1901 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1902 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1903 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1904 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1905 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1906 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1910 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1911 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1912 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1916 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1917 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1918 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1919 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1920 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1921 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,

1931 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1933 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1934 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1935 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1936 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1937 to s_client and s_server.
1940 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1942 *) Fix various bugs:
1943 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1944 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1945 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1946 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1947 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1949 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1951 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1952 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1953 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1954 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1955 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1956 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1957 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1958 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1961 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1962 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1963 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1966 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1967 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1968 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1971 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1972 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1975 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1976 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1977 with no application modification.
1979 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1980 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1982 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1983 or server extensions to be examined.
1985 This work was sponsored by Google.
1988 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1989 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1990 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1991 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1992 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1993 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1994 server_name extension.
1996 New functions (subject to change):
1998 SSL_get_servername()
1999 SSL_get_servername_type()
2002 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2004 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2005 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2006 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2007 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2008 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2010 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2012 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2013 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2014 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2015 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2016 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2017 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2020 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2022 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2025 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2028 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2029 (which previously caused an internal error).
2032 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2035 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2036 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2038 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2039 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2040 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2042 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2043 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2044 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2045 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2047 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2048 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2049 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2050 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2052 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2053 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2054 information. For detailed background information, see
2055 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2056 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2057 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2058 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2059 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2060 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2061 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2062 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2063 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2064 remove a conditional branch.
2066 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2067 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2068 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2069 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2070 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2071 remains as a deprecated alias.
2073 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2074 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2075 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2076 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2078 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2079 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2080 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2081 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2082 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2083 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2084 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2085 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2087 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2089 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2090 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2091 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2092 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2093 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2094 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2095 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2096 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2097 in a different context.
2100 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2101 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2102 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2105 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2106 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2107 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2109 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2111 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2112 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2113 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2114 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2115 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2118 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2119 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2120 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2121 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2122 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2123 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2126 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2127 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2128 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2129 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2130 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2133 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2134 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2136 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2137 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2138 Improve header file function name parsing.
2141 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2142 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2145 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2147 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2148 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2149 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2151 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2152 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2154 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2155 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2157 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2158 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2159 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2161 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2162 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2163 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2164 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2165 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2166 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2167 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2168 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2169 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2171 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2172 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2173 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2174 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2175 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2177 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2178 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2179 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2180 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2181 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2182 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2183 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2184 multiple values to extend the available space.
2188 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2190 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2191 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2193 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2196 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2197 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2198 undesirable limitations.
2199 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2201 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2202 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2203 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2204 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2205 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2206 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2207 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2210 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2212 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2213 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2214 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2216 The latter two were purportedly from
2217 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2220 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2221 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2222 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2225 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2226 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2229 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2230 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2231 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2232 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2234 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2235 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2236 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2239 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2240 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2241 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2242 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2243 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2244 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2247 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2249 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2250 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2253 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2254 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2256 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2257 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2258 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2259 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2262 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2263 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2266 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2267 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2268 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2269 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2270 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2271 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2272 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2276 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2277 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2278 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2279 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2282 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2283 under VC++ build system.
2286 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2287 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2290 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2292 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2293 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2294 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2295 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2296 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2298 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2299 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2300 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2302 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2305 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2306 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2309 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2310 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2312 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2315 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2316 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2318 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2319 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2322 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2323 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2327 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2329 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2332 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2335 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2336 key into the same file any more.
2339 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2342 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2343 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2345 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2346 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2349 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2350 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2351 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2352 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2353 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2354 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2356 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2357 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2358 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2361 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2362 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2363 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2364 - add new function for parameter creation
2365 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2366 BN_BLINDING parameters
2367 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2368 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2369 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2373 *) Add support for DTLS.
2374 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2376 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2377 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2380 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2381 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2384 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2385 the apps/openssl applications.
2388 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2389 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2390 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2393 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2394 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2396 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2397 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2399 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2400 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2401 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2402 avoid this algorithm.)
2406 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2407 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2408 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2411 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2412 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2415 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2416 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2417 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2420 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2422 The blank line is mandatory.
2426 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2427 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2431 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2432 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2434 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2435 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2436 to support policy checking and print out.
2439 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2440 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2441 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2442 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2444 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2447 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2448 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2450 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2451 implementation contributed by IBM.
2452 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2454 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2455 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2456 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2457 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2459 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2460 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2462 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2463 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2464 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2465 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2466 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2467 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2470 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2471 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2472 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2473 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2474 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2475 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2476 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2479 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2482 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2483 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2484 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2485 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2486 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2487 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2488 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2489 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2492 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2493 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2494 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2495 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2498 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2501 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2504 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2505 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2506 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2507 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2508 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2509 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2510 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2513 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2514 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2517 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2518 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2519 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2522 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2523 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2524 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2528 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2529 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2532 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2533 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2534 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2535 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2538 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2539 initialised value as BN_new().
2540 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2542 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2545 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2546 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2547 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2548 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2549 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2550 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2551 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2552 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2553 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2554 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2555 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2556 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2557 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2558 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2559 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2561 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2562 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2563 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2564 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2567 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2568 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2569 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2570 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2571 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2572 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2573 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2574 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2575 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2578 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2579 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2580 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2581 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2582 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2583 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2584 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2587 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2588 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2589 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2590 these have been updated also.
2593 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2594 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2595 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2596 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2597 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2601 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2602 structure of type "other".
2605 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2606 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2607 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2608 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2609 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2610 situation in the script.
2611 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2613 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2614 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2615 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2616 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2617 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2618 used as premaster secret.
2619 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2621 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2622 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2623 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2625 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2626 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2628 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2629 control of the error stack.
2632 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2635 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2636 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2637 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2638 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2641 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2642 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2643 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2646 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2647 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2648 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2652 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2653 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2654 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2655 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2658 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2659 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2660 the following flags are defined:
2662 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2663 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2664 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2667 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2668 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2669 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2670 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2674 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2675 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2676 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2677 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2678 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2681 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2682 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2683 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2686 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2687 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2688 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2689 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2690 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2691 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2694 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2698 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2701 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2704 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2707 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2708 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2709 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2710 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2711 default implementation more easily.
2714 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2718 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2719 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2722 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2723 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2724 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2725 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2727 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2728 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2729 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2730 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2733 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2734 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2738 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2739 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2740 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2741 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2742 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2743 scalar * generator).
2744 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2746 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2747 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2748 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2752 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2753 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2754 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2755 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2756 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2757 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2758 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2759 linker additions, eg;
2760 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2763 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2764 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2765 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2768 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2769 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2770 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2774 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2775 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2776 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2777 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2780 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2781 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2782 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2783 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2784 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2785 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2786 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2787 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2788 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2789 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2791 Example for using the new callback interface:
2793 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2797 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2799 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2800 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2801 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2802 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2803 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2804 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2809 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2810 available to TLS with the number defined in
2811 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2814 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2815 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2817 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2818 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2819 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2820 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2822 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2823 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2825 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2826 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2830 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2831 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2834 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2835 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2836 and a macro that behave like
2837 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2839 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2842 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2843 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2844 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2846 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2848 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2851 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2852 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2853 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2854 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2856 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2857 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2858 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2859 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2860 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2861 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2862 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2863 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2865 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2866 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2869 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2870 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2872 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2873 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2874 files while avoiding the low level API.
2876 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2877 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2878 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2879 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2881 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2882 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2883 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2884 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2885 instead of the low level API.
2888 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2889 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2890 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2891 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2892 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2895 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2896 down to the template encoder.
2899 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2900 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2903 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2904 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2905 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2906 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2908 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2909 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2911 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2912 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2914 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2915 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2918 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2919 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2920 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2923 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2924 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2926 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2927 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2929 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2930 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2933 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2937 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2938 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2939 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2940 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2941 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2942 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2944 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2945 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2948 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2949 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2950 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2951 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2952 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2953 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2954 various internal method names.)
2956 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2957 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2959 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2960 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2962 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2963 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2965 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2966 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2967 methods are undefined.
2969 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2970 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2972 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2973 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2974 length of the modulus.
2976 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2977 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2979 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2980 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2982 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2983 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2985 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2986 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2987 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2990 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2991 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2992 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2993 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2995 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2996 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2997 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2998 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3000 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3001 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3003 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3004 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3005 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3006 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3007 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3009 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3010 This applies to the following functions:
3015 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3016 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3018 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3019 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3023 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3028 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3030 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3031 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3032 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3033 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3034 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3036 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3037 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3039 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3040 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3041 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3043 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3044 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3046 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3047 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3048 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3049 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3050 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3052 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3054 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3055 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3056 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3057 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3058 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3059 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3060 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3061 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3062 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3063 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3064 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3065 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3067 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3070 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3071 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3072 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3073 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3075 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3076 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3077 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3078 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3083 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3084 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3085 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3086 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3087 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3089 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3090 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3091 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3092 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3093 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3094 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3095 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3096 adding different types of curves.
3097 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3099 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3100 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3101 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3104 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3105 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3107 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3108 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3109 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3110 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3112 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3114 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3115 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3117 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3118 library. Most notably,
3119 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3120 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3121 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3122 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3123 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3124 extracted before the specific public key;
3125 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3126 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3128 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3129 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3131 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3132 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3133 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3134 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3136 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3137 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3138 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3140 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3141 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3142 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3143 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3144 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3145 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3149 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3151 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3153 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3155 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3156 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3157 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3160 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3161 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3162 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3165 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3168 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3169 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3172 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3173 run algorithm test programs.
3176 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3179 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3180 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3181 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3182 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3183 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3186 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3187 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3190 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3192 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3193 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3194 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3196 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3197 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3199 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3200 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3202 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3203 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3204 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3206 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3207 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3208 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3209 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3210 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3211 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3212 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3215 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3217 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3218 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3220 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3221 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3222 undesirable limitations.
3223 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3225 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3227 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3228 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3229 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3231 The latter two were purportedly from
3232 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3235 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3236 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3237 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3240 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3241 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3244 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3246 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3247 module in FIPS mode.
3250 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3253 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3254 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3255 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3256 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3259 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3261 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3262 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3263 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3264 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3265 the difference induced by this change.
3268 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3270 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3271 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3272 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3273 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3274 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3276 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3277 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3278 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3280 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3281 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3284 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3285 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3286 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3287 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3291 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3292 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3293 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3294 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3295 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3297 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3298 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3299 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3300 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3301 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3302 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3304 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3306 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3307 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3308 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3309 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3310 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3313 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3317 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3318 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3319 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3322 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3323 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3324 structures constant.
3327 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3329 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3332 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3333 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3334 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3335 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3336 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3337 some needed definitions.
3340 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3343 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3344 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3345 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3346 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3349 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3351 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3352 server and client random values. Previously
3353 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3354 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3356 This change has negligible security impact because:
3358 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3361 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3364 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3365 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3368 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3371 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3373 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3376 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3377 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3378 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3380 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3383 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3384 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3387 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3388 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3389 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3391 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3394 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3395 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3396 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3400 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3401 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3402 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3403 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3405 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3406 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3407 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3408 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3412 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3414 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3415 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3416 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3417 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3418 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3421 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3424 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3425 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3427 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3428 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3429 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3430 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3431 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3432 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3433 rather than being initialized to 1.
3436 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3438 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3439 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3440 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3442 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3444 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3446 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3447 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3448 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3449 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3450 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3451 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3454 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3455 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3456 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3457 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3458 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3462 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3463 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3464 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3465 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3466 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3469 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3470 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3471 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3475 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3476 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3478 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3481 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3483 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3485 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3486 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3488 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3490 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3491 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3495 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3496 exiting on the first error in a request.
3499 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3500 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3504 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3505 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3506 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3507 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3509 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3510 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3513 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3514 blocks during encryption.
3517 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3518 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3519 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3520 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3524 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3525 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3526 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3527 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3528 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3532 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3534 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3535 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3536 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3537 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3540 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3541 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3542 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3543 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3544 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3546 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3547 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3548 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3549 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3550 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3551 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3552 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3553 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3554 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3557 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3558 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3559 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3560 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3563 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3564 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3567 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3569 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3570 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3571 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3572 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3573 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3575 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3576 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3577 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3579 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3580 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3581 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3582 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3583 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3585 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3586 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not

3590 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3591 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3593 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3594 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3595 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3596 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3597 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3599 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3600 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3601 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3602 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3604 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3606 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3608 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3610 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3611 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3612 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3613 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3617 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3618 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3620 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3621 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3624 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3625 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3626 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3627 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3630 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3631 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3632 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3633 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3634 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3635 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3636 followup to PR #377.
3639 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3640 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3643 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3644 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3645 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

3650 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3653 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3654 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3655 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session

3667 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3668 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3669 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3670 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3671 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3672 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3674 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3675 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3676 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3677 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3678 have to be made anyway).
3681 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3682 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3683 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3686 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3687 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3688 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3691 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3692 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3693 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

3696 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3697 edit numbers of the version.

3704 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.

3789 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.

3804 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3805 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3807 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3808 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3809 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3811 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3812 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3813 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3814 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3816 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3817 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3818 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3821 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3822 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3823 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3824 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3825 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3826 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3827 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3828 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3831 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3832 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3833 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3836 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3837 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3838 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3839 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.

3842 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3843 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3845 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3846 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3849 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3850 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3851 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3852 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3853 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3854 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3857 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3858 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3859 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3862 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3863 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3866 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3867 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3868 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3869 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3870 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3871 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3872 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3875 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3876 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3877 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3878 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3879 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3880 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3883 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3884 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3885 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3886 declaration has been changed from
3889 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3890 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3891 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3892 has been changed into
3893 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3895 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3896 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3897 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3899 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3900 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3902 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3903 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3904 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3905 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3906 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3907 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3908 always load it have also been added.
3911 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3912 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3913 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3915 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3917 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3918 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3919 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3921 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3922 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3923 command line option can be used to specify an
3927 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3928 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3931 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3932 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3933 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3936 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3937 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3938 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3939 to work with the new engine framework.
3940 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3942 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3943 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3944 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3945 to work with the new engine framework.
3948 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3949 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3950 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3952 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3953 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]

3956 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3957 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3958 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3960 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3962 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3963 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3965 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3966 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3968 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3969 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3970 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3973 *) Add new functions
3975 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3976 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3977 These are similar to
3980 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3981 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3982 still in the error queue.
3983 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3985 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3987 default_algorithms = ALL
3988 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3991 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3994 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3997 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3998 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3999 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4000 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4002 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4003 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4005 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4006 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4008 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4009 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4012 *) New functions/macros
4014 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4015 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4016 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4017 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4019 to request calling a callback function
4021 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4022 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4024 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4025 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4026 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4027 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4028 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4029 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4030 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4031 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4032 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4033 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4035 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4036 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4039 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4040 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4041 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4042 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4043 the configuration scripts.
4045 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4046 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4047 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4049 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4050 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4052 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4053 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4054 when reusing an existing buffer.
4057 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4058 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4061 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4062 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4065 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4066 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4067 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4068 has the same effect.
4069 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4071 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4072 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4073 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4074 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4075 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4076 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4079 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4080 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4081 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4082 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4084 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4085 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4086 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4087 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4089 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4090 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4093 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4094 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4095 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4096 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4097 default), and then completely removed.
4100 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4101 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4102 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4103 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4104 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4105 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4106 particular extension is supported.
4109 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4110 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4113 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4114 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4115 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4116 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4117 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4118 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4119 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4120 requires the destination to be valid.
4122 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4123 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4126 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4127 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4128 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4131 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4132 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4134 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4135 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4136 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4137 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4138 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4139 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4140 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4141 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4142 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4143 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4144 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4145 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4146 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4147 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4148 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4149 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4150 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4151 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4152 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4156 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4159 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4160 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4161 become part of libeay.num as well.
4164 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4165 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4166 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4167 false once a handshake has been completed.
4168 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4169 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4170 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4171 client has followed the request.)
4174 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4175 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4176 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4177 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4179 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4180 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4181 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4184 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4187 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4188 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4189 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4192 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4193 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4196 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4197 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4198 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4199 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4202 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4203 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4204 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4205 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4206 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4207 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4210 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4211 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4212 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4213 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4214 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4215 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4216 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4217 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4220 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4221 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4224 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4227 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4228 md_data void pointer.
4231 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4232 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4233 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4234 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4235 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4236 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4239 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4240 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4241 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4242 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4243 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4244 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4245 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4246 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4247 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4248 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4249 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4250 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4251 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4252 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4253 rather than letting it slide.
4255 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4256 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4257 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4260 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4261 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4262 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4263 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4264 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4265 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4266 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4267 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4268 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4271 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4272 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4273 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4274 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4275 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4277 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4280 *) Add EVP test program.
4283 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4286 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4287 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4288 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4289 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4290 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4293 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4294 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4295 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4296 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4297 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4298 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4299 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4301 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4302 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4303 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4308 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4309 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4310 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4311 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4312 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4316 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4317 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4318 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4319 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4322 des_key_schedule ks;
4324 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4325 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4327 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4330 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4331 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4332 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4333 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4334 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4335 functions prevents this.
4338 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4341 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4342 correct _ecb suffix.
4345 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4346 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4347 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4348 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4349 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4352 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4355 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4356 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4357 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4358 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4360 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4361 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4363 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4364 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4365 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4366 via Richard Levitte]
4368 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4369 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4370 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4371 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4374 *) Speed up EVP routines.
4377 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
4378 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

4392 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4393 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4395 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4396 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4397 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4398 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4399 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4400 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4403 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4404 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4407 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4408 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4409 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4410 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4412 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4413 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4414 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4415 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4416 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4417 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4421 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4422 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4423 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4424 and interrupts/cancellations.
4427 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4428 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4431 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4432 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4433 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4435 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4436 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4440 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4441 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4442 than this minimum value is recommended.
4445 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4446 that are easily reachable.
4449 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4450 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4452 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4454 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4455 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4456 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4457 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4460 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4461 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4462 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4465 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4466 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4467 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4468 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4469 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4470 internally such as S/MIME.
4472 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
4473 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
4474 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
4476 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
4480 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
4481 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
4482 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
4483 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
4485 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4487 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
4489 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
4490 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4491 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4495 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4496 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4497 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4498 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4499 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4500 a window system and the like.
4503 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4504 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4507 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4508 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4509 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4510 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4511 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4512 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4513 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4514 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4515 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4519 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4520 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4524 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4525 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4526 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4527 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4528 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4529 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4530 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4531 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4534 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4535 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4536 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4537 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4538 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4539 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4540 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4541 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4542 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4543 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4544 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4545 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4546 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4547 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4548 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4549 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4550 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4553 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4554 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4555 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4556 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4557 internal engine_int.h header.
4560 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4561 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4562 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4563 modify their own ones).
4566 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4567 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4568 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4569 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4570 later on via ctrl() commands.
4571 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4572 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4573 structural references.
4574 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
4575 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
4576 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
4577 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
4578 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
4579 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
4580 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
4581 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4582 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4583 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4584 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4585 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4588 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4589 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4590 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4591 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4592 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4593 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4594 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4595 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4598 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4599 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4602 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4603 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4606 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4607 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4608 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4609 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4610 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4611 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4612 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4615 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4616 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4617 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4618 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4619 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4621 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4622 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4626 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4628 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4629 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4630 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4632 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4633 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4635 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4636 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4637 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4639 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4640 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4642 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4643 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4645 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4647 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4648 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4649 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4652 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4653 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4656 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4657 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4658 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4659 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4660 is 40 of more characters long.
4663 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4664 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4668 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4669 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4672 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4673 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4677 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4679 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4680 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4683 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4685 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4686 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4687 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4689 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4690 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4692 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4695 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4699 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4700 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4701 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4702 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4704 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4706 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4707 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4709 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4710 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4711 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4712 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4713 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4714 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4716 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4717 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4719 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4720 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4722 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4723 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4725 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4726 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4727 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4728 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4730 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4731 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4733 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4734 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4736 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4737 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4738 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4739 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4740 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4743 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4744 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4745 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4746 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4749 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4750 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4751 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4755 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4756 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4757 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4758 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4759 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4760 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4761 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4762 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4766 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4767 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4770 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4771 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4772 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4773 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4776 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4777 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4778 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4779 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4780 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4781 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4782 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4783 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4784 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4785 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4788 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4789 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4790 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4791 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4792 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4793 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4794 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4795 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4797 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4798 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4799 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4800 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4803 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4804 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4805 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4806 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4808 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4809 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4810 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4811 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4812 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4816 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4817 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4818 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4819 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4823 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4824 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4825 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4828 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4829 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4830 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4831 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4832 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4835 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4838 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4839 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4840 option to ocsp utility.
4843 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4844 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4845 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4846 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4847 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4848 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4849 the request is nonce-less.
4852 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4853 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4854 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4857 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4858 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4859 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4862 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4863 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4864 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4865 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4866 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4869 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4870 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4874 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4875 additional certificates supplied.
4878 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4879 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4883 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4884 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4887 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4888 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4889 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4890 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4891 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4892 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4893 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4894 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4895 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4897 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4898 request to response.
4901 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4902 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4903 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4904 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4905 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4906 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4907 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4908 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4909 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4910 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4911 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4914 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4915 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4916 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4917 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4920 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4921 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4923 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4924 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4925 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4928 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4929 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4930 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4931 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4932 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4934 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4935 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4936 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4939 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4940 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4941 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4942 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4943 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4944 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4945 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4946 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4948 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4949 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4950 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4951 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4952 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4953 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4956 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4957 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4958 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4959 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4960 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4961 printout format cleaned up.
4964 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4965 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4966 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4967 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4968 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4969 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4970 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4971 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4974 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4975 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4976 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4977 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4978 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4979 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4980 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4981 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4984 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4985 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4986 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4987 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4989 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4991 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4992 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4993 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4994 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4997 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4998 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4999 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5000 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5002 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5004 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5005 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5006 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5007 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5009 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5010 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5012 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5013 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5014 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5017 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5018 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5019 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5022 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5023 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5024 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5025 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5026 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5027 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5028 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5029 functions are provided:
5031 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5032 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5033 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5034 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5036 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5037 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5038 extended allocation function is enabled.
5039 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5040 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5041 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5043 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5044 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5045 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5046 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5047 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5050 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5051 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5052 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5054 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5055 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5056 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5059 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5060 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5061 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5062 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5063 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5064 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5065 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5066 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5067 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5070 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5071 provide utility functions which an application needing
5072 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5073 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5074 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5076 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5077 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5078 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5079 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5080 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5081 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5082 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5083 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5084 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5086 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5087 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5088 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5089 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5092 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5093 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5094 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5095 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5096 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5097 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5098 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5099 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5100 will be added elsewhere.
5103 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5104 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5105 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5106 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5109 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5110 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5111 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5112 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5113 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5114 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5115 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5116 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5117 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5118 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5119 to produce the required SET OF.
5122 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5123 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5124 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5127 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5128 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5129 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5130 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5131 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5132 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5135 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5136 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5137 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5140 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5141 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5142 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5145 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5146 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5147 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5148 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5149 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5152 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5153 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5156 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5157 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5158 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5159 certifcates and CRLs.
5162 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5163 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5164 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5167 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5168 entries for variables.
5171 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5172 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5173 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5174 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5177 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5178 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5179 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5180 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5181 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5182 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5185 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5186 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5188 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5189 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5190 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5193 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5197 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5198 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5199 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5200 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5201 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5202 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5205 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5208 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5209 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5210 for now but they will eventually go away.
5213 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5214 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5215 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5216 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5217 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5218 has also been converted to the new form.
5221 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5222 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5223 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5224 for negative moduli.
5227 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5228 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5231 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5235 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5236 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5237 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5238 type-specific callbacks.
5241 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5243 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5244 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5246 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5247 in sections depending on the subject.
5250 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5254 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5255 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5256 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5257 be handled deterministically).
5258 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5260 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5261 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5262 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5265 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5268 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5269 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5270 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5271 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5272 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5275 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5276 sign of the number in question.
5278 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5280 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5281 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5282 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5283 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5284 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5287 *) New function BN_swap.
5290 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5291 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5292 results on negative inputs.
5295 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5296 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5297 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5300 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5301 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5302 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5303 and add new functions:
5312 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5316 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5318 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5319 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5321 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5322 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5323 be reduced modulo m.
5324 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5327 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5328 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5329 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5331 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5332 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5333 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5334 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5335 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5336 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5341 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5342 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5343 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5344 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5345 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5347 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5348 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5349 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5353 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5356 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5357 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5360 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5361 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5362 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5363 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5367 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5370 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5373 *) Add the following functions:
5375 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5377 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5379 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5381 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5382 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5383 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5384 libraries unless it's really needed.
5386 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5387 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5388 declarations (they differed!).
5391 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5394 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5397 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5400 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5401 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5404 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5405 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5406 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5408 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5409 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5412 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5415 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5418 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5421 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5422 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5423 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5425 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5426 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5427 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5428 different shared library filenames on each system.
5431 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5434 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5435 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5436 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5438 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5441 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5442 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5443 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5444 binary backward compatibility.
5445 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5446 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5447 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5451 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5452 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5453 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5454 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5458 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5461 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5462 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5463 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5464 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5468 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5471 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
5473 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5474 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5475 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5477 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
5479 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
5481 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
5482 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
5485 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
5487 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5489 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5490 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5492 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5493 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5497 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5498 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5502 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5503 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5504 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5505 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5507 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5508 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5511 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5513 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5514 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5515 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5516 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5519 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5520 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5521 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5522 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5523 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5525 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5526 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5527 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5528 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5529 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5530 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5531 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5532 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5533 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5536 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5538 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5539 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5540 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5541 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5542 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5544 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5545 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5546 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5548 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5550 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5551 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5552 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5553 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5554 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5555 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5558 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5559 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5560 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5561 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5562 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5565 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5566 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5567 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5569 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5570 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5571 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
5575 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
5576 being properly terminated.
5579 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
5580 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
5581 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
5582 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
5584 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
5585 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
5586 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
5587 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
5588 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
5589 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
5590 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
5592 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5594 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5595 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5598 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5599 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5600 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
5601 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
5602 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
5603 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
5604 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
5605 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
5607 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5608 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5609 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5610 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5611 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5613 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5614 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5617 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5619 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5620 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5621 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5623 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5625 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5626 and get fix the header length calculation.
5627 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5628 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5631 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5632 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5633 assertions could call abort()).
5634 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5636 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5638 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5639 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5640 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5642 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5644 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5645 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5646 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5649 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5653 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5654 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5655 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5657 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5658 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5659 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5660 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5661 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5665 *) Changes in security patch:
5667 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5668 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5669 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5672 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5673 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5674 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5675 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5676 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5678 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
5680 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5682 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5683 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5684 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
5686 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5687 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5688 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5690 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5691 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5692 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5694 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5696 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5697 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5698 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5700 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5701 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5703 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5704 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5705 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5706 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5707 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5708 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5711 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5712 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5713 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5714 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5717 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5720 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5721 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5722 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5723 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5724 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5725 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5727 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5728 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5729 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5730 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5731 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5734 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5735 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5736 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5737 BN_generate_prime().)
5739 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5740 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5741 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5745 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5746 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5749 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5750 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5751 when using non-blocking I/O.
5752 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5754 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5755 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5757 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5758 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5761 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5762 configuration for the versions before that.
5763 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5765 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5766 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5767 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5768 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5771 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5772 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5773 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5776 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5780 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5781 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5782 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5784 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5785 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5787 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5788 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5789 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5790 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5791 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5792 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5793 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5796 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5797 using a local variable.
5798 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5800 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5801 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5802 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5804 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5807 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5808 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5810 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5811 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5812 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5814 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5816 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5817 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5818 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5819 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5822 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5826 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5827 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5828 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5829 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5830 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5832 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5833 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5834 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5836 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5837 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5838 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5840 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5841 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5842 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5843 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5845 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5846 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5847 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5849 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5851 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5852 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5854 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5856 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5857 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5858 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5859 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5861 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5862 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5863 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5864 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5866 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5867 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5869 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5870 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5871 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5874 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5875 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5876 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5878 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5880 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5881 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5882 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5883 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5884 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5885 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5886 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5889 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5890 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5891 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5892 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5894 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5895 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5896 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5897 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5898 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5899 the client will at least see that alert.
5902 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5906 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5907 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5908 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5910 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5911 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5912 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5913 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5916 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5917 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5918 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5920 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5921 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5922 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5923 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5924 may leak via logfiles.)
5926 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5927 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5928 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5929 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5933 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5934 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5937 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5938 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5939 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5940 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5941 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5944 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5945 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5947 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5948 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5949 followed by modular reduction.
5950 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5952 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5953 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5956 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5957 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5958 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5959 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5962 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5965 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5966 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5969 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5970 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5971 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5972 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5973 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5974 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5976 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5978 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5979 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5980 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5981 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5982 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5984 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5987 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5988 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5989 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5990 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5991 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5992 to allow the necessary settings.
5995 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5996 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5997 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5998 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6001 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6002 dh->length and always used
6004 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6006 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6007 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6008 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6009 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6010 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6015 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6017 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6023 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6024 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6025 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6026 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6028 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6029 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6030 always reject numbers >= n.
6033 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6034 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6035 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6036 variable) is not atomic.
6039 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6040 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6041 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6042 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6044 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6045 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6047 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6049 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6051 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6054 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6056 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6057 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6058 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6059 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6060 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6061 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6062 to traverse all of 'state'.
6064 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6065 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6066 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6068 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6069 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6071 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6072 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6073 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6074 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6075 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6076 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6077 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6078 further strengthens the PRNG.
6081 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6084 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6085 an error message in this case.
6088 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6091 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6092 positive and less than q.
6095 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6096 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6098 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6100 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6101 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6105 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6107 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6108 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6109 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6110 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6111 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6112 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6113 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6116 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6117 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6118 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6119 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6121 Both problems are now fixed.
6124 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6125 (previously it was 1024).
6128 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6129 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6132 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6135 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6136 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6137 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6140 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6141 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6142 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6143 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6144 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6145 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6146 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6147 environment variables.
6149 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6150 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6151 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6154 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6155 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6156 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6157 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6158 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6159 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6162 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6166 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6168 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6169 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6171 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6172 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6173 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6174 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6178 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6179 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6180 amount of data available.
6181 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6182 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6184 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6185 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6186 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6187 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6190 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6191 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6195 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6196 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6197 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6198 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6201 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6204 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6207 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6208 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6210 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6212 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6213 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6214 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6215 (but broken) behaviour.
6218 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6220 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6222 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6223 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6226 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6230 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6231 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6233 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6236 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6237 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6238 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6240 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6241 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6242 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6245 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6246 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6249 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6250 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6252 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6254 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6256 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6257 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6258 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6259 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6262 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6265 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6266 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6267 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6269 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6272 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6274 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6275 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6276 but the code is actually correct.
6279 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6280 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6281 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6282 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6283 and leaves the highest bit random.
6284 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6286 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6287 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6288 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6289 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6290 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6291 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6292 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6295 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6298 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6299 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6302 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6303 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6304 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6305 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6309 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6310 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6311 and break the signature.
6313 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6315 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6319 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6320 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6321 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6322 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6323 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6326 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6327 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6329 *) ./config script fixes.
6330 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6332 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6335 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6336 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6337 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6338 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6339 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6341 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6342 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6345 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6346 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6349 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6350 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6351 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6352 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6354 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6355 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6357 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6358 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6359 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6360 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6361 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6363 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6366 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6369 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6372 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6375 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6376 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6379 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6380 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6381 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6382 result of the server certificate verification.)
6385 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6386 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6387 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6391 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6392 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6393 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6394 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6395 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6396 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6397 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6398 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6401 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6402 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6403 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6404 happening the other way round.
6407 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6408 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6411 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6412 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6413 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6414 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6417 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6418 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6420 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6422 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6423 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6424 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6427 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6429 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6431 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6435 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6437 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6438 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6439 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6440 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6441 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6443 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6444 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6448 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6451 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6453 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6454 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6455 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6456 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6457 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6458 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6459 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6460 by the Finished messages.
6463 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6464 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6466 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6467 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6468 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6469 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6470 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
6474 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
6475 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
6476 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
6477 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
6478 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
6479 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
6480 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
6481 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
6482 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
6486 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
6487 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
6488 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
6489 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6491 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6492 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6493 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6494 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6495 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6498 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6499 been tested well enough.
6502 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6503 it can return incorrect results.
6504 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6505 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6508 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6509 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6510 include zero length content when signing messages.
6513 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6514 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6517 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6520 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6524 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6525 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6526 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6527 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6528 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6529 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6532 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6533 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6535 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6536 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6538 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6539 random number < q in the DSA library.
6542 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6543 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6544 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6545 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6546 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6547 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6548 just makes things more complicated.)
6551 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6555 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6556 work better on such systems.
6557 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6559 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6560 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6561 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6564 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6565 if there was more than one signature.
6566 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6568 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6569 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6570 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6571 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6574 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
6575 rather than always using the current time.
6578 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
6579 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
6580 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
6581 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
6582 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
6583 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
6585 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
6586 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
6588 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
6590 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
6591 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
6592 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
6593 the same hash value.
6595 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6596 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6597 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6598 with X509_STORE internally.
6600 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6601 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6603 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6604 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6605 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6606 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6607 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6608 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6609 entirely (maybe later...).
6611 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6613 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6614 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6615 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6616 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6617 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6618 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6619 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6620 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6622 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6623 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6625 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6626 to customise the verify behaviour.
6629 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6630 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6633 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6634 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6635 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6636 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6637 request is improperly encoded.
6640 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6641 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6644 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6645 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6647 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6648 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6652 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6653 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6654 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6657 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6658 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6659 BIO/fp routines also added.
6662 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6663 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6665 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6666 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6667 demos/state_machine.
6670 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6671 generation and verification.
6674 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6675 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6676 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6677 encode and decode it manually.
6680 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6682 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6684 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6685 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6686 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6687 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6689 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6690 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6691 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6692 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6693 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6696 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6699 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6700 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6701 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6703 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6704 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6705 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6706 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6707 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6708 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6709 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6710 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6712 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6713 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6715 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6717 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6718 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6719 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6723 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6724 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6725 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6726 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6730 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6732 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6735 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6736 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6737 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6738 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6739 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6740 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6741 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6742 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6743 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6744 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6745 short or long names are found.
6748 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6749 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6751 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6752 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6753 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6754 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6756 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6757 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6758 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6759 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6762 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6763 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6764 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6767 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6768 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6769 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6770 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6771 to allow the various flags to be set.
6774 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6775 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6776 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6777 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6778 dates to be checked.
6781 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6782 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6783 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6786 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6787 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6788 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6791 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6792 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6795 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6796 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6797 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6798 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6799 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6800 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6803 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6804 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6808 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6812 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6813 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6814 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6815 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6816 form signing output easier to verify.
6819 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6822 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6823 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6824 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6825 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6826 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6827 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6828 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6829 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6830 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6831 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6834 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6836 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6837 the syntax given in objects.README.
6838 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6840 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6843 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6844 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6845 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6846 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6847 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6848 consistent name changes.
6851 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6854 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6855 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6856 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6857 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6860 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6861 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6862 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6866 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6867 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6868 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6869 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6872 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6873 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6874 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6875 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6876 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6877 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6878 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6879 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6880 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6881 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6882 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6885 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6886 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6887 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6888 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6889 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6890 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6891 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6892 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6893 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6894 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6897 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6898 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6899 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6900 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6902 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6903 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6904 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6905 omit any duplicate addresses.
6908 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6909 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6912 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6913 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6914 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6915 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6916 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6919 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6921 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6922 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6923 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6924 Free => OPENSSL_free
6927 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6928 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6931 *) CygWin32 support.
6932 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6934 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6935 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6936 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6937 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6938 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6942 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6943 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6944 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6945 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6946 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6947 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6948 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6951 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6952 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6953 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6954 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6955 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6956 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6957 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6958 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6959 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6960 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6961 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6964 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6965 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6966 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6967 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6968 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6970 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6971 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6972 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6973 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6974 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6976 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6979 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6980 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6981 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6982 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6984 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6986 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6989 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6990 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6991 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6994 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6995 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6996 any installed hardware versions can.
6999 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7000 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7001 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7005 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7006 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7007 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7008 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7009 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7011 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7012 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7015 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7016 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7019 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7020 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7021 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7025 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7028 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7029 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7030 but no ssl client purpose.
7031 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7033 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7034 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7035 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7036 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7037 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7038 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7039 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7040 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7041 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7042 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7043 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7046 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7047 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7048 be obtained from the error queue.
7051 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7052 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7053 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7054 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7057 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7060 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7061 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7062 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7063 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7064 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7067 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7068 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7069 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7070 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7071 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7074 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7075 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7076 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7078 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7080 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7081 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7082 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7083 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7084 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7085 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7086 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7087 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7088 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7089 or "the configuration storage API"...
7091 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7093 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7094 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7096 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7098 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7100 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7101 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7102 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7103 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7104 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7105 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7106 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7108 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7109 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7112 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7113 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7114 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7115 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7118 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7119 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7120 them in a portable way.
7121 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7123 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7125 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7127 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7128 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7130 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7131 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7132 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7135 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7136 was larger than the MD block size.
7137 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7139 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7140 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7141 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7142 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7146 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7147 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7148 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7150 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7152 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7154 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7155 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7156 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7157 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7158 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7159 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7161 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7162 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7164 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7165 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7168 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7171 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7172 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7174 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7175 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7176 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7177 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7180 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7181 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7182 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7183 does not suppress any output.
7186 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7187 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7188 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7189 with all the associated security issues.
7191 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7192 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7193 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7194 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7195 use the value in the default purpose.
7198 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7199 and fix a memory leak.
7202 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7203 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7204 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7205 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7208 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7209 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7210 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7211 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7214 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7215 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7216 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7219 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7220 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7223 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7224 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7228 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7229 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7232 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7233 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7234 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7237 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7238 number generation fails.
7241 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7244 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7245 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7247 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7250 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7251 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7253 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7254 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7256 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7258 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7259 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7262 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7263 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7265 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7266 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7269 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7270 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7271 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7272 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7273 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7274 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7276 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7277 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7278 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7282 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7283 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7284 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7285 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7286 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7287 counter, some don't.)
7288 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7289 counters or duplicate objects.
7292 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7293 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7296 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7297 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7298 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7300 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7301 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7302 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7306 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7307 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7310 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7311 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7312 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7316 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7317 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7318 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7321 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7322 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7323 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7324 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7325 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7326 should work without changes.
7329 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7330 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7331 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7332 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7333 must be defined. E.g.,
7334 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7335 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7336 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7337 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7339 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7343 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7344 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7345 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7348 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7349 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7350 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7351 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7354 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7355 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7356 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7357 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7358 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7359 is prompted for as usual.
7362 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7363 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7364 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7365 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7367 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7368 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7369 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7370 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7373 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7376 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7380 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7383 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7386 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7390 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7393 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7396 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7397 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7400 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7401 options to produce them.
7404 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7405 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7408 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7412 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7413 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7414 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7415 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7416 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7417 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7418 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7421 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7424 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7425 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7426 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7429 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7430 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7432 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7433 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7436 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7437 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7438 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7442 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7443 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7445 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7446 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7447 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7448 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7449 generation becomes much faster.
7451 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7452 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7453 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7454 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7455 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7456 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7457 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7458 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7459 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7460 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7463 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7464 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7465 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7466 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7467 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7468 trial division stage.
7471 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
7475 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
7478 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
7481 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
7482 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
7483 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
7487 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
7488 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
7489 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7492 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7493 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7494 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7495 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7497 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7498 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7501 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7504 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7505 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7506 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7507 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7510 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7511 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7512 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7515 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7516 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7517 (instead of parameters) in future.
7520 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7521 when a new cipher list is set.
7524 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7525 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7528 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7529 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7530 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7532 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7533 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7534 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7535 an error is flagged.
7537 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7538 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7539 the readability was also increased :-)
7540 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7542 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7543 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7544 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7545 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7549 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7550 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7553 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7554 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7555 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7556 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7559 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7560 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7561 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7562 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7563 because they handle more complex structures.)
7566 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7567 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7568 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7569 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7571 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7572 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7573 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7574 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
7575 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
7576 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
7577 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
7580 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
7581 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
7582 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
7583 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
7584 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
7587 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
7590 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
7591 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
7592 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
7593 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7594 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7597 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7601 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7602 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7603 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7604 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7607 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7610 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7611 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7612 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7613 international characters are used.
7615 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7616 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7617 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7621 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7622 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7623 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7626 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7627 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7628 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7629 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7630 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7631 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7633 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7634 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7635 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7636 be handled by the string table functions.
7638 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7639 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7640 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7641 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7642 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7646 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7647 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7648 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7649 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7650 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7652 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7653 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7654 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7655 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7658 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7659 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7660 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7661 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7662 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7666 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7667 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7668 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7669 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7670 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7671 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7672 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7673 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7675 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7676 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7677 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7680 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7681 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7682 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7683 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7684 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7685 support to pkcs8 application.
7688 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7689 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7690 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7691 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7692 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7693 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7696 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7697 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7698 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7699 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7700 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7704 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7705 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7706 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7707 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7711 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7712 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7713 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7714 and any application specific purposes.
7716 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7717 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7718 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7719 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7720 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7721 if the certificate is self signed.
7724 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7725 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7728 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7729 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7730 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7731 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7734 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7735 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7736 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7737 Update documentation.
7740 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7741 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7742 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7743 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7744 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7747 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7749 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7751 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7752 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7753 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7754 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7755 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7756 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7757 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7758 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7759 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7760 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7762 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7764 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7765 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7766 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7767 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7768 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7770 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7771 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7772 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7773 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7774 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7775 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7776 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7777 request additional information:
7778 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7779 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7781 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7782 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7783 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7786 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7787 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7790 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7793 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7794 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7796 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7797 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7798 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7802 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7803 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7804 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7806 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7807 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7808 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7809 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7810 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7811 included in OpenSSL.
7814 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7815 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7816 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7817 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7818 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7819 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7822 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7826 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7827 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7828 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7829 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7830 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7834 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7838 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7839 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7840 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7841 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7842 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7843 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7844 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7845 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7846 be maintained manually.
7848 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7849 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7850 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7851 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7852 work because people forget to call this function]
7853 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7854 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7855 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7858 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7859 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7860 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7861 should be discouraged from doing it.
7864 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7865 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7866 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7867 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7868 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7869 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7872 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7873 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7874 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7876 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7877 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7878 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7880 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7881 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7882 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7883 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7884 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7885 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7887 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7888 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7889 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7891 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7892 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7895 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7896 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7897 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7898 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7901 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7904 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7905 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7906 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7907 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7908 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7909 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7910 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7911 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7912 keys so we should be OK.
7914 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7915 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7916 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7917 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7918 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7919 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7920 stay in the name of compatibility.
7922 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7923 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7924 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7926 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7927 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7928 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7929 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7930 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7931 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7935 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7936 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7937 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7938 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7939 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7940 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7941 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7942 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7943 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7944 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7945 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7946 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7947 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7950 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7953 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7954 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7955 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7956 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7957 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7958 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7959 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7960 openssl verify ss.pem
7961 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7962 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7966 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7967 (and add it to external session representation).
7968 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7969 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7970 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7971 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7972 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7973 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7975 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7977 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7978 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7979 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7980 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7982 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7983 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7984 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7987 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7988 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7989 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7993 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7994 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7995 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7997 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7998 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7999 certificate auxiliary information.
8002 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8006 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8007 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8008 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8009 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8010 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8011 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8012 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8015 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8016 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8019 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8020 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8021 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8022 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8025 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8028 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8029 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8032 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8033 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8034 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8035 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8036 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8037 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8038 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8039 using the new 'x509' options.
8041 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8042 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8043 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8044 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8048 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8049 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8050 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8051 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8052 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8055 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8056 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8057 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8058 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8059 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8060 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8061 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8062 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8063 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8064 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8067 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8068 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8069 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8070 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8071 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8072 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8073 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8076 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8077 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8078 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8079 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8080 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8081 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8082 openssl.cnf for more info.
8085 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8086 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8087 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8088 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8089 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8090 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8091 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8092 md should be large enough anyway.
8095 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8096 for handling the random seed file.
8098 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8100 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8103 x509 (when signing).
8104 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8105 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8106 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8108 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8109 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8110 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8111 that support '-rand'.
8114 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8115 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8118 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8119 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8122 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8123 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8124 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8125 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8129 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8130 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8131 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8132 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8135 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8136 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8137 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8138 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8139 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8140 print out all the purposes.
8143 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8147 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8148 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8149 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8150 single function call.
8153 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8154 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8157 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8158 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8159 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8162 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8163 when producing the local key id.
8164 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8166 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8167 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8168 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8172 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8173 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8174 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8175 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8178 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8179 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8180 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8181 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8183 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8184 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8185 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8186 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8188 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8189 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8190 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8191 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8192 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8193 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8194 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8195 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8196 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8197 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8198 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8199 trivial: move one line.
8200 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8202 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8203 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8204 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8205 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8206 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8207 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8208 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8209 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8210 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8211 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8212 with an event loop for example.
8215 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8216 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8217 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8218 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8219 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8220 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8221 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8222 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8223 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8226 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8227 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8228 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8229 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8230 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8231 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8234 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8235 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8236 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8237 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8239 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8240 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8241 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8242 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8246 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8247 (still largely untested)
8250 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8251 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8254 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8255 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8258 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8259 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8260 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8263 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8264 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8265 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8266 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8267 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8270 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8273 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8274 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8275 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8276 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8277 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8281 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8282 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8285 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8288 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8289 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8290 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8291 are otherwise ignored at present.
8294 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8295 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8296 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8297 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8298 copied until the next read.
8301 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8302 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8303 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8306 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8307 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8308 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8309 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8310 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8311 associated functions.
8314 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8315 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8316 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8317 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8318 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8319 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8320 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8321 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8322 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8326 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8327 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8328 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8329 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8332 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8333 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8334 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8335 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8336 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8340 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8341 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8345 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8346 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8347 extensions to be obtained and added.
8350 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8351 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8354 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8356 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8357 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8359 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8360 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8362 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8366 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8367 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8368 DH parameters contain its length).
8370 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8371 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8372 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8373 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8374 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8375 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8376 utter importance to use
8377 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8379 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8380 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8381 attacks may become possible!
8384 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8387 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8388 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8391 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8392 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8393 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8397 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8398 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8399 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8400 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8401 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8402 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8403 private key operations.
8406 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8409 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8410 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8412 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8413 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8414 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8415 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8416 the password callback is called.
8417 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8419 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8421 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8422 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8423 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8424 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8425 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8426 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8429 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8430 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8431 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8432 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8433 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8434 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8437 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8440 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8441 delete an unused file.
8444 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8445 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8446 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8447 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8450 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8451 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8452 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8456 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8457 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8458 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8460 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8461 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8462 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8463 comparison" warnings.
8464 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8467 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8468 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8469 derived keys are printed to stderr.
8472 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
8473 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
8475 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
8476 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
8478 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
8479 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
8480 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
8482 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
8483 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
8484 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
8485 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
8486 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
8488 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
8490 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8491 The interface is as follows:
8492 Applications can use
8493 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8494 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8495 "off" is now the default.
8496 The library internally uses
8497 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8498 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8499 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8501 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8502 even the default) are now avoided.
8504 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8505 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8506 than just having a counter.
8508 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8510 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8514 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8515 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8516 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8517 Initial "mode" flags are:
8519 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8520 a single record has been written.
8521 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8522 retries use the same buffer location.
8523 (But all of the contents must be
8527 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8530 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8531 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8533 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8534 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8535 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8538 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8539 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8541 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8543 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8544 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8545 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8546 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8548 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8549 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8551 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8552 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8553 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8554 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8555 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8556 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8559 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8560 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8561 necessary function names.
8564 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8565 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8566 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8567 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8570 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8571 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8572 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
8575 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
8576 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
8577 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
8578 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
8580 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
8584 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
8585 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
8586 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
8589 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
8590 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8594 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8595 for the encoded length.
8596 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8598 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8601 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8602 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8603 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8604 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8607 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8608 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8609 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8611 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8612 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8613 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8617 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8618 to use the new extension code.
8621 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8622 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8623 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8627 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8628 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8629 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8633 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8636 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8637 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8638 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8641 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8642 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8643 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8644 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8647 *) DES library cleanups.
8650 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8651 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8652 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8653 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8654 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8658 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8659 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8662 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8663 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8664 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8665 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8666 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8667 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8668 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8669 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8670 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8673 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8674 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8675 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8676 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8677 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8678 value doesn't matter.
8681 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8685 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8686 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8687 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8688 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8690 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8693 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8694 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8695 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8697 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8698 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8700 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8703 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8706 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8709 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8713 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8715 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8717 *) Updated some demos.
8718 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8720 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8723 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8726 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8729 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8730 instead of using a fixed path.
8733 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8736 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8740 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8742 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8743 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8744 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8746 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8747 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8748 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8749 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8750 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8751 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8752 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8753 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8754 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8755 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8758 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8759 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8762 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8763 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8764 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8765 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8766 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8768 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8771 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8772 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8773 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8776 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8779 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8780 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8781 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8782 key elements as negative integers.
8785 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8786 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8789 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8791 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8792 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8793 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8796 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8797 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8798 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8799 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8800 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8803 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8806 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8807 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8808 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8809 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8811 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8812 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8813 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8815 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8816 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8817 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8818 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8819 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8820 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8821 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8822 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8823 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8825 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8826 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8827 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8828 does not influence s as it used to.
8830 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8831 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8832 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8833 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8834 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8835 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8838 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8839 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8840 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8844 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8845 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8846 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8850 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8851 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8852 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8856 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8857 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8860 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8861 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8866 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8867 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8869 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8870 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8872 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8875 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8878 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8879 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8881 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8882 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8883 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8887 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8888 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8889 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8890 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8891 now it really counts the depth.
8894 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8895 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8896 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8897 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8898 didn't match the private key).
8900 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8901 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8902 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8905 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8908 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8912 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8913 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8914 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8917 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8920 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8921 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8922 such as /usr/local/bin.
8925 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8926 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8928 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8931 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8932 extension adding in x509 utility.
8935 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8938 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8942 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8945 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8946 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8947 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8948 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8949 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8950 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8951 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8952 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8953 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8954 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8957 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8960 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8961 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8964 *) Fix some race conditions.
8967 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8968 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8971 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8974 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8975 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8976 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8977 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8979 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8980 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8982 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8983 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8984 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8986 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8987 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8989 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8992 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8993 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8995 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8998 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8999 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9001 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9002 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9005 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9006 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9009 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9010 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9013 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9014 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9017 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9018 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9021 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9022 support typesafe stack.
9025 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9026 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9028 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9029 old X509V3 handling code.
9032 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9035 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9038 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9041 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9042 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9044 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9045 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9046 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9047 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9048 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9051 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9052 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9053 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9054 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9055 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9057 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9058 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9059 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9060 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9062 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9063 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9064 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9065 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9067 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9068 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9069 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9070 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9071 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9072 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9075 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9076 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9079 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9080 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9083 *) Tweaks to Configure
9084 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9086 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9090 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9093 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9094 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9097 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9098 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9099 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9102 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9105 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9106 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9109 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9110 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9111 to library startup routines.
9114 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9115 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9116 codes along the way.
9119 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9120 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9121 objects to objects.h
9124 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9125 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9128 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9129 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9131 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9132 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9133 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9135 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9136 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9137 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9139 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9140 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9141 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9144 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9146 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9147 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9150 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9151 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9152 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9153 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9154 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9156 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9157 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9158 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9160 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9162 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9164 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9166 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9167 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9169 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9170 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9171 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9172 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9174 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9177 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9178 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9179 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9180 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9183 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9184 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9185 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9188 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9189 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9190 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9191 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9192 installed as `perl').
9193 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9195 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9196 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9198 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9199 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9200 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9201 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9202 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9205 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9208 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9209 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9210 is horrible: I feel ill....
9213 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9214 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9215 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9216 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9219 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9220 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9222 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9223 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9224 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9225 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9227 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9228 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9229 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9230 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9231 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9232 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9234 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9236 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9237 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9239 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9240 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9242 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9245 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9246 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9250 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9251 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9252 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9253 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9254 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9255 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9256 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9257 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9258 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9259 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9260 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9262 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9265 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9266 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9267 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9268 for linking it into DSOs.
9269 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9271 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9275 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9276 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9277 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9278 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9279 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9280 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9282 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9283 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9284 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9285 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9286 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9287 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9288 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9290 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9291 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9292 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9296 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9297 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9298 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9299 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9302 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9303 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9304 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9305 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9306 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9310 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9311 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9312 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9313 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9314 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9316 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9317 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9318 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9320 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9321 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9323 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9324 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9325 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9326 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9327 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9330 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9331 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9332 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9333 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9334 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9335 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9336 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9339 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9341 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9342 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9345 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9346 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9348 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9349 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9352 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9353 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9354 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9355 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9356 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9358 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9359 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9360 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9361 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9362 no way to reconfigure them.
9363 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9364 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9365 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9366 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9367 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9368 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9370 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9371 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9372 recognized by the users.
9373 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9375 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9376 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9377 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9378 already masked variable.
9379 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9381 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9382 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9384 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9385 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9386 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9387 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9389 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9390 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9391 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9393 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9394 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9395 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9396 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9397 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9398 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9399 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9400 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9402 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9404 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9405 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9406 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9408 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9409 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9413 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9414 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9416 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9417 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9418 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9419 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9422 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9425 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9426 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9428 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9431 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9432 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9435 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9436 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9439 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9440 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9441 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9442 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9443 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9444 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9445 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9448 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9449 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9451 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9452 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9453 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9454 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9455 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9457 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9458 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9459 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9462 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9463 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9467 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9468 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9469 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9471 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
9472 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
9473 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
9477 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
9478 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
9479 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
9480 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
9483 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
9484 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
9485 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
9486 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
9489 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
9490 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9491 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9492 so it wasn't spotted.
9493 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9495 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9496 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9497 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9498 vectors if you have them.
9501 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9502 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9505 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9506 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9507 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9508 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9510 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9511 it will update them.
9514 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9515 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9516 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9517 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9518 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9519 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9520 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9521 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9523 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9524 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9525 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9526 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9527 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9528 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9529 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9530 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9531 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9532 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9534 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9535 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9536 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9537 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9538 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9541 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9545 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9546 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9548 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9549 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9551 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9552 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9555 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9556 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9558 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9559 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9561 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9564 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9568 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9569 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9570 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9571 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9573 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9576 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9579 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
9582 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
9583 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
9586 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
9587 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
9591 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
9592 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9595 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9596 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9597 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9600 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9601 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9602 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9603 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9604 properly to be processed.
9607 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9608 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9609 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9612 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9613 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9615 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9616 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9617 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9618 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9619 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9620 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9621 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9622 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9623 or delete all the .err files.
9626 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9627 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9628 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9629 to regenerate it if needed.
9630 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9631 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9633 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9634 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9636 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9637 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9638 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9639 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9640 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9643 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9644 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9646 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9647 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9649 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9650 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9651 error, but didn't set one).
9652 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9654 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9657 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9658 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9661 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9662 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9664 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9665 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9666 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9667 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9668 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9669 OID is not part of the table.
9672 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9673 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9676 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9679 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9680 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9684 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9685 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9687 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9689 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9691 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9692 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9694 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9695 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9697 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9698 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9700 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9701 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9704 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9705 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9708 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9709 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9711 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9712 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9714 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9715 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9717 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9718 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9720 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9721 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9722 unused in the certificate verification process.
9723 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9725 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9726 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9729 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9730 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9731 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9733 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9734 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9735 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9736 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9737 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9739 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9740 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9743 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9746 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9749 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9750 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9752 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9755 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9758 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9761 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9762 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9763 other error libraries.
9766 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9769 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9770 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9774 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9775 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9776 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9777 the new set of documenation files.
9778 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9780 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9781 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9782 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9783 number of arguments.
9784 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9786 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9789 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9790 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9791 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9793 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9796 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9800 unixware-2.0-pentium
9804 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9805 before they are needed.
9808 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9812 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9814 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9815 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9816 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9818 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9821 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9822 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9823 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9825 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9826 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9827 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9829 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9830 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9831 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9833 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9834 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9836 *) Updated the README file.
9837 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9839 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9840 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9841 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9843 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9844 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9845 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9847 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9848 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9849 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9850 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9851 o removed obsolete TODO file
9852 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9853 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9855 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9856 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9857 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

9860 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9861 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9863 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9866 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9867 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9868 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9870 [The OpenSSL Project]
9873 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9875 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9878 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9881 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9882 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9885 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9886 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9890 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9892 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9894 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9897 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9900 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9903 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9906 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9909 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9912 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9915 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9918 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9921 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9924 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9927 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9930 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9933 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9936 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9939 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9942 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9945 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9946 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9947 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9950 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9951 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
9954 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
9957 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
9960 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
9961 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
9964 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
9967 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
9970 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
9971 bytes sent in the client random.
