5 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
8 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
10 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
11 [Adam Langley (Google)]
13 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
14 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
16 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
17 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
18 [Adam Langley (Google)]
20 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
21 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
22 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
24 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
25 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
26 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
27 the last update always remained unused).
28 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
30 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
31 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
33 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
35 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
36 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
37 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
39 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
40 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
41 [Adam Langley (Google)]
43 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
46 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
47 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
48 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
51 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
52 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
54 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
56 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
58 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
60 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
61 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
63 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
64 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
68 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
70 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
71 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
72 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
75 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
76 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
77 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
80 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
82 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
83 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
84 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
87 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
91 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
93 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
95 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
97 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
99 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
100 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
101 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
104 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
107 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
108 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
109 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
111 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
112 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
113 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
116 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
117 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
120 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
121 some responders need this.
124 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
126 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
128 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
129 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
130 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
133 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
136 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
137 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
138 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
139 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
140 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
141 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
142 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
143 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
146 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
147 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
148 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
149 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
151 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
152 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
154 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
158 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
159 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
160 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
161 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
162 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
163 attempting to work them out.
166 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
167 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
168 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
169 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
172 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
173 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
174 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
175 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
176 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
179 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
180 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
187 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
189 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
193 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
194 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
196 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
197 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
199 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
200 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
201 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
202 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
203 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
206 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
207 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
208 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
211 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
212 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
215 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
216 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
218 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
219 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
222 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
225 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
226 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
227 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
231 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
232 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
233 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
234 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
235 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
236 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
239 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
240 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
242 This work was sponsored by Google.
245 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
246 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
247 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
248 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
249 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
250 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
251 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
254 This work was sponsored by Google.
257 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
259 This work was sponsored by Google.
262 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
263 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
264 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
265 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
267 This work was sponsored by Google.
270 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
271 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
272 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
273 CRL functionality in future.
275 This work was sponsored by Google.
278 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
280 This work was sponsored by Google.
283 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
284 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
286 This work was sponsored by Google.
289 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
290 and URI types are currently supported.
292 This work was sponsored by Google.
295 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
296 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
297 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
298 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
299 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
300 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
301 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
302 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
304 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
305 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
306 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
308 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
309 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
310 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
311 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
313 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
314 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
315 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
316 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
317 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
318 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
319 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
320 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
322 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
324 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
325 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
326 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
328 This work was sponsored by Google.
331 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
334 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
335 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
336 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
339 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
340 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
343 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
344 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
347 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
348 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
349 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
350 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
351 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
352 content types and variants.
355 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
358 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
359 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
360 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
361 files from the associated perl scripts.
364 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
365 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
366 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
368 *) s390x assembler pack.
371 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
375 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
376 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
377 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
378 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
379 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
380 to use. For example, specify an option
382 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
384 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
385 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
386 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
387 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
388 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
389 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
391 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
392 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
393 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
394 return non-zero for success.
396 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
399 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
400 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
404 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
407 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
408 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
409 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
410 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
411 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
412 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
413 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
414 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
415 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
417 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
418 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
419 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
420 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
421 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
422 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
424 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
425 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
426 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
427 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
428 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
429 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
433 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
436 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
438 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
439 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
440 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
443 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
444 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
447 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
448 protection in servers so again support should be possible
449 with no application modification.
451 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
452 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
454 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
455 or server extensions to be examined.
457 This work was sponsored by Google.
460 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
461 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
462 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
464 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
465 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
467 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
469 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
470 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
471 to output in BER and PEM format.
474 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
475 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
476 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
477 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
478 -macopt options to dgst utility.
481 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
482 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
483 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
487 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
488 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
489 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
490 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
491 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
492 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
493 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
494 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
497 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
498 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
499 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
500 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
502 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
503 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
504 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
508 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
509 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
510 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
511 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
512 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
513 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
514 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
515 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
516 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
518 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
519 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
520 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
521 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
522 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
523 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
524 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
525 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
526 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
527 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
528 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
531 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
532 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
533 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
535 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
536 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
540 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
541 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
542 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
545 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
546 it yet and it is largely untested.
549 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
552 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
553 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
554 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
557 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
560 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
561 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
562 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
563 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
566 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
567 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
568 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
569 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
570 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
573 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
574 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
577 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
578 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
579 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
580 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
583 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
584 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
585 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
586 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
589 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
590 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
593 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
594 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
595 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
596 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
599 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
600 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
601 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
604 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
608 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
609 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
612 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
613 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
614 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
618 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
619 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
620 to free up any added signature OIDs.
623 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
624 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
625 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
626 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
629 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
630 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
631 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
632 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
633 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
634 the array representation useful in a more general context.
637 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
638 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
639 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
640 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
641 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
643 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
644 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
645 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
646 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
647 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
650 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
651 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
652 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
653 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
655 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
656 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
657 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
658 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
659 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
665 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
666 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
670 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
671 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
674 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
675 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
678 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
679 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
680 functional reference processing.
683 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
684 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
688 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
689 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
690 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
693 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
694 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
695 application to support multiple signers.
698 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
702 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
703 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
704 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
705 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
706 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
709 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
713 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
714 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
715 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
716 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
720 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
721 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
722 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
723 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
724 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
725 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
726 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
727 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
730 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
731 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
732 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
733 between digests and public key types.
736 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
737 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
738 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
739 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
742 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
743 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
747 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
750 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
754 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
755 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
756 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
757 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
762 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
764 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
766 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
768 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
769 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
770 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
771 functionality for RSA.
774 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
775 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
776 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
779 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
780 key API, doesn't do much yet.
783 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
784 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
785 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
788 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
789 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
792 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
793 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
796 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
797 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
801 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
802 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
803 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
807 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
808 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
809 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
810 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
811 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
812 of public and private key structures.
815 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
816 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
819 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
820 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
821 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
824 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
828 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
829 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
831 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
833 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
835 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
836 and response verification functionality.
837 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
839 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
840 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
841 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
842 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
843 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
844 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
845 server_name extension.
847 New functions (subject to change):
850 SSL_get_servername_type()
853 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
855 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
856 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
857 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
858 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
859 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
861 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
863 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
864 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
865 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
866 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
867 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
868 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
871 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
873 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
876 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
877 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
878 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
879 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
880 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
883 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
884 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
888 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
889 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
890 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
891 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
894 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
895 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
896 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
897 using the maximum available value.
900 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
901 in addition to the text details.
904 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
905 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
906 handle several customised structures at all.
909 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
910 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
911 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
914 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
917 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
918 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
919 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
922 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
923 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
924 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
927 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
928 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
932 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
935 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
938 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [xx XXX xxxx]
940 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
941 [Adam Langley (Google)]
943 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
944 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
946 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
947 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
948 [Adam Langley (Google)]
950 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
951 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
952 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
954 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
955 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
956 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
957 the last update always remained unused).
958 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
960 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
961 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
962 [Adam Langley (Google)]
964 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
967 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
968 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
970 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
972 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
974 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
976 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
977 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
979 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
980 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
984 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
986 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
987 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
988 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
991 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
992 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
993 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
996 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
998 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
999 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1000 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1003 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1006 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1007 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1008 some broken encodings work correctly.
1011 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1012 is also one of the inputs.
1013 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1015 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1016 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1017 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
1021 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
1023 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
1026 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
1027 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
1028 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
1030 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
1031 common in certificates and some applications which only call
1032 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
1036 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
1037 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com

1039 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
1041 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1043 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1044 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1045 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1046 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1047 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1048 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1049 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1050 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1052 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1053 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1054 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1056 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1058 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1059 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1061 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1062 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1065 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1066 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1067 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1070 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1071 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1072 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1073 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1074 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1075 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1078 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1079 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1080 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1083 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1084 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1085 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1086 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1087 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1088 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1092 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1093 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1096 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1097 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1098 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1101 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1104 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1105 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1106 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1107 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1108 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1109 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1110 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1111 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1112 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1115 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1116 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1117 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1120 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1121 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1124 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1125 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1126 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1127 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1128 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1129 know what you are doing.
1130 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1132 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1133 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1134 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1135 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1136 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1137 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1141 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1142 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1143 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1145 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1147 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1148 warnings in other configurations.
1151 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1152 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1153 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1155 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1157 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1158 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1159 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1161 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1162 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1163 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1164 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1167 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1171 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1172 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1174 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1176 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1177 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1178 other than a simple chain.
1179 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1181 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1182 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1183 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1184 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1187 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1188 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1189 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1190 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1191 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1192 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1193 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1194 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1195 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1197 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1198 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1199 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1200 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1201 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1202 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1204 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1206 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1207 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1210 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.

1214 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1216 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1218 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1219 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1220 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1221 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1222 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1226 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1228 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1229 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1230 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1231 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1233 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1234 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1235 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1236 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1238 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1239 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1240 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1243 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1244 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1248 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1249 to handle some structures.
1252 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1254 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1256 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1259 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1262 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1265 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1266 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1270 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1272 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1274 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1276 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1279 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1280 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1281 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1282 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1284 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1285 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1287 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1288 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1291 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1292 s_client and s_server.
1295 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1296 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1298 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1299 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1301 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1302 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1303 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1304 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1305 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1308 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1310 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1311 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1314 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1315 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1318 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1319 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1320 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1321 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1323 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1324 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1326 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1328 *) Various precautionary measures:
1330 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1332 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1333 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1334 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1336 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1337 outside the expected range.
1339 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1342 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1344 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1345 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1346 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1348 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1351 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1354 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1356 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1359 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1360 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1361 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1363 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1366 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1367 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1368 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1372 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1374 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1375 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1376 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1377 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1379 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1380 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1383 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1385 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1386 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1387 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1389 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1391 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1392 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1393 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1394 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1397 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1398 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1399 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1400 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1401 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1402 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1403 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1405 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1407 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1408 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1409 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1410 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1411 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1413 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1414 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1416 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1417 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1418 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1419 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1420 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1422 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1424 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1425 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1426 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1427 sets may exist with different names.
1430 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1431 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1432 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1433 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1434 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1435 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1436 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1437 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1438 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1440 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1442 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1443 implemention in the following ways:
1445 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1448 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1449 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1450 ignored for embedded content.
1452 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1453 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1456 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1457 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1458 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1459 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1461 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1462 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1465 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1466 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1469 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1470 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1471 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1472 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1473 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1474 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1478 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1479 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1480 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1484 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1485 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1486 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1487 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1488 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1489 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
1490 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
1491 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
1493 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
1494 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
1495 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1496 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1497 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1498 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1499 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1501 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1502 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1503 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1504 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1505 to s_client and s_server.
1508 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1510 *) Fix various bugs:
1511 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1512 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1513 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1514 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1515 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1517 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1519 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1520 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1521 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1522 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1523 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1524 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1525 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1526 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1529 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1530 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1531 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1534 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1535 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1536 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1539 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1540 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1543 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1544 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1545 with no application modification.
1547 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1548 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1550 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1551 or server extensions to be examined.
1553 This work was sponsored by Google.
1556 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1557 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1558 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1559 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1560 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1561 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1562 server_name extension.
1564 New functions (subject to change):
1566 SSL_get_servername()
1567 SSL_get_servername_type()
1570 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1572 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1573 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1574 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1575 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1576 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1578 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1580 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1581 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1582 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1583 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1584 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1585 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1588 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1590 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1593 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1596 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1597 (which previously caused an internal error).
1600 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1603 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1604 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1606 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1607 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1608 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1610 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1611 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1612 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1613 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1615 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1616 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1617 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1618 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1620 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1621 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1622 information. For detailed background information, see
1623 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1624 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1625 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1626 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1627 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1628 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1629 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1630 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1631 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1632 remove a conditional branch.
1634 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1635 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1636 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1637 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1638 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1639 remains as a deprecated alias.
1641 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1642 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1643 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1644 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1646 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1647 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1648 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1649 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1650 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1651 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1652 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1653 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1655 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1657 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1658 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1659 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1660 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1661 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1662 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1663 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1664 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1665 in a different context.
1668 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1669 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1670 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1673 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1674 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1675 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1677 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1679 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1680 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1681 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1682 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1683 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1686 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1687 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1688 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1689 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1690 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1691 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1694 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1695 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1696 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1697 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1698 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1701 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1702 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1704 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1705 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1706 Improve header file function name parsing.
1709 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1710 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1713 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1715 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1716 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1717 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1719 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1720 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1722 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1723 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1725 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1726 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1727 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1729 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1730 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1731 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1732 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1733 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1734 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1735 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1736 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1737 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1739 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1740 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1741 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1742 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1743 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1745 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1746 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1747 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1748 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1749 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1750 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1751 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1752 multiple values to extend the available space.
1756 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1758 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1759 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1761 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1764 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1765 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1766 undesirable limitations.
1767 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1769 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1770 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1771 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1772 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1773 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1774 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1775 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1778 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1780 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1781 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1782 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1784 The latter two were purportedly from
1785 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1788 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1789 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1790 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1793 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1794 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1797 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1798 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1799 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1800 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1802 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1803 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1804 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1807 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1808 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1809 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1810 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1811 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1812 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1815 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1817 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1818 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1821 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1822 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1824 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1825 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1826 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1827 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1830 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1831 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1834 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1835 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1836 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1837 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1838 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1839 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1840 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1844 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1845 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1846 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1847 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1850 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1851 under VC++ build system.
1854 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1855 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1858 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1860 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1861 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1862 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1863 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1864 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1866 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1867 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1868 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1870 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1873 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1874 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1877 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1878 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1880 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1883 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1884 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1886 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1887 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1890 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1891 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1895 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1897 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1900 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1903 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1904 key into the same file any more.
1907 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1910 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1911 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1913 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1914 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1917 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1918 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1919 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1920 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1921 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1922 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1924 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1925 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1926 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1929 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1930 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1931 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1932 - add new function for parameter creation
1933 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1934 BN_BLINDING parameters
1935 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1936 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1937 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1941 *) Add support for DTLS.
1942 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1944 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1945 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1948 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1949 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1952 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1953 the apps/openssl applications.
1956 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1957 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1958 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1961 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1962 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1964 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1965 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1967 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1968 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1969 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1970 avoid this algorithm.)
1974 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1975 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1976 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1979 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1980 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1983 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1984 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1985 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1988 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1990 The blank line is mandatory.
1994 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1995 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1999 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2000 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2002 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2003 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2004 to support policy checking and print out.
2007 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2008 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2009 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2010 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2012 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2015 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2016 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2018 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2019 implementation contributed by IBM.
2020 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2022 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2023 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2024 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2025 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2027 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2028 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2030 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2031 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2032 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2033 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2034 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2035 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2038 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2039 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2040 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2041 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2042 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2043 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2044 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2047 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2050 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2051 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2052 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2053 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2054 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2055 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2056 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2057 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2060 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2061 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2062 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2063 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2066 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2069 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2072 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2073 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2074 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2075 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2076 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2077 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2078 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2081 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2082 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2085 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2086 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2087 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2090 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2091 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2092 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2096 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2097 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2100 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2101 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2102 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2103 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2106 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2107 initialised value as BN_new().
2108 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2110 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2113 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2114 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2115 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2116 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2117 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2118 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2119 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2120 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2121 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2122 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2123 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2124 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2125 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2126 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2127 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2129 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2130 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2131 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2132 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2135 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2136 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2137 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2138 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2139 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2140 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2141 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2142 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2143 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2146 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2147 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2148 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2149 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2150 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2151 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2152 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2155 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2156 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2157 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2158 these have been updated also.
2161 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2162 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2163 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2164 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2165 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2169 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2170 structure of type "other".
2173 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2174 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2175 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2176 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2177 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2178 situation in the script.
2179 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2181 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2182 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2183 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2184 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2185 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2186 used as premaster secret.
2187 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2189 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2190 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2191 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2193 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2194 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2196 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2197 control of the error stack.
2200 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2203 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2204 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2205 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2206 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2209 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2210 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2211 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2214 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2215 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2216 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2220 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2221 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2222 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2223 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2226 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2227 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2228 the following flags are defined:
2230 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2231 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2232 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2235 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2236 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2237 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2238 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2242 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2243 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2244 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2245 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2246 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2249 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2250 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2251 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2254 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2255 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2256 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2257 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2258 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2259 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2262 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2266 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2269 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2272 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2275 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2276 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2277 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2278 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2279 default implementation more easily.
2282 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2286 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2287 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2290 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2291 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2292 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2293 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2295 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2296 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2297 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2298 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2301 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2302 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2306 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2307 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2308 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2309 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2310 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2311 scalar * generator).
2312 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2314 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2315 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2316 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2320 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2321 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2322 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2323 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2324 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2325 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2326 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2327 linker additions, eg;
2328 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2331 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2332 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2333 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2336 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2337 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2338 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2342 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2343 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2344 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2345 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2348 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2349 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2350 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2351 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2352 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2353 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2354 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2355 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2356 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2357 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2359 Example for using the new callback interface:
2361 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2365 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2367 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2368 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2369 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2370 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2371 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2372 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2377 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2378 available to TLS with the number defined in
2379 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2382 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2383 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2385 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2386 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2387 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2388 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2390 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2391 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2393 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2394 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2398 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2399 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2402 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2403 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2404 and a macro that behave like
2405 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2407 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2410 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2411 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2412 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2414 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2416 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2419 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2420 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2421 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2422 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2424 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2425 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2426 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2427 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2428 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2429 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2430 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2431 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2433 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2434 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2437 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2438 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2440 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2441 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2442 files while avoiding the low level API.
2444 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2445 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2446 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2447 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2449 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2450 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2451 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2452 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2453 instead of the low level API.
2456 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2457 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2458 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2459 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2460 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2463 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2464 down to the template encoder.
2467 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2468 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2471 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2472 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2473 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2474 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2476 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2477 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2479 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2480 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2482 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2483 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2486 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2487 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2488 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2491 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2492 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2494 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2495 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2497 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2498 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2501 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2505 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2506 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2507 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2508 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2509 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2510 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2512 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2513 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2516 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2517 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2518 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2519 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2520 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2521 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2522 various internal method names.)
2524 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2525 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2527 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2528 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2530 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2531 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2533 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2534 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2535 methods are undefined.
2537 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2538 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2540 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2541 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2542 length of the modulus.
2544 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2545 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2547 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2548 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2550 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2551 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2553 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2554 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2555 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2558 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2559 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2560 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2561 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2563 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2564 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2565 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2566 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2568 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2569 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2571 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2572 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2573 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2574 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2575 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2577 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2578 This applies to the following functions:
2583 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2584 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2586 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2587 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2591 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2596 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2598 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2599 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2600 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2601 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2602 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2604 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2605 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2607 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2608 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2609 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2611 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2612 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2614 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2615 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2616 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2617 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2618 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2620 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2622 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2623 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2624 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2625 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2626 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2627 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2628 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2629 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2630 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2631 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2632 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2633 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2635 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2638 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2639 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2640 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2641 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2643 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2644 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2645 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2646 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2651 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2652 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2653 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2654 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2655 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2657 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2658 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2659 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2660 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2661 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2662 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2663 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2664 adding different types of curves.
2665 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2667 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2668 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2669 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2672 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2673 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2675 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2676 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2677 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2678 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2680 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2682 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2683 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2685 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2686 library. Most notably,
2687 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2688 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2689 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2690 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2691 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2692 extracted before the specific public key;
2693 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2694 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2696 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2697 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2699 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2700 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2701 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2702 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2704 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2705 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2706 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2708 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2709 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2710 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2711 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2712 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2713 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2717 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2719 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2721 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2723 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2724 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2725 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2728 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2729 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2730 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2733 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2736 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2737 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2740 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2741 run algorithm test programs.
2744 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2747 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2748 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2749 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2750 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2751 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2754 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2755 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2758 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2760 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2761 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2762 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2764 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2765 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2767 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2768 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2770 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2771 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2772 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2774 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2775 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2776 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2777 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2778 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2779 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2780 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2783 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2785 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2786 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2788 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2789 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2790 undesirable limitations.
2791 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2793 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2795 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2796 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2797 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2799 The latter two were purportedly from
2800 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2803 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2804 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2805 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2808 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2809 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2812 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2814 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2815 module in FIPS mode.
2818 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2821 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2822 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2823 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2824 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2827 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2829 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2830 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2831 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2832 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2833 the difference induced by this change.
2836 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2838 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2839 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2840 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2841 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2842 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2844 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2845 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2846 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2848 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2849 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2852 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2853 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2854 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2855 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2859 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2860 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2861 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2862 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2863 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2865 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2866 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2867 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2868 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2869 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2870 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2872 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2874 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2875 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2876 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2877 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2878 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2881 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2885 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2886 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2887 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2890 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2891 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2892 structures constant.
2895 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2897 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2900 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2901 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2902 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2903 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2904 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2905 some needed definitions.
2908 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2911 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2912 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2913 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2914 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2917 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2919 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2920 server and client random values. Previously
2921 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2922 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2924 This change has negligible security impact because:
2926 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2929 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2932 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2933 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2936 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2939 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2941 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2944 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2945 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2946 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2948 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2951 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2952 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2955 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2956 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2957 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2959 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2962 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2963 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2964 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2968 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2969 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2970 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2971 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2973 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2974 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2975 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2976 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2980 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2982 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2983 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2984 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2985 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2986 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2989 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2992 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2993 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2995 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2996 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2997 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2998 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2999 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3000 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3001 rather than being initialized to 1.
3004 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3006 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3007 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3008 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3010 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3012 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3014 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3015 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3016 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3017 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3018 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3019 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3022 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3023 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3024 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3025 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3026 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3030 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3031 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3032 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3033 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3034 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3037 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3038 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3039 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3043 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3044 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3046 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3049 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3051 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3053 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3054 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3056 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3058 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3059 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3063 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3064 exiting on the first error in a request.
3067 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3068 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3072 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3073 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3074 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3075 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3077 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3078 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3081 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3082 blocks during encryption.
3085 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3086 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3087 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3088 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3092 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3093 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3094 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3095 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3096 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3100 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3102 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3103 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3104 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3105 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3108 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3109 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3110 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3111 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3112 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3114 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3115 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3116 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3117 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3118 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3119 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3120 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3121 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3122 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3125 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3126 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3127 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3128 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3131 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3132 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3135 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3137 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3138 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3139 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3140 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3141 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3143 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3144 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3145 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3147 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3148 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3149 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3150 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3151 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3153 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3154 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3155 used by default when no-err is given.
3158 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3159 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3161 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3162 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3163 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3164 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3165 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3167 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3168 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3169 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3170 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3172 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3174 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3176 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3178 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3179 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3180 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3181 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3185 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3186 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3188 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3189 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3192 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3193 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3194 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3195 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3198 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3199 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3200 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3201 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3202 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3203 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3204 followup to PR #377.
3207 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3208 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3211 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3212 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3213 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
3214 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
3216 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
3218 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3221 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3222 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3223 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3224 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
3226 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3230 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
3231 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
3235 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3236 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3237 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3238 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3239 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3240 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3242 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3243 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3244 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3245 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3246 have to be made anyway).
3249 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3250 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3251 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3254 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3255 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3256 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3259 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3260 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3261 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3263 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3264 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3265 edit numbers of the version.
3266 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3268 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3269 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
3270 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
3272 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
3273 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3275 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3276 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3277 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3279 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
3280 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3282 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
3283 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3285 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
3286 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3288 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
3289 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3291 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
3293 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3295 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
3296 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
3297 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3299 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
3300 representations in a platform independent manner.
3301 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3303 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3304 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3305 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3307 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
3309 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3311 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
3312 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3314 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
3316 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3318 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
3319 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
3320 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3322 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
3324 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3326 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
3327 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3329 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
3330 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3332 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
3333 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3335 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
3336 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3338 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
3340 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3342 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
3343 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3345 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
3346 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3348 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
3349 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
3351 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3353 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
3354 the 0.9.6 release series:
3356 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3357 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
3359 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3361 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
3364 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3365 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
3367 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3368 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3370 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3371 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3372 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3373 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3375 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3376 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3377 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3379 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3380 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3381 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3382 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3384 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3385 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3386 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3389 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3390 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3391 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3392 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3393 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3394 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3395 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3396 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3399 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3400 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3401 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3404 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3405 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3406 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3407 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3408 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3410 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3411 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3413 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3414 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3417 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3418 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3419 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3420 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3421 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3422 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3425 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3426 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3427 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3430 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3431 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3434 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3435 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3436 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3437 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3438 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3439 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3440 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3443 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3444 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3445 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3446 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3447 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3448 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3451 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3452 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3453 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3454 declaration has been changed from
3457 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3458 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3459 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3460 has been changed into
3461 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3463 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3464 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3465 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3467 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3468 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3470 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3471 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3472 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3473 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3474 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3475 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3476 always load it have also been added.
3479 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3480 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3481 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3483 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3485 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3486 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3487 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3489 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3490 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3491 command line option can be used to specify an
3495 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3496 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3499 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3500 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3501 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3504 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3505 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3506 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3507 to work with the new engine framework.
3508 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3510 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3511 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3512 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3513 to work with the new engine framework.
3516 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3517 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3518 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3520 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3521 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3523 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3524 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3525 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3526 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3528 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3530 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3531 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3533 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3534 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3536 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3537 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3538 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3541 *) Add new functions
3543 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3544 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3545 These are similar to
3548 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3549 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3550 still in the error queue.
3551 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3553 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3555 default_algorithms = ALL
3556 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3559 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3562 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3565 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3566 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3567 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3568 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3570 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3571 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3573 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3574 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3576 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3577 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3580 *) New functions/macros
3582 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3583 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3584 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3585 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3587 to request calling a callback function
3589 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3590 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3592 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3593 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3594 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3595 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3596 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3597 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3598 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3599 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3600 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3601 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3603 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3604 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3607 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3608 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3609 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3610 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3611 the configuration scripts.
3613 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3614 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3615 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3617 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3618 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3620 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3621 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3622 when reusing an existing buffer.
3625 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3626 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3629 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3630 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3633 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3634 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3635 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3636 has the same effect.
3637 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3639 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3640 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3641 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3642 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3643 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3644 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3647 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3648 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3649 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3650 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3652 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3653 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3654 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3655 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3657 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3658 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3661 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3662 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3663 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3664 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3665 default), and then completely removed.
3668 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3669 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3670 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3671 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3672 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3673 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3674 particular extension is supported.
3677 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3678 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3681 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3682 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3683 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3684 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3685 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3686 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3687 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3688 requires the destination to be valid.
3690 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3691 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3694 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3695 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3696 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3699 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3700 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3702 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3703 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3704 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3705 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3706 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3707 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3708 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3709 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3710 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3711 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3712 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3713 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3714 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3715 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3716 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3717 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3718 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3719 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3720 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3724 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3727 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3728 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3729 become part of libeay.num as well.
3732 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3733 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3734 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3735 false once a handshake has been completed.
3736 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3737 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3738 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3739 client has followed the request.)
3742 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3743 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3744 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3745 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3747 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3748 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3749 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3752 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3755 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3756 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3757 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3760 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3761 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3764 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3765 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3766 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3767 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3770 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3771 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3772 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3773 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3774 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3775 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3778 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3779 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3780 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3781 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3782 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3783 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3784 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3785 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3788 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3789 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3792 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3795 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3796 md_data void pointer.
3799 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3800 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3801 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3802 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3803 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3804 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3807 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3808 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3809 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3810 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3811 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3812 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3813 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3814 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3815 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3816 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3817 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3818 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3819 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3820 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3821 rather than letting it slide.
3823 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3824 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3825 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3828 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3829 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3830 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3831 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3832 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3833 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3834 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3835 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3836 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3839 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3840 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3841 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3842 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3843 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3845 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3848 *) Add EVP test program.
3851 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3854 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3855 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3856 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3857 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3858 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3861 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3862 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3863 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3864 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3865 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3866 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3867 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3869 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3870 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3871 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3876 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3877 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3878 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3879 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3880 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3884 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3885 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3886 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3887 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3890 des_key_schedule ks;
3892 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3893 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3895 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3898 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3899 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3900 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3901 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3902 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3903 functions prevents this.
3906 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3909 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3910 correct _ecb suffix.
3913 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3914 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3915 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3916 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3917 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3920 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3923 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3924 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3925 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3926 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3928 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3929 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3931 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3932 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3933 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3934 via Richard Levitte]
3936 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3937 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3938 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3939 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3942 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3945 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3946 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3960 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3961 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3963 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3964 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3965 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3966 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3967 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3968 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3971 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3972 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3975 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3976 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3977 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3978 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3980 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3981 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3982 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3983 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3984 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3985 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3989 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3990 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3991 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3992 and interrupts/cancellations.
3995 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3996 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3999 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4000 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4001 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4003 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4004 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4008 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4009 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4010 than this minimum value is recommended.
4013 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4014 that are easily reachable.
4017 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4018 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4020 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4022 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4023 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4024 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4025 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4028 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4029 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4030 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4033 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4034 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4035 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4036 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4037 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4038 internally such as S/MIME.
4040 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
4041 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
4042 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
4044 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
4048 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
4049 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
4050 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
4051 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
4053 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4055 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
4057 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
4058 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4059 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4063 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4064 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4065 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4066 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4067 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4068 a window system and the like.
4071 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4072 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4075 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4076 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4077 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4078 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4079 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4080 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4081 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4082 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4083 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4087 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4088 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4092 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4093 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4094 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4095 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4096 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4097 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4098 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4099 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4102 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4103 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4104 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4105 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4106 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4107 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4108 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4109 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4110 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4111 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4112 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4113 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4114 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4115 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4116 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4117 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4118 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4121 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4122 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4123 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4124 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4125 internal engine_int.h header.
4128 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4129 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4130 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4131 modify their own ones).
4134 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4135 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4136 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4137 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4138 later on via ctrl() commands.
4139 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4140 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4141 structural references.
4142 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
4143 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
4144 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
4145 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
4146 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
4147 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
4148 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
4149 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4150 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4151 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4152 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4153 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4156 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4157 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4158 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4159 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4160 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4161 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4162 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4163 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4166 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4167 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4170 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4171 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4174 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4175 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4176 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4177 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4178 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4179 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4180 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4183 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4184 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4185 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4186 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4187 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4189 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4190 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4194 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4196 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4197 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4198 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4200 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4201 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4203 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4204 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4205 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4207 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4208 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4210 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4211 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4213 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4215 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4216 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4217 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4220 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4221 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4224 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4225 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4226 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4227 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4228 is 40 of more characters long.
4231 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4232 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4236 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4237 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4240 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4241 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4245 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4247 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4248 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4251 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4253 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4254 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4255 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4257 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4258 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4260 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4263 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4267 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4268 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4269 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4270 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4272 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4274 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4275 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4277 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4278 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4279 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4280 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4281 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4282 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4284 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4285 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4287 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4288 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4290 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4291 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4293 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4294 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4295 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4296 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4298 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4299 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4301 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4302 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4304 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4305 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4306 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4307 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4308 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4311 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4312 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4313 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4314 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4317 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4318 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4319 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4323 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4324 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4325 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4326 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4327 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4328 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4329 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4330 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4334 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4335 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4338 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4339 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4340 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4341 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4344 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4345 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4346 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4347 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4348 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4349 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4350 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4351 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4352 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4353 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4356 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4357 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4358 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4359 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4360 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4361 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4362 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4363 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4365 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4366 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4367 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4368 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4371 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4372 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4373 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4374 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4376 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4377 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4378 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4379 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4380 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4384 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4385 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4386 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4387 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4391 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4392 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4393 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4396 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4397 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4398 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4399 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4400 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4403 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4406 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4407 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4408 option to ocsp utility.
4411 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4412 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4413 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4414 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4415 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4416 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4417 the request is nonce-less.
4420 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4421 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4422 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4425 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4426 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4427 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4430 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4431 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4432 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4433 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4434 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4437 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4438 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4442 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4443 additional certificates supplied.
4446 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4447 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4451 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4452 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4455 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4456 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4457 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4458 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4459 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4460 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4461 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4462 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4463 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4465 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4466 request to response.
4469 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4470 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4471 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4472 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4473 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4474 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4475 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4476 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4477 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4478 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4479 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4482 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4483 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4484 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4485 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4488 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4489 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4491 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4492 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4493 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4496 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4497 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4498 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4499 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4500 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4502 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4503 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4504 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4507 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4508 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4509 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4510 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4511 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4512 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4513 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4514 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4516 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4517 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4518 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4519 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4520 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4521 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4524 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4525 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4526 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4527 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4528 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4529 printout format cleaned up.
4532 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4533 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4534 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4535 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4536 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4537 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4538 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4539 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4542 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4543 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4544 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4545 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4546 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4547 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4548 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4549 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4552 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4553 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4554 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4555 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4557 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4559 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4560 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4561 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4562 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4565 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4566 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4567 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4568 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4570 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4572 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4573 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4574 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4575 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4577 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4578 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4580 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4581 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4582 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4585 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4586 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4587 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4590 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4591 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4592 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4593 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4594 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4595 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4596 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4597 functions are provided:
4599 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4600 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4601 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4602 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4604 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4605 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4606 extended allocation function is enabled.
4607 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4608 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4609 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4611 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4612 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4613 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4614 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4615 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4618 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4619 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4620 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4622 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4623 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4624 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4627 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4628 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4629 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4630 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4631 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4632 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4633 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4634 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4635 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4638 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4639 provide utility functions which an application needing
4640 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4641 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4642 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4644 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4645 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4646 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4647 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4648 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4649 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4650 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4651 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4652 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4654 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4655 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4656 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4657 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4660 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4661 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4662 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4663 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4664 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4665 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4666 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4667 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4668 will be added elsewhere.
4671 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4672 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4673 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4674 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4677 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4678 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4679 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4680 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4681 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4682 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4683 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4684 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4685 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4686 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4687 to produce the required SET OF.
4690 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4691 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4692 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4695 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4696 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4697 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4698 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4699 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4700 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4703 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4704 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4705 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4708 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4709 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4710 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4713 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4714 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4715 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4716 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4717 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4720 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4721 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4724 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4725 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4726 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4727 certifcates and CRLs.
4730 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4731 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4732 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4735 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4736 entries for variables.
4739 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4740 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4741 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4742 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4745 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4746 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4747 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4748 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4749 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4750 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4753 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4754 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4756 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4757 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4758 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4761 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4765 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4766 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4767 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4768 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4769 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4770 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4773 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4776 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4777 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4778 for now but they will eventually go away.
4781 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4782 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4783 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4784 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4785 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4786 has also been converted to the new form.
4789 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4790 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4791 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4792 for negative moduli.
4795 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4796 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4799 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4803 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4804 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4805 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4806 type-specific callbacks.
4809 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4811 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4812 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4814 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4815 in sections depending on the subject.
4818 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4822 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4823 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4824 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4825 be handled deterministically).
4826 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4828 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4829 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4830 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4833 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4836 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4837 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4838 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4839 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4840 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4843 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4844 sign of the number in question.
4846 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4848 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4849 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4850 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4851 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4852 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4855 *) New function BN_swap.
4858 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4859 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4860 results on negative inputs.
4863 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4864 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4865 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4868 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4869 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4870 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4871 and add new functions:
4880 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4884 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4886 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4887 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4889 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4890 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4891 be reduced modulo m.
4892 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4895 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4896 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4897 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4899 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4900 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4901 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4902 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4903 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4904 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4909 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4910 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4911 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4912 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4913 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4915 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4916 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4917 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4921 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4924 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4925 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4928 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4929 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4930 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4931 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4935 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4938 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4941 *) Add the following functions:
4943 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4945 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4947 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4949 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4950 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4951 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4952 libraries unless it's really needed.
4954 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4955 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4956 declarations (they differed!).
4959 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4962 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4965 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4968 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4969 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4972 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4973 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4974 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4976 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4977 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4980 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4983 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4986 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4989 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4990 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4991 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4993 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4994 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4995 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4996 different shared library filenames on each system.
4999 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5002 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5003 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5004 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5006 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5009 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5010 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5011 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5012 binary backward compatibility.
5013 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5014 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5015 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5019 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5020 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5021 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5022 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5026 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5029 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5030 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5031 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5032 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5036 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5039 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
5041 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5042 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5043 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5045 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
5047 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
5049 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
5050 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
5053 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
5055 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5057 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5058 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5060 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5061 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5065 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5066 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5070 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5071 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5072 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5073 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5075 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5076 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5079 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5081 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5082 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5083 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5084 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5087 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5088 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5089 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5090 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5091 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5093 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5094 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5095 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5096 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5097 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5098 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5099 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5100 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5101 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5104 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5106 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5107 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5108 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5109 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5110 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5112 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5113 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5114 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5116 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5118 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5119 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5120 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5121 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5122 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5123 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5126 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5127 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5128 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5129 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5130 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5133 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5134 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5135 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5137 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5138 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5139 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
5143 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
5144 being properly terminated.
5147 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
5148 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
5149 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
5150 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
5152 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
5153 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
5154 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
5155 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
5156 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
5157 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
5158 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
5160 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5162 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5163 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5166 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5167 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5168 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
5169 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
5170 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
5171 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
5172 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
5173 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
5175 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5176 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5177 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5178 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5179 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5181 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5182 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5185 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5187 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5188 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5189 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5191 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5193 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5194 and get fix the header length calculation.
5195 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5196 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5199 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5200 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5201 assertions could call abort()).
5202 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5204 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5206 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5207 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5208 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5210 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5212 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5213 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5214 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5217 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5221 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5222 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5223 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5225 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5226 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5227 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5228 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5229 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5233 *) Changes in security patch:
5235 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5236 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5237 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5240 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5241 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5242 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5243 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5244 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5246 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
5248 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5250 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5251 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5252 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
5254 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5255 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5256 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5258 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5259 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5260 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5262 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5264 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5265 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5266 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5268 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5269 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5271 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5272 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5273 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5274 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5275 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5276 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5279 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5280 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5281 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5282 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5285 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5288 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5289 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5290 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5291 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5292 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5293 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5295 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5296 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5297 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5298 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5299 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5302 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5303 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5304 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5305 BN_generate_prime().)
5307 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5308 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5309 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5313 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5314 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5317 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5318 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5319 when using non-blocking I/O.
5320 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5322 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5323 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5325 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5326 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5329 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5330 configuration for the versions before that.
5331 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5333 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5334 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5335 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5336 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5339 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5340 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5341 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5344 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5348 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5349 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5350 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5352 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5353 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5355 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5356 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5357 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5358 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5359 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5360 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5361 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5364 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5365 using a local variable.
5366 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5368 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5369 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5370 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5372 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5375 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5376 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5378 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5379 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5380 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5382 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5384 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5385 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5386 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5387 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5390 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5394 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5395 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5396 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5397 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5398 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5400 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5401 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5402 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5404 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5405 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5406 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5408 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5409 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5410 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5411 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5413 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5414 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5415 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5417 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5419 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5420 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5422 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5424 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5425 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5426 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5427 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5429 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5430 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5431 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5432 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5434 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5435 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5437 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5438 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5439 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5442 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5443 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5444 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5446 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5448 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5449 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5450 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5451 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5452 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5453 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5454 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5457 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5458 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5459 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5460 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5462 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5463 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5464 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5465 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5466 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5467 the client will at least see that alert.
5470 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5474 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5475 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5476 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5478 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5479 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5480 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5481 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5484 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5485 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5486 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5488 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5489 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5490 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5491 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5492 may leak via logfiles.)
5494 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5495 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5496 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5497 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5501 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5502 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5505 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5506 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5507 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5508 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5509 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5512 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5513 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5515 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5516 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5517 followed by modular reduction.
5518 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5520 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5521 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5524 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5525 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5526 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5527 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5530 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5533 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5534 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5537 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5538 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5539 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5540 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5541 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5542 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5544 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5546 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5547 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5548 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5549 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5550 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5552 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5555 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5556 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5557 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5558 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5559 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5560 to allow the necessary settings.
5563 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5564 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5565 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5566 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5569 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5570 dh->length and always used
5572 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5574 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5575 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5576 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5577 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5578 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5583 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5585 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5591 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5592 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5593 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5594 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5596 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5597 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5598 always reject numbers >= n.
5601 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5602 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5603 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5604 variable) is not atomic.
5607 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5608 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5609 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5610 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5612 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5613 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5615 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5617 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5619 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5622 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5624 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5625 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5626 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5627 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5628 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5629 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5630 to traverse all of 'state'.
5632 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5633 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5634 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5636 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5637 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5639 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5640 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5641 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5642 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5643 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5644 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5645 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5646 further strengthens the PRNG.
5649 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5652 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5653 an error message in this case.
5656 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5659 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5660 positive and less than q.
5663 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5664 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5666 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5668 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5669 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5673 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5675 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5676 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5677 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5678 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5679 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5680 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5681 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5684 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5685 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5686 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5687 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5689 Both problems are now fixed.
5692 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5693 (previously it was 1024).
5696 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5697 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5700 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5703 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5704 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5705 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5708 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5709 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5710 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5711 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5712 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5713 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5714 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5715 environment variables.
5717 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5718 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5719 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5722 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5723 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5724 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5725 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5726 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5727 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5730 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5734 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5736 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5737 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5739 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5740 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5741 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5742 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5746 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5747 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5748 amount of data available.
5749 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5750 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5752 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5753 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5754 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5755 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5758 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5759 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5763 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5764 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5765 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5766 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5769 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5772 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5775 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5776 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5778 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5780 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5781 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5782 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5783 (but broken) behaviour.
5786 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5788 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5790 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5791 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5794 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5798 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5799 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5801 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5804 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5805 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5806 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5808 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5809 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5810 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5813 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5814 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5817 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5818 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5820 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5822 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5824 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5825 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5826 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5827 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5830 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5833 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5834 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5835 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5837 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5840 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5842 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5843 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5844 but the code is actually correct.
5847 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5848 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5849 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5850 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5851 and leaves the highest bit random.
5852 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5854 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5855 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5856 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5857 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5858 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5859 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5860 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5863 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5866 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5867 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5870 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5871 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5872 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5873 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5877 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5878 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5879 and break the signature.
5881 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5883 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5887 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5888 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5889 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5890 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5891 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5894 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5895 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5897 *) ./config script fixes.
5898 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5900 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5903 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5904 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5905 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5906 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5907 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5909 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5910 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5913 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5914 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5917 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5918 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5919 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5920 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5922 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5923 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5925 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5926 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5927 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5928 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5929 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5931 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5934 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5937 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5940 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5943 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5944 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5947 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5948 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5949 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5950 result of the server certificate verification.)
5953 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5954 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5955 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5959 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5960 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5961 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5962 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5963 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5964 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5965 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5966 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5969 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5970 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5971 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5972 happening the other way round.
5975 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5976 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5979 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5980 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5981 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5982 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5985 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5986 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5988 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5990 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5991 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5992 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5995 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5997 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5999 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6003 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6005 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6006 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6007 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6008 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6009 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6011 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6012 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6016 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6019 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6021 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6022 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6023 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6024 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6025 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6026 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6027 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6028 by the Finished messages.
6031 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6032 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6034 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6035 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6036 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6037 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6038 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
6042 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
6043 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
6044 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
6045 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
6046 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
6047 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
6048 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
6049 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
6050 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
6054 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
6055 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
6056 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
6057 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6059 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6060 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6061 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6062 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6063 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6066 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6067 been tested well enough.
6070 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6071 it can return incorrect results.
6072 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6073 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6076 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6077 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6078 include zero length content when signing messages.
6081 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6082 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6085 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6088 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6092 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6093 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6094 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6095 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6096 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6097 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6100 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6101 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6103 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6104 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6106 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6107 random number < q in the DSA library.
6110 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6111 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6112 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6113 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6114 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6115 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6116 just makes things more complicated.)
6119 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6123 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6124 work better on such systems.
6125 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6127 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6128 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6129 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6132 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6133 if there was more than one signature.
6134 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6136 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6137 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6138 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6139 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6142 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
6143 rather than always using the current time.
6146 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
6147 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
6148 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
6149 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
6150 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
6151 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
6153 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
6154 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
6156 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
6158 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
6159 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
6160 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
6161 the same hash value.
6163 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6164 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6165 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6166 with X509_STORE internally.
6168 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6169 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6171 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6172 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6173 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6174 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6175 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6176 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6177 entirely (maybe later...).
6179 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6181 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6182 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6183 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6184 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6185 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6186 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6187 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6188 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6190 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6191 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6193 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6194 to customise the verify behaviour.
6197 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6198 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6201 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6202 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6203 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6204 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6205 request is improperly encoded.
6208 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6209 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6212 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6213 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6215 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6216 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6220 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6221 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6222 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6225 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6226 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6227 BIO/fp routines also added.
6230 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6231 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6233 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6234 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6235 demos/state_machine.
6238 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6239 generation and verification.
6242 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6243 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6244 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6245 encode and decode it manually.
6248 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6250 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6252 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6253 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6254 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6255 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6257 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6258 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6259 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6260 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6261 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6264 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6267 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6268 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6269 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6271 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6272 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6273 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6274 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6275 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6276 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6277 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6278 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6280 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6281 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6283 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6285 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6286 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6287 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6291 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6292 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6293 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6294 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6298 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6300 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6303 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6304 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6305 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6306 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6307 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6308 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6309 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6310 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6311 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6312 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6313 short or long names are found.
6316 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6317 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6319 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6320 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6321 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6322 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6324 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6325 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6326 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6327 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6330 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6331 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6332 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6335 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6336 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6337 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6338 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6339 to allow the various flags to be set.
6342 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6343 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6344 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6345 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6346 dates to be checked.
6349 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6350 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6351 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6354 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6355 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6356 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6359 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6360 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6363 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6364 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6365 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6366 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6367 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6368 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6371 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6372 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6376 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6380 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6381 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6382 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6383 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6384 form signing output easier to verify.
6387 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6390 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6391 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6392 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6393 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6394 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6395 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6396 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6397 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6398 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6399 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6402 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6404 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6405 the syntax given in objects.README.
6406 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6408 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6411 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6412 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6413 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6414 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6415 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6416 consistent name changes.
6419 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6422 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6423 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6424 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6425 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6428 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6429 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6430 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6434 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6435 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6436 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6437 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6440 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6441 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6442 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6443 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6444 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6445 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6446 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6447 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6448 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6449 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6450 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6453 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6454 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6455 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6456 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6457 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6458 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6459 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6460 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6461 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6462 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6465 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6466 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6467 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6468 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6470 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6471 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6472 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6473 omit any duplicate addresses.
6476 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6477 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6480 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6481 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6482 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6483 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6484 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6487 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6489 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6490 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6491 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6492 Free => OPENSSL_free
6495 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6496 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6499 *) CygWin32 support.
6500 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6502 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6503 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6504 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6505 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6506 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6510 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6511 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6512 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6513 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6514 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6515 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6516 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6519 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6520 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6521 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6522 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6523 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6524 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6525 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6526 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6527 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6528 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6529 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6532 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6533 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6534 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6535 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6536 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6538 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6539 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6540 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6541 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6542 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6544 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6547 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6548 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6549 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6550 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6552 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6554 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6557 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6558 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6559 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6562 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6563 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6564 any installed hardware versions can.
6567 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6568 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6569 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6573 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6574 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6575 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6576 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6577 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6579 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6580 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6583 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6584 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6587 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6588 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6589 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6593 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6596 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6597 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6598 but no ssl client purpose.
6599 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6601 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6602 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6603 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6604 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6605 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6606 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6607 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6608 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6609 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6610 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6611 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6614 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6615 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6616 be obtained from the error queue.
6619 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6620 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6621 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6622 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6625 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6628 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6629 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6630 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6631 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6632 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6635 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6636 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6637 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6638 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6639 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6642 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6643 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6644 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6646 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6648 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6649 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6650 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6651 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6652 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6653 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6654 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6655 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6656 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6657 or "the configuration storage API"...
6659 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6661 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6662 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6664 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6666 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6668 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6669 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6670 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6671 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6672 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6673 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6674 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6676 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6677 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6680 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6681 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6682 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6683 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6686 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6687 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6688 them in a portable way.
6689 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6691 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6693 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6695 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6696 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6698 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6699 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6700 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6703 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6704 was larger than the MD block size.
6705 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6707 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6708 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6709 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6710 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6714 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6715 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6716 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6718 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6720 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6722 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6723 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6724 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6725 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6726 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6727 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6729 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6730 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6732 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6733 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6736 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6739 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6740 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6742 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6743 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6744 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6745 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6748 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6749 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6750 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6751 does not suppress any output.
6754 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6755 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6756 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6757 with all the associated security issues.
6759 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6760 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6761 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6762 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6763 use the value in the default purpose.
6766 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6767 and fix a memory leak.
6770 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6771 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6772 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6773 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6776 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6777 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6778 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6779 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6782 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6783 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6784 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6787 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6788 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6791 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6792 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6796 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6797 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6800 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6801 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6802 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6805 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6806 number generation fails.
6809 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6812 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6813 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6815 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6818 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6819 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6821 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6822 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6824 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6826 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6827 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6830 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6831 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6833 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6834 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6837 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6838 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6839 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6840 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6841 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6842 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6844 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6845 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6846 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6850 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6851 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6852 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6853 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6854 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6855 counter, some don't.)
6856 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6857 counters or duplicate objects.
6860 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6861 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6864 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6865 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6866 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6868 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6869 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6870 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6874 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6875 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6878 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6879 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6880 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6884 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6885 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6886 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6889 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6890 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6891 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6892 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6893 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6894 should work without changes.
6897 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6898 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6899 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6900 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6901 must be defined. E.g.,
6902 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6903 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6904 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6905 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6907 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6911 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6912 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6913 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6916 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6917 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6918 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6919 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6922 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6923 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6924 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6925 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6926 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6927 is prompted for as usual.
6930 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6931 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6932 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6933 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6935 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6936 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6937 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6938 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6941 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6944 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6948 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6951 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6954 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6958 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6961 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6964 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6965 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6968 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6969 options to produce them.
6972 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6973 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6976 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6980 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6981 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6982 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6983 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6984 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6985 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6986 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6989 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6992 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6993 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6994 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6997 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6998 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7000 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7001 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7004 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7005 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7006 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7010 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7011 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7013 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7014 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7015 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7016 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7017 generation becomes much faster.
7019 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7020 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7021 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7022 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7023 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7024 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7025 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7026 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7027 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7028 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7031 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7032 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7033 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7034 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7035 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7036 trial division stage.
7039 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
7043 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
7046 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
7049 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
7050 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
7051 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
7055 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
7056 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
7057 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7060 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7061 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7062 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7063 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7065 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7066 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7069 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7072 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7073 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7074 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7075 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7078 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7079 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7080 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7083 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7084 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7085 (instead of parameters) in future.
7088 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7089 when a new cipher list is set.
7092 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7093 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7096 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7097 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7098 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7100 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7101 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7102 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7103 an error is flagged.
7105 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7106 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7107 the readability was also increased :-)
7108 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7110 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7111 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7112 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7113 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7117 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7118 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7121 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7122 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7123 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7124 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7127 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7128 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7129 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7130 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7131 because they handle more complex structures.)
7134 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7135 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7136 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7137 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7139 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7140 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7141 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7142 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
7143 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
7144 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
7145 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
7148 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
7149 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
7150 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
7151 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
7152 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
7155 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
7158 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
7159 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
7160 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
7161 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7162 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7165 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7169 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7170 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7171 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7172 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7175 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7178 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7179 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7180 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7181 international characters are used.
7183 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7184 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7185 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7189 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7190 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7191 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7194 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7195 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7196 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7197 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7198 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7199 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7201 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7202 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7203 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7204 be handled by the string table functions.
7206 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7207 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7208 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7209 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7210 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7214 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7215 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7216 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7217 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7218 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7220 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7221 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7222 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7223 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7226 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7227 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7228 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7229 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7230 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7234 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7235 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7236 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7237 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7238 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7239 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7240 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7241 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7243 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7244 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7245 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7248 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7249 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7250 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7251 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7252 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7253 support to pkcs8 application.
7256 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7257 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7258 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7259 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7260 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7261 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7264 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7265 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7266 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7267 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7268 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7272 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7273 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7274 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7275 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7279 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7280 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7281 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7282 and any application specific purposes.
7284 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7285 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7286 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7287 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7288 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7289 if the certificate is self signed.
7292 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7293 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7296 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7297 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7298 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7299 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7302 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7303 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7304 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7305 Update documentation.
7308 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7309 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7310 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7311 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7312 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7315 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7317 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7319 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7320 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7321 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7322 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7323 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7324 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7325 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7326 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7327 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7328 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7330 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7332 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7333 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7334 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7335 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7336 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7338 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7339 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7340 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7341 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7342 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7343 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7344 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7345 request additional information:
7346 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7347 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7349 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7350 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7351 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7354 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7355 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7358 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7361 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7362 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7364 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7365 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7366 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7370 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7371 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7372 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7374 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7375 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7376 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7377 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7378 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7379 included in OpenSSL.
7382 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7383 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7384 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7385 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7386 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7387 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7390 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7394 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7395 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7396 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7397 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7398 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7402 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7406 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7407 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7408 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7409 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7410 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7411 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7412 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7413 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7414 be maintained manually.
7416 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7417 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7418 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7419 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7420 work because people forget to call this function]
7421 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7422 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7423 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7426 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7427 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7428 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7429 should be discouraged from doing it.
7432 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7433 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7434 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7435 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7436 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7437 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7440 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7441 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7442 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7444 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7445 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7446 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7448 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7449 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7450 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7451 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7452 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7453 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7455 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7456 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7457 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7459 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7460 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7463 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7464 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7465 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7466 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7469 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7472 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7473 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7474 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7475 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7476 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7477 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7478 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7479 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7480 keys so we should be OK.
7482 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7483 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7484 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7485 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7486 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7487 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7488 stay in the name of compatibility.
7490 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7491 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7492 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7494 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7495 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7496 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7497 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7498 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7499 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7503 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7504 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7505 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7506 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7507 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7508 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7509 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7510 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7511 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7512 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7513 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7514 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7515 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7518 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7521 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7522 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7523 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7524 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7525 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7526 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7527 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7528 openssl verify ss.pem
7529 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7530 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7534 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7535 (and add it to external session representation).
7536 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7537 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7538 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7539 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7540 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7541 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7543 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7545 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7546 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7547 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7548 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7550 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7551 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7552 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7555 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7556 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7557 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7561 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7562 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7563 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7565 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7566 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7567 certificate auxiliary information.
7570 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7574 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7575 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7576 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7577 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7578 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7579 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7580 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7583 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7584 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7587 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7588 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7589 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7590 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7593 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7596 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7597 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7600 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7601 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7602 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7603 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7604 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7605 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7606 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7607 using the new 'x509' options.
7609 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7610 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7611 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7612 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7616 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7617 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7618 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7619 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7620 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7623 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7624 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7625 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7626 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7627 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7628 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7629 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7630 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7631 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7632 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7635 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7636 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7637 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7638 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7639 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7640 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7641 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7644 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7645 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7646 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7647 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7648 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7649 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7650 openssl.cnf for more info.
7653 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7654 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7655 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7656 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7657 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7658 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7659 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7660 md should be large enough anyway.
7663 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7664 for handling the random seed file.
7666 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7668 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7671 x509 (when signing).
7672 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7673 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7674 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7676 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7677 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7678 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7679 that support '-rand'.
7682 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7683 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7686 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7687 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7690 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7691 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7692 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7693 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7697 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7698 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7699 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7700 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7703 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7704 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7705 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7706 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7707 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7708 print out all the purposes.
7711 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7715 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7716 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7717 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7718 single function call.
7721 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7722 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7725 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7726 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7727 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7730 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7731 when producing the local key id.
7732 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7734 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7735 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7736 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7740 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7741 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7742 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7743 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7746 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7747 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7748 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7749 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7751 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7752 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7753 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7754 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7756 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7757 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7758 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7759 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7760 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7761 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7762 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7763 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7764 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7765 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7766 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7767 trivial: move one line.
7768 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7770 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7771 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7772 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7773 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7774 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7775 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7776 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7777 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7778 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7779 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7780 with an event loop for example.
7783 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7784 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7785 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7786 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7787 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7788 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7789 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7790 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7791 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7794 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7795 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7796 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7797 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7798 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7799 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7802 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7803 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7804 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7805 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7807 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7808 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7809 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7810 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7814 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7815 (still largely untested)
7818 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7819 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7822 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7823 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7826 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7827 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7828 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7831 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7832 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7833 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7834 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7835 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7838 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7841 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7842 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7843 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7844 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7845 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7849 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7850 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7853 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7856 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7857 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7858 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7859 are otherwise ignored at present.
7862 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7863 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7864 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7865 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7866 copied until the next read.
7869 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7870 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7871 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7874 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7875 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7876 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7877 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7878 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7879 associated functions.
7882 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7883 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7884 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7885 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7886 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7887 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7888 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7889 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7890 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7894 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7895 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7896 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7897 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7900 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7901 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7902 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7903 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7904 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7908 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7909 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7913 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7914 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7915 extensions to be obtained and added.
7918 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7919 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7922 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7924 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7925 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7927 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7928 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7930 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7934 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7935 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7936 DH parameters contain its length).
7938 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7939 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7940 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7941 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7942 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7943 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7944 utter importance to use
7945 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7947 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7948 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7949 attacks may become possible!
7952 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7955 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7956 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7959 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7960 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7961 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7965 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7966 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7967 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7968 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7969 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7970 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7971 private key operations.
7974 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7977 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7978 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7980 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7981 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7982 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7983 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7984 the password callback is called.
7985 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7987 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7989 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7990 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7991 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7992 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7993 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7994 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7997 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7998 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7999 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8000 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8001 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8002 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8005 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8008 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8009 delete an unused file.
8012 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8013 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8014 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8015 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8018 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8019 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8020 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8024 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8025 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8026 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8028 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8029 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8030 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8031 comparison" warnings.
8032 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8035 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8036 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8037 derived keys are printed to stderr.
8040 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
8041 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
8043 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
8044 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
8046 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
8047 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
8048 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
8050 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
8051 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
8052 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
8053 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
8054 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
8056 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
8058 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8059 The interface is as follows:
8060 Applications can use
8061 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8062 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8063 "off" is now the default.
8064 The library internally uses
8065 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8066 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8067 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8069 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8070 even the default) are now avoided.
8072 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8073 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8074 than just having a counter.
8076 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8078 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8082 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8083 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8084 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8085 Initial "mode" flags are:
8087 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8088 a single record has been written.
8089 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8090 retries use the same buffer location.
8091 (But all of the contents must be
8095 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8098 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8099 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8101 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8102 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8103 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8106 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8107 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8109 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8111 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8112 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8113 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8114 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8116 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8117 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8119 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8120 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8121 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8122 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8123 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8124 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8127 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8128 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8129 necessary function names.
8132 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8133 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8134 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8135 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8138 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8139 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8140 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
8143 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
8144 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
8145 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
8146 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
8148 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
8152 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
8153 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
8154 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
8157 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
8158 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8162 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8163 for the encoded length.
8164 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8166 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8169 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8170 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8171 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8172 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8175 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8176 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8177 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8179 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8180 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8181 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8185 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8186 to use the new extension code.
8189 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8190 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8191 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8195 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8196 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8197 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8201 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8204 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8205 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8206 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8209 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8210 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8211 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8212 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8215 *) DES library cleanups.
8218 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8219 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8220 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8221 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8222 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8226 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8227 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8230 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8231 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8232 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8233 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8234 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8235 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8236 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8237 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8238 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8241 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8242 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8243 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8244 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8245 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8246 value doesn't matter.
8249 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8253 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8254 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8255 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8256 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8258 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8261 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8262 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8263 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8265 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8266 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8268 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8271 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8274 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8277 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8281 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8283 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8285 *) Updated some demos.
8286 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8288 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8291 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8294 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8297 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8298 instead of using a fixed path.
8301 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8304 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8308 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8310 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8311 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8312 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8314 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8315 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8316 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8317 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8318 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8319 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8320 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8321 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8322 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8323 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8326 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8327 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8330 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8331 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8332 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8333 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8334 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8336 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8339 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8340 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8341 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8344 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8347 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8348 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8349 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8350 key elements as negative integers.
8353 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8354 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8357 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8359 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8360 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8361 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8364 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8365 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8366 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8367 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8368 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8371 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8374 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8375 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8376 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8377 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8379 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8380 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8381 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8383 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8384 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8385 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8386 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8387 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8388 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8389 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8390 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8391 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8393 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8394 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8395 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8396 does not influence s as it used to.
8398 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8399 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8400 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8401 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8402 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8403 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8406 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8407 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8408 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8412 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8413 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8414 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8418 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8419 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8420 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8424 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8425 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8428 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8429 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8434 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8435 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8437 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8438 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8440 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8443 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8446 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8447 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8449 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8450 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8451 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8455 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8456 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8457 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8458 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8459 now it really counts the depth.
8462 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8463 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8464 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8465 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8466 didn't match the private key).
8468 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8469 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8470 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8473 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8476 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8480 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8481 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8482 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8485 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8488 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8489 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8490 such as /usr/local/bin.
8493 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8494 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8496 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8499 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8500 extension adding in x509 utility.
8503 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8506 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8510 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8513 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8514 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8515 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8516 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8517 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8518 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8519 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8520 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8521 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8522 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8525 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8528 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8529 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8532 *) Fix some race conditions.
8535 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8536 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8539 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8542 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8543 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8544 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8545 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8547 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8548 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8550 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8551 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8552 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8554 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8555 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8557 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8560 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8561 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8563 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8566 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8567 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8569 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8570 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8573 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8574 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8577 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8578 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8581 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8582 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8585 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8586 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8589 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8590 support typesafe stack.
8593 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8594 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8596 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8597 old X509V3 handling code.
8600 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8603 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8606 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8609 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8610 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8612 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8613 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8614 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8615 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8616 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8619 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8620 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8621 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8622 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8623 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8625 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8626 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8627 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8628 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8630 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8631 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8632 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8633 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8635 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8636 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8637 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8638 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8639 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8640 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8643 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8644 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8647 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8648 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8651 *) Tweaks to Configure
8652 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8654 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8658 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8661 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8662 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8665 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8666 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8667 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8670 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8673 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8674 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8677 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8678 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8679 to library startup routines.
8682 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8683 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8684 codes along the way.
8687 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8688 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8689 objects to objects.h
8692 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8693 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8696 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8697 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8699 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8700 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8701 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8703 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8704 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8705 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8707 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8708 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8709 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8712 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8714 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8715 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8718 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8719 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8720 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8721 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8722 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8724 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8725 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8726 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8728 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8730 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8732 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8734 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8735 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8737 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8738 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8739 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8740 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8742 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8745 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8746 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8747 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8748 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8751 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8752 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8753 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8756 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8757 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8758 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8759 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8760 installed as `perl').
8761 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8763 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8764 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8766 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8767 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8768 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8769 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8770 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8773 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8776 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8777 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8778 is horrible: I feel ill....
8781 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8782 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8783 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8784 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8787 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8788 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8790 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8791 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8792 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8793 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8795 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8796 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8797 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8798 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8799 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8800 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8802 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8804 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8805 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8807 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8808 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8810 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8813 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8814 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8818 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8819 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8820 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8821 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8822 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8823 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8824 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8825 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8826 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8827 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8828 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8830 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8833 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8834 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8835 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8836 for linking it into DSOs.
8837 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8839 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8843 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8844 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8845 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8846 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8847 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8848 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8850 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8851 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8852 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8853 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8854 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8855 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8856 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8858 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8859 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8860 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8864 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8865 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8866 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8867 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8870 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8871 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8872 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8873 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8874 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8878 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8879 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8880 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8881 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8882 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8884 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8885 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8886 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8888 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8889 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8891 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8892 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8893 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8894 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8895 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8898 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8899 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8900 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8901 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8902 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8903 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8904 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8907 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8909 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8910 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8913 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8914 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8916 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8917 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8920 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8921 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8922 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8923 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8924 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8926 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8927 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8928 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8929 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8930 no way to reconfigure them.
8931 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8932 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8933 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8934 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8935 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8936 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8938 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8939 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8940 recognized by the users.
8941 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8943 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8944 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8945 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8946 already masked variable.
8947 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8949 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8950 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8952 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8953 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8954 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8955 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8957 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8958 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8959 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8961 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8962 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8963 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8964 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8965 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8966 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8967 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8968 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8970 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8972 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8973 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8974 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8976 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8977 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8981 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8982 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8984 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8985 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8986 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8987 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8990 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8993 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8994 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8996 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8999 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9000 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9003 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9004 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9007 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9008 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9009 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9010 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9011 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9012 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9013 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9016 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9017 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9019 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9020 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9021 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9022 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9023 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9025 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9026 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9027 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9030 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9031 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9035 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9036 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9037 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9039 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
9040 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
9041 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
9045 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
9046 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
9047 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
9048 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
9051 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
9052 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
9053 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
9054 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
9057 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
9058 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9059 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9060 so it wasn't spotted.
9061 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9063 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9064 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9065 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9066 vectors if you have them.
9069 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9070 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9073 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9074 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9075 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9076 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9078 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9079 it will update them.
9082 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9083 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9084 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9085 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9086 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9087 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9088 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9089 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9091 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9092 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9093 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9094 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9095 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9096 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9097 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9098 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9099 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9100 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9102 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9103 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9104 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9105 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9106 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9109 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9113 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9114 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9116 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9117 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9119 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9120 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9123 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9124 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9126 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9127 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9129 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9132 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9136 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9137 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9138 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9139 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9141 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9144 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9147 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
9150 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
9151 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
9154 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
9155 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
9159 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
9160 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9163 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9164 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9165 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9168 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9169 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9170 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9171 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9172 properly to be processed.
9175 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9176 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9177 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9180 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9181 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9183 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9184 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9185 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9186 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9187 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9188 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9189 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9190 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9191 or delete all the .err files.
9194 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9195 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9196 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9197 to regenerate it if needed.
9198 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9199 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9201 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9202 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9204 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9205 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9206 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9207 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9208 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9211 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9212 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9214 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9215 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9217 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9218 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9219 error, but didn't set one).
9220 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9222 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9225 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9226 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9229 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9230 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9232 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9233 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9234 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9235 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9236 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9237 OID is not part of the table.
9240 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9241 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9244 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9247 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9248 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9252 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9253 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9255 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9257 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9259 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9260 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9262 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9263 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9265 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9266 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9268 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9269 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9272 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9273 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9276 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9277 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9279 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9280 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9282 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9283 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9285 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9286 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9288 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9289 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9290 unused in the certificate verification process.
9291 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9293 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9294 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9297 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9298 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9299 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9301 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9302 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9303 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9304 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9305 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9307 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9308 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9311 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9314 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9317 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9318 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9320 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9323 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9326 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9329 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9330 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9331 other error libraries.
9334 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9337 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9338 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9342 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9343 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9344 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9345 the new set of documenation files.
9346 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9348 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9349 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9350 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9351 number of arguments.
9352 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9354 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9357 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9358 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9359 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9361 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9364 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9368 unixware-2.0-pentium
9372 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9373 before they are needed.
9376 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9380 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9382 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9383 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9384 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9386 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9389 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9390 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9391 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9393 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9394 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9395 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9397 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9398 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9399 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9401 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9402 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]

9429 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9431 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9434 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9435 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9436 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9438 [The OpenSSL Project]
9441 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9443 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9446 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9449 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9450 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9453 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9454 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9458 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9460 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9462 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9465 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9468 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9471 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9474 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9477 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9480 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9483 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9486 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9489 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9492 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9495 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9498 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9501 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9504 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9507 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9510 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9513 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9514 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9515 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9518 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9519 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
9522 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
9525 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
9528 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
9529 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
9532 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
9535 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
9538 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
9539 bytes sent in the client random.
