5 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
7 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
9 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
10 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
11 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
12 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
13 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
14 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
15 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
16 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
17 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
18 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
19 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
20 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
22 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
26 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
28 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
29 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
30 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
31 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
32 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
33 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
34 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
37 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
41 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
43 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
44 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
45 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
46 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
48 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
53 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
54 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
55 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
56 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
59 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
61 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
63 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
65 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
67 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
68 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
69 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
70 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
71 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
72 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
74 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
79 *) Race condition handling PSK identify hint
81 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
82 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
83 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
88 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
90 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
91 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
94 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
96 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
98 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
99 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
102 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
103 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
104 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
105 client authentication enabled.
107 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
111 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
113 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
114 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
115 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
118 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
119 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
120 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
121 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
122 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
125 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
126 independently by Hanno Böck.
130 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
132 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
133 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
134 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
136 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
137 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
138 servers are not affected.
140 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
144 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
146 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
147 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
148 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
150 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
154 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
156 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
157 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
158 a double free of the ticket data.
162 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
163 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
164 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
165 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
166 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
167 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
170 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
171 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
172 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
175 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 768 bits.
176 [Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper]
178 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
180 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
182 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
183 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
184 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
186 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
189 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
191 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
193 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
194 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
195 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
196 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
197 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
198 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
199 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
200 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
202 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
206 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
208 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
209 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
210 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
211 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
212 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
213 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
214 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
215 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
218 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
222 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
224 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
225 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
226 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
227 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
228 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
229 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
233 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
235 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
236 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
237 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
238 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
239 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
240 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
241 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
243 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
247 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
249 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
250 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
251 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
253 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
254 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
255 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
260 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
262 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
263 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
264 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
266 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
267 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
268 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
270 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
274 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
276 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
277 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
278 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
280 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
281 (OpenSSL development team).
285 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
287 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
288 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
289 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
293 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
295 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
296 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
297 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
298 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
299 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
300 SSL_client_methodv23)
301 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
302 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
304 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
305 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
306 output may be predictable.
308 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
309 succeed on an unpatched platform:
311 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
315 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
317 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
318 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
319 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
320 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
321 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
322 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
324 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
329 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
331 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
332 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
334 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
338 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
341 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
343 *) Change RSA and DH/DSA key generation apps to generate 2048-bit
347 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
348 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
349 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
350 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
351 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
352 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
355 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
356 (other platforms pending).
357 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
359 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
360 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
363 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
364 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
365 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
368 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
369 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
370 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
371 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
374 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
375 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
377 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
378 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
379 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
380 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
381 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
383 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
386 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
387 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
388 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
389 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
391 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
393 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
395 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
396 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
397 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
400 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
403 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
404 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
405 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
408 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
409 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
412 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
413 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
416 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
417 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
418 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
419 algorithms and include tests cases.
422 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
424 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
426 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
427 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
430 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
431 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
432 summary of the connection parameters.
435 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
436 of connection parameters.
439 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
440 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
442 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
443 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
446 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
449 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
450 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
453 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
454 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
457 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
461 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
462 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
463 CRLs using the OCSP API.
466 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
469 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
470 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
473 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
474 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
475 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
479 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
480 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
483 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
487 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
491 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
492 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
493 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
494 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
497 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
498 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
501 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
502 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
503 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
507 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
508 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
509 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
513 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
516 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
517 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
518 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
519 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
520 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
521 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
522 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
524 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
525 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
529 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
530 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
531 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
534 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
535 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
536 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
537 supported signature algorithms.
540 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
543 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
544 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
545 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
546 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
547 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
548 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
549 certificate and specify the whole chain.
552 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
553 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
554 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
555 to have similar checks in it.
557 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
558 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
559 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
560 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
561 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
564 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
565 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
566 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
567 shared signature algorithms.
570 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
571 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
575 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
576 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
577 it couldn't be removed.
580 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
581 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
584 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
585 functions. Add manual page.
586 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
588 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
589 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
593 *) Fix OCSP checking.
594 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
596 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
597 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
598 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
599 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
603 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
604 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
607 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
608 platform support for Linux and Android.
611 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
614 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
615 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
616 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
617 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
618 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
621 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
622 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
623 the new parameter format automatically.
626 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
627 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
630 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
633 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
634 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
635 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
636 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
637 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
640 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
641 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
642 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
643 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
644 to set list of supported curves.
647 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
648 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
649 to print out received values.
652 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
653 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
654 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
657 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
658 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
661 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
662 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
665 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
669 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
671 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
672 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
673 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
675 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
677 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
678 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
680 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
682 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
683 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
684 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
685 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
689 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
690 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
691 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
692 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
693 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
694 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
698 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
699 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
700 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
701 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
705 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
708 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
709 reporting this issue.
713 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
714 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
715 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
716 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
717 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
718 INRIA or reporting this issue.
722 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
723 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
724 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
725 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
726 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
727 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
728 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
733 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
734 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
736 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
737 and can vary with the CTX.
740 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
742 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
743 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
744 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
745 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
746 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
748 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
750 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
751 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
753 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
755 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
756 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
757 errors for some broken certificates.
759 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
761 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
763 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
764 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
766 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
767 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
768 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
769 (negative or with leading zeroes).
771 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
772 of the OpenSSL core team.
777 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
778 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
779 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
780 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
781 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
782 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
783 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
784 the OpenSSL core team.
788 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
789 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
790 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
791 sanity and breaks all known clients.
792 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
794 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
795 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
796 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
799 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
800 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
801 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
802 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
803 announced in the initial ServerHello.
805 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
806 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
807 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
810 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
814 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
815 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
816 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
817 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
818 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
819 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
820 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
822 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
826 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
828 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
829 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
830 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
831 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
832 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
837 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
839 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
840 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
841 configured to send them.
843 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
845 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
846 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
847 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
849 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
851 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
853 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
854 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
855 DigestInfo structures.
857 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
861 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
863 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
864 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
865 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
867 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
868 Group for discovering this issue.
872 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
873 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
874 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
875 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
876 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
878 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
879 researching this issue.
883 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
884 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
885 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
886 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
888 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
893 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
894 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
895 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
899 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
900 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
901 Denial of Service attack.
902 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
906 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
907 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
908 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
909 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
914 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
915 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
916 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
918 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
923 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
924 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
925 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
926 Denial of Service attack.
928 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
929 discovering and researching this issue.
933 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
934 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
935 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
936 output to the attacker.
938 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
940 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
942 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
943 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
944 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
947 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
949 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
950 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
951 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
953 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
954 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
955 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
957 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
958 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
961 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
963 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
965 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
966 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
967 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
968 code on a vulnerable client or server.
970 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
971 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
973 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
974 are subject to a denial of service attack.
976 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
977 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
978 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
980 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
982 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
984 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
985 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
986 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
988 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
989 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
991 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
993 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
994 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
997 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
998 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
999 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1000 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1002 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1003 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1004 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1005 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1007 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1008 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1009 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1011 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1013 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1014 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1015 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1016 is at least 512 bytes long.
1018 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1020 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1022 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1023 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1024 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1027 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1028 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1029 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1032 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1033 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1034 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1035 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1036 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1037 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1038 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1040 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1042 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1043 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1044 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1046 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1048 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1050 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1051 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1052 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1054 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1055 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1056 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1057 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1059 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1061 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1062 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1063 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1064 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1065 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1069 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1070 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1073 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1074 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1076 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1077 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1078 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1079 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1080 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1082 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1085 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1089 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1091 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1092 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1094 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1095 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1099 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1100 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1103 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1107 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1109 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1110 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1111 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1112 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1113 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1114 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1115 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1116 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1117 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1118 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1121 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1122 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1123 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1124 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1125 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1126 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1130 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1132 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1133 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1134 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1136 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1137 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1139 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1141 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1144 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1145 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1147 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1148 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1149 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1150 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1151 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1152 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1153 Most broken servers should now work.
1154 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1155 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1158 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1161 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1163 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1164 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1167 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1168 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1169 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1170 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1171 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1174 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1175 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1176 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
1177 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1178 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1181 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1182 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1184 *) Add support for SCTP.
1185 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1187 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1188 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1190 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1192 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1193 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1194 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1195 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1196 - s390x: z196 support;
1197 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1201 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1202 (removal of unnecessary code)
1203 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1205 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1208 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1211 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1212 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1213 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1215 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1217 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1218 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1219 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1220 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1221 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1223 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1224 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1225 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1227 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1228 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1229 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1231 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1232 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1234 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1236 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1237 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1238 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1241 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1242 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1246 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1247 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1248 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
1251 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
1252 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
1253 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
1254 the appropriate parameters.
1257 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
1258 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
1259 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
1260 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
1261 against a number of sample certificates.
1264 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
1265 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
1267 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
1268 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
1270 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
1271 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
1275 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
1279 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
1280 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
1281 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
1282 password based CMS).
1285 *) Session-handling fixes:
1286 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
1287 but also support Session Tickets.
1288 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
1289 presented a ticket with an expired session.
1290 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
1291 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
1292 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
1293 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1295 *) Fix PSK session representation.
1298 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
1300 This work was sponsored by Intel.
1303 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
1304 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
1305 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
1306 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
1307 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
1310 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1311 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1314 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1315 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1316 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1319 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1320 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
1321 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
1322 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1325 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1326 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1327 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1330 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1331 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1333 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1336 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1337 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1340 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1343 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1344 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1347 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1348 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1351 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1354 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1355 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1356 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1359 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1362 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1365 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1366 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1369 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1370 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1371 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1374 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
1377 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
1381 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
1382 FIPS modules versions.
1385 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
1386 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
1387 until after the certificate request message is received.
1390 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
1391 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
1392 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
1393 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
1396 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
1397 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
1398 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
1399 support yet and no support for client certificates.
1402 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
1403 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
1404 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
1405 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
1406 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
1407 and version checking.
1410 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
1411 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
1412 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
1413 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
1417 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1419 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
1422 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
1423 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
1424 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1426 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
1427 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
1428 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
1431 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
1432 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
1434 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
1435 a few changes are required:
1437 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
1438 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
1439 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
1440 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
1441 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
1444 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1446 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1447 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1448 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1449 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1450 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1451 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1452 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1453 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1454 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1457 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1458 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1459 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1462 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1464 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1465 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1466 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1467 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1470 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1472 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1473 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1474 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1475 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1476 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1477 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1478 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1479 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1480 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1481 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1482 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1483 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1484 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1486 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1488 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1490 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1491 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1492 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1493 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1495 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
1496 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
1498 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1499 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1500 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1501 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1503 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1504 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1506 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1507 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1509 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1510 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1512 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1513 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1514 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1516 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1517 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1518 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1520 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1521 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1522 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1523 the last update always remained unused).
1524 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1526 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1527 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1529 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1531 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1532 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1533 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1535 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1536 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1537 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1539 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1542 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1543 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1544 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1547 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1548 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1550 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1552 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1554 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1556 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1557 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1559 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1560 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1564 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1566 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1567 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1568 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1571 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1572 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1573 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1576 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1578 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1579 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1580 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1583 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1587 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1589 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1591 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1593 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1595 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1596 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1597 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1600 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1603 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1604 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1605 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1607 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1608 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1609 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1612 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1613 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1616 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1617 some responders need this.
1620 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1622 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1624 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1625 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1626 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1629 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1632 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1633 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1634 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1635 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1636 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1637 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1638 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1639 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1642 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1643 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1644 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1645 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1647 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1648 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1650 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1654 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1655 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1656 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1657 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1658 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1659 attempting to work them out.
1662 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1663 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1664 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1665 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1668 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1669 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1670 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1671 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1672 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1675 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1676 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1683 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1685 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1689 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1690 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1692 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1693 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1695 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1696 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1697 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1698 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1699 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1702 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1703 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1704 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1707 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1708 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1711 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1712 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1714 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1715 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1718 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1721 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1722 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1723 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1727 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1728 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1729 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1730 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1731 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1732 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1735 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1736 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1738 This work was sponsored by Google.
1741 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1742 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1743 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1744 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1745 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1746 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1747 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1750 This work was sponsored by Google.
1753 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1755 This work was sponsored by Google.
1758 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1759 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1760 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1761 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1763 This work was sponsored by Google.
1766 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1767 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1768 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1769 CRL functionality in future.
1771 This work was sponsored by Google.
1774 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1776 This work was sponsored by Google.
1779 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1780 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1782 This work was sponsored by Google.
1785 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1786 and URI types are currently supported.
1788 This work was sponsored by Google.
1791 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1792 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1793 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1794 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1795 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1796 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1797 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1798 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1800 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1801 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1802 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1804 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1805 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1806 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1807 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1809 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1810 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1811 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1812 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1813 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1814 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1815 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1816 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1818 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1820 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1821 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1822 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1824 This work was sponsored by Google.
1827 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1830 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1831 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1832 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1835 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1836 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1839 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1840 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1843 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1844 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1845 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1846 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1847 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1848 content types and variants.
1851 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1854 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1855 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1856 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1857 files from the associated perl scripts.
1860 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1861 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1862 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1864 *) s390x assembler pack.
1867 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1871 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1872 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1873 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1874 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1875 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1876 to use. For example, specify an option
1878 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1880 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1881 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1882 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1883 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1884 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1885 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1887 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1888 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1889 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1890 return non-zero for success.
1892 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1895 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1896 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1900 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1903 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1904 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1905 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1906 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1907 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1908 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1909 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1910 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1911 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1913 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1914 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1915 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1916 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1917 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1918 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1920 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1921 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1922 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1923 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1924 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1925 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1929 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1932 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1934 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1935 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1936 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1939 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1940 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1943 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1944 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1945 with no application modification.
1947 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1948 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1950 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1951 or server extensions to be examined.
1953 This work was sponsored by Google.
1956 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1957 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1958 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1960 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1961 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1962 ciphersuite support.
1963 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1965 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1966 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1967 to output in BER and PEM format.
1970 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1971 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1972 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1973 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1974 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1977 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1978 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1979 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1983 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1984 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1985 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1986 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1987 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1988 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1989 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1990 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1993 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1994 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1995 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1996 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1998 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1999 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2000 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2004 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2005 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2006 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2007 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2008 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2009 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2010 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2011 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2012 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2014 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2015 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2016 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2017 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2018 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2019 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2020 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2021 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2022 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2023 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2024 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2027 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2028 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2029 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2031 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2032 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2036 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2037 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2038 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2041 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2042 it yet and it is largely untested.
2045 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2048 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2049 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2050 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2053 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2056 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2057 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2058 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2059 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2062 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2063 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2064 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2065 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2066 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2069 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2070 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2073 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2074 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2075 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2076 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2079 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2080 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2081 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2082 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2085 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2086 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2089 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2090 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2091 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2092 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2095 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2096 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2097 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2100 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2104 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2105 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2108 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2109 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2110 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2114 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2115 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2116 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2119 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2120 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2121 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2122 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2125 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2126 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2127 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2128 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2129 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2130 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2133 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2134 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2135 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2136 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2137 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2139 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2140 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2141 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2142 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2143 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2146 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2147 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2148 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2149 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2151 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2152 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2153 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2154 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2155 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2161 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2162 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2166 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2167 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2170 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2171 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2174 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2175 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2176 functional reference processing.
2179 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2180 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2184 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2185 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2186 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2189 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2190 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2191 application to support multiple signers.
2194 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2198 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2199 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2200 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2201 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2202 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2205 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2209 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2210 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2211 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2212 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2216 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2217 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2218 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2219 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
2220 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2221 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2222 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2223 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2226 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2227 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2228 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2229 between digests and public key types.
2232 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2233 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2234 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2235 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2238 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2239 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2243 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2246 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
2250 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
2251 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2252 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2253 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2258 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2260 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2262 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2264 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2265 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2266 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2267 functionality for RSA.
2270 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2271 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2272 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2275 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2276 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2279 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2280 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2281 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2284 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2285 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2288 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2289 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2292 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2293 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2297 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2298 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2299 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2303 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2304 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2305 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2306 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2307 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2308 of public and private key structures.
2311 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2312 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2315 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2316 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2317 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2320 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2324 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2325 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2326 SSL_get_psk_identity
2327 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2329 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2331 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2332 and response verification functionality.
2333 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2335 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2336 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2337 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2338 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2339 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2340 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2341 server_name extension.
2343 New functions (subject to change):
2345 SSL_get_servername()
2346 SSL_get_servername_type()
2349 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2351 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2352 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2353 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2354 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2355 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2357 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2359 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2360 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2361 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2362 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2363 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2364 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2367 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2369 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
2372 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
2373 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
2374 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
2375 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
2376 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
2379 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
2380 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
2384 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
2385 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
2386 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
2387 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
2390 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
2391 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
2392 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
2393 using the maximum available value.
2396 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
2397 in addition to the text details.
2400 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
2401 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2402 handle several customised structures at all.
2405 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2406 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2407 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2410 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2413 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2414 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2415 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2418 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2419 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2420 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2423 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2424 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2428 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2431 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2434 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2436 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2437 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2438 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2439 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2440 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2441 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2442 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2443 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2445 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2446 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2447 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2449 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2451 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2452 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2454 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2455 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2458 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2459 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2460 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2463 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2464 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2465 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2466 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2467 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2468 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2471 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2472 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2473 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2476 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2477 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2478 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2479 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2480 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2481 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2485 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2486 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2489 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2490 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2491 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2494 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2497 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2498 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2499 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2500 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2501 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2502 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2503 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2504 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2505 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2508 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2509 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2510 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2513 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2514 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2517 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2518 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2519 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2520 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2521 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2522 know what you are doing.
2523 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2525 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2526 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2527 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2528 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2529 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2530 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2534 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2535 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2536 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2538 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2540 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2541 warnings in other configurations.
2544 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2545 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2546 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2548 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2550 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2551 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2552 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2554 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2555 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2556 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2557 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2560 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2564 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2565 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2567 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2569 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2570 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2571 other than a simple chain.
2572 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2574 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2575 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2576 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2577 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2580 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2581 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2582 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2583 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2584 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2585 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2586 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2587 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2588 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2590 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2591 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2592 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2593 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2594 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2595 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2597 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2599 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2600 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2603 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2604 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2607 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2609 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2611 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2612 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2613 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2614 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2615 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2619 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2621 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2622 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2623 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2624 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2626 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2627 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2628 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2629 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2631 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2632 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2633 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2636 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2637 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2641 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2642 to handle some structures.
2645 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2647 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2649 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2652 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2655 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2658 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2659 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2663 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2665 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2667 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2669 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2672 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2673 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2674 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2675 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2677 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2678 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2680 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2681 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2684 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2685 s_client and s_server.
2688 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2689 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2691 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2692 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2694 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2695 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2696 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2697 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2698 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2701 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2703 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2704 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2707 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2708 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2711 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2712 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2713 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2714 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2716 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2717 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2719 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2721 *) Various precautionary measures:
2723 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2725 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2726 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2727 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2729 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2730 outside the expected range.
2732 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2735 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2737 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2738 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2739 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2741 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2744 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2747 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2749 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2752 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2753 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2754 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2756 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2759 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2760 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2761 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2765 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2767 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2768 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2769 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2770 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2772 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2773 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2776 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2778 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2779 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2780 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2782 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2784 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2785 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2786 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2787 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2790 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2791 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2792 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2793 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2794 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2795 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2796 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2798 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2800 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2801 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2802 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2803 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2804 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2806 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2807 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2809 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2810 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2811 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2812 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2813 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2815 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2817 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2818 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2819 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2820 sets may exist with different names.
2823 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2824 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2825 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2826 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2827 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2828 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2829 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2830 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2831 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2833 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2835 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2836 implemention in the following ways:
2838 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2841 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2842 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2843 ignored for embedded content.
2845 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2846 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2849 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2850 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2851 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2852 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2854 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2855 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2858 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2859 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2862 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2863 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2864 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2865 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2866 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2867 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2871 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2872 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2873 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2877 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2878 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2879 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2880 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2881 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2882 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2883 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2884 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2886 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2887 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2888 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2889 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2890 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2891 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2892 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2894 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2895 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2896 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2897 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2898 to s_client and s_server.
2901 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2903 *) Fix various bugs:
2904 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2905 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2906 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2907 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2908 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2910 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2912 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2913 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2914 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2915 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2916 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2917 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2918 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2919 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2922 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2923 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2924 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2927 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2928 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2929 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2932 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2933 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2936 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2937 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2938 with no application modification.
2940 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2941 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2943 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2944 or server extensions to be examined.
2946 This work was sponsored by Google.
2949 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2950 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2951 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2952 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2953 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2954 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2955 server_name extension.
2957 New functions (subject to change):
2959 SSL_get_servername()
2960 SSL_get_servername_type()
2963 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2965 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2966 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2967 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2968 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2969 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2971 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2973 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2974 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2975 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2976 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2977 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2978 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2981 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2983 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2986 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2989 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2990 (which previously caused an internal error).
2993 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2996 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2997 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2999 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3000 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3001 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3003 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3004 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3005 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3006 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3008 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3009 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3010 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3011 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3013 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3014 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3015 information. For detailed background information, see
3016 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3017 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3018 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3019 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3020 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3021 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3022 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3023 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3024 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3025 remove a conditional branch.
3027 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3028 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3029 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3030 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3031 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3032 remains as a deprecated alias.
3034 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3035 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3036 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3037 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3039 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3040 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3041 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3042 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3043 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3044 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3045 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3046 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3048 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3050 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3051 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3052 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3053 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3054 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3055 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3056 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3057 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3058 in a different context.
3061 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3062 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3063 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3066 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3067 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3068 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3070 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3072 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3073 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3074 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3075 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3076 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3079 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3080 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3081 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3082 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3083 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3084 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3087 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3088 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3089 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3090 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3091 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3094 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3095 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3097 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3098 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3099 Improve header file function name parsing.
3102 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3103 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3106 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3108 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3109 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3110 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3112 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3113 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3115 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3116 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3118 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3119 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3120 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3122 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3123 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3124 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3125 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3126 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3127 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3128 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3129 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3130 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3132 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3133 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3134 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3135 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3136 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3138 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3139 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3140 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3141 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3142 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3143 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3144 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3145 multiple values to extend the available space.
3149 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3151 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3152 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3154 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3157 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3158 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3159 undesirable limitations.
3160 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3162 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3163 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3164 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3165 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3166 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3167 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3168 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3171 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3173 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3174 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3175 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3177 The latter two were purportedly from
3178 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3181 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3182 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3183 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3186 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3187 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3190 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3191 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3192 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3193 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3195 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3196 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3197 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3200 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3201 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3202 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3203 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3204 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3205 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3208 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3210 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3211 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3214 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3215 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3217 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3218 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3219 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3220 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3223 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3224 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3227 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3228 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3229 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3230 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3231 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3232 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3233 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3237 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3238 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3239 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3240 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3243 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3244 under VC++ build system.
3247 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3248 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3251 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3253 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3254 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3255 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3256 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3257 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3259 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3260 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3261 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3263 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3266 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3267 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3270 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3271 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3273 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3276 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3277 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3279 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3280 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3283 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3284 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3288 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3290 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3293 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3296 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3297 key into the same file any more.
3300 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3303 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3304 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3306 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3307 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3310 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3311 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3312 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3313 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3314 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3315 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3317 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3318 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3319 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3322 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3323 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3324 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3325 - add new function for parameter creation
3326 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3327 BN_BLINDING parameters
3328 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3329 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3330 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3334 *) Add support for DTLS.
3335 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3337 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3338 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3341 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3342 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3345 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3346 the apps/openssl applications.
3349 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3350 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3351 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3354 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3355 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3357 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3358 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3360 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3361 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3362 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3363 avoid this algorithm.)
3367 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3368 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3369 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3372 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3373 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3376 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3377 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3378 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3381 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3383 The blank line is mandatory.
3387 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3388 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3392 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3393 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3395 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3396 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3397 to support policy checking and print out.
3400 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3401 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3402 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3403 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3405 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3408 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3409 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3411 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3412 implementation contributed by IBM.
3413 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3415 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3416 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3417 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3418 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3420 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3421 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3423 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3424 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3425 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3426 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3427 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3428 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3431 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3432 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3433 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3434 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3435 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3436 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3437 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3440 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3443 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3444 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3445 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3446 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3447 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3448 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3449 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3450 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3453 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3454 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3455 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3456 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3459 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3462 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3465 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3466 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3467 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3468 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3469 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3470 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3471 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3474 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3475 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3478 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3479 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3480 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3483 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3484 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3485 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3489 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3490 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3493 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3494 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3495 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3496 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3499 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3500 initialised value as BN_new().
3501 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3503 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3506 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3507 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3508 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3509 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3510 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3511 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3512 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3513 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3514 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3515 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3516 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3517 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3518 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3519 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3520 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3522 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3523 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3524 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3525 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3528 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3529 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3530 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3531 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3532 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3533 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3534 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3535 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3536 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3539 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3540 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3541 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3542 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3543 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3544 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3545 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3548 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3549 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3550 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3551 these have been updated also.
3554 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3555 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3556 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3557 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3558 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3562 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3563 structure of type "other".
3566 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3567 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3568 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3569 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3570 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3571 situation in the script.
3572 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3574 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3575 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3576 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3577 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3578 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3579 used as premaster secret.
3580 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3582 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3583 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3584 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3586 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3587 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3589 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3590 control of the error stack.
3593 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3596 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3597 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3598 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3599 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3602 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3603 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3604 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3607 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3608 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3609 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3613 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3614 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3615 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3616 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3619 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3620 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3621 the following flags are defined:
3623 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3624 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3625 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3628 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3629 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3630 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3631 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3635 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3636 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3637 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3638 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3639 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3642 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3643 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3644 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3647 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3648 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3649 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3650 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3651 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3652 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3655 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3659 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3662 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3665 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3668 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3669 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3670 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3671 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3672 default implementation more easily.
3675 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3679 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3680 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3683 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3684 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3685 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3686 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3688 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3689 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3690 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3691 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3694 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3695 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3699 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3700 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3701 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3702 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3703 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3704 scalar * generator).
3705 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3707 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3708 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3709 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3713 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3714 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3715 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3716 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3717 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3718 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3719 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3720 linker additions, eg;
3721 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3724 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3725 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3726 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3729 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3730 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3731 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3735 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3736 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3737 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3738 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3741 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3742 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3743 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3744 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3745 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3746 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3747 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3748 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3749 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3750 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3752 Example for using the new callback interface:
3754 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3758 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3760 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3761 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3762 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3763 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3764 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3765 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3770 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3771 available to TLS with the number defined in
3772 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3775 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3776 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3778 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3779 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3780 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3781 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3783 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3784 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3786 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3787 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3791 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3792 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3795 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3796 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3797 and a macro that behave like
3798 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3800 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3803 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3804 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3805 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3807 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3809 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3812 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3813 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3814 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3815 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3817 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3818 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3819 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3820 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3821 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3822 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3823 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3824 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3826 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3827 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3830 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3831 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3833 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3834 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3835 files while avoiding the low level API.
3837 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3838 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3839 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3840 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3842 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3843 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3844 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3845 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3846 instead of the low level API.
3849 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3850 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3851 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3852 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3853 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3856 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3857 down to the template encoder.
3860 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3861 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3864 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3865 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3866 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3867 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3869 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3870 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3872 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3873 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3875 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3876 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3879 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3880 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3881 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3884 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3885 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3887 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3888 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3890 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3891 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3894 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3898 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3899 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3900 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3901 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3902 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3903 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3905 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3906 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3909 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3910 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3911 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3912 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3913 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3914 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3915 various internal method names.)
3917 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3918 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3920 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3921 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3923 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3924 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3926 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3927 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3928 methods are undefined.
3930 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3931 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3933 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3934 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3935 length of the modulus.
3937 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3938 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3940 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3941 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3943 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3944 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3946 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3947 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3948 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3951 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3952 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3953 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3954 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3956 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3957 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3958 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3959 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3961 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3962 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3964 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3965 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3966 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3967 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3968 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3970 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3971 This applies to the following functions:
3976 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3977 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3979 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3980 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3984 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3989 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3991 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3992 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3993 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3994 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3995 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3997 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3998 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4000 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
4001 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
4002 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
4004 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
4005 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
4007 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
4008 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
4009 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
4010 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
4011 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4013 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
4015 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
4016 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
4017 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
4018 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
4019 These control ASN1 encoding details:
4020 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
4021 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
4022 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
4023 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
4024 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
4025 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
4026 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
4028 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
4031 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
4032 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
4033 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
4034 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4036 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4037 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4038 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
4039 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4044 EC_POINT_point2hex()
4045 EC_POINT_hex2point()
4046 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4047 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4048 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4050 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4051 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4052 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4053 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4054 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4055 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4056 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4057 adding different types of curves.
4058 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4060 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4061 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4062 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4065 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4066 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4068 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4069 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4070 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4071 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4073 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4075 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4076 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4078 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4079 library. Most notably,
4080 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4081 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4082 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4083 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4084 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4085 extracted before the specific public key;
4086 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4087 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4089 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4090 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4092 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4093 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4094 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4095 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4097 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4098 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4099 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4101 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4102 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4103 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4104 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4105 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4106 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4110 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4112 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4114 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4116 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4117 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4118 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4121 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4122 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4123 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4126 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4129 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4130 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4133 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4134 run algorithm test programs.
4137 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4140 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4141 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4142 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4143 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4144 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4147 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4148 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4151 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4153 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4154 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4155 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4157 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4158 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4160 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4161 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4163 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4164 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4165 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4167 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4168 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4169 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4170 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4171 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4172 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4173 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4176 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4178 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4179 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4181 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4182 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4183 undesirable limitations.
4184 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4186 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4188 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4189 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4190 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4192 The latter two were purportedly from
4193 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4196 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4197 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4198 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4201 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4202 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4205 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4207 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4208 module in FIPS mode.
4211 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4214 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4215 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4216 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4217 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4220 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4222 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4223 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4224 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4225 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4226 the difference induced by this change.
4229 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4231 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4232 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4233 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4234 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4235 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4237 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4238 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4239 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4241 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4242 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4245 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4246 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4247 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4248 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4252 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4253 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4254 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4255 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4256 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4258 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4259 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4260 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4261 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4262 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4263 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4265 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4267 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4268 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4269 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4270 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4271 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4274 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4278 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4279 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4280 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4283 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4284 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4285 structures constant.
4288 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4290 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4293 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4294 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4295 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4296 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4297 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4298 some needed definitions.
4301 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4304 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4305 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4306 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4307 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4310 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4312 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4313 server and client random values. Previously
4314 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4315 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4317 This change has negligible security impact because:
4319 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4322 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4325 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4326 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4329 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4332 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4334 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4337 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4338 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4339 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4341 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4344 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4345 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4348 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4349 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4350 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4352 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4355 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4356 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4357 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4361 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4362 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4363 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4364 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4366 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4367 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4368 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4369 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
4373 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4375 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4376 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4377 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4378 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4379 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4382 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4385 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4386 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4388 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4389 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4390 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4391 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4392 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4393 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4394 rather than being initialized to 1.
4397 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4399 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4400 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4401 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4403 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4405 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4407 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4408 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4409 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4410 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4411 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4412 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4415 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4416 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4417 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4418 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4419 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4423 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4424 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4425 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4426 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4427 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4430 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4431 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4432 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4436 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4437 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4439 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4442 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4444 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4446 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4447 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4449 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4451 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4452 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4456 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4457 exiting on the first error in a request.
4460 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4461 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4465 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4466 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4467 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4468 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4470 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4471 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4474 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4475 blocks during encryption.
4478 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4479 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4480 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4481 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4485 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4486 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4487 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4488 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4489 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4493 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4495 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4496 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4497 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4498 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4501 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4502 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4503 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4504 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4505 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4507 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4508 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4509 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4510 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4511 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4512 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4513 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4514 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4515 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4518 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4519 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4520 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4521 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4524 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4525 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4528 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4530 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4531 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4532 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4533 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4534 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4536 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4537 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4538 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4540 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4541 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4542 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4543 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4544 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4546 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4547 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4548 used by default when no-err is given.
4551 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4552 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4554 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4555 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4556 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4557 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4558 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4560 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4561 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4562 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4563 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4565 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4567 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4569 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4571 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4572 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4573 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4574 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4578 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4579 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4581 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4582 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4585 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4586 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4587 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4588 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4591 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4592 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4593 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4594 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4595 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4596 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4597 followup to PR #377.
4600 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4601 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4604 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4605 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4606 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
4607 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
4609 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
4611 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
4614 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
4615 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
4616 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
4617 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
4619 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4623 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
4624 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
4628 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4629 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4630 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4631 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4632 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4633 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4635 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4636 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4637 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4638 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4639 have to be made anyway).
4642 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4643 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4644 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4647 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4648 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4649 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4652 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4653 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4654 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4656 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
4657 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4658 edit numbers of the version.
4659 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4661 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
4662 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
4663 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4665 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4666 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4668 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4669 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4670 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4672 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4673 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4675 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
4676 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4678 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4679 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4681 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4682 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4684 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4686 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4688 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4689 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4690 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4692 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4693 representations in a platform independent manner.
4694 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4696 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4697 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4698 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4700 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4702 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4704 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4705 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4707 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4709 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4711 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4712 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4713 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4715 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4717 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4719 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4720 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4722 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4723 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4725 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4726 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4728 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4729 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4731 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4733 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4735 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4736 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4738 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4739 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4741 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4742 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4744 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4746 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4747 the 0.9.6 release series:
4749 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4750 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4752 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4754 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4757 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4758 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4760 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4761 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4763 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4764 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4765 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4766 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4768 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4769 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4770 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4772 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4773 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4774 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4775 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4777 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4778 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4779 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4782 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4783 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4784 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4785 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4786 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4787 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4788 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4789 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4792 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4793 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4794 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4797 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4798 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4799 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4800 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4801 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4803 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4804 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4806 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4807 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4810 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4811 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4812 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4813 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4814 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4815 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4818 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4819 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4820 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4823 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4824 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4827 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4828 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4829 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4830 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4831 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4832 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4833 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4836 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4837 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4838 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4839 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4840 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4841 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4844 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4845 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4846 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4847 declaration has been changed from
4850 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4851 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4852 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4853 has been changed into
4854 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4856 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4857 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4858 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4860 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4861 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4863 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4864 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4865 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4866 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4867 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4868 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4869 always load it have also been added.
4872 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4873 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4874 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4876 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4878 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4879 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4880 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4882 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4883 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4884 command line option can be used to specify an
4888 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4889 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4892 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4893 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4894 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4897 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4898 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4899 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4900 to work with the new engine framework.
4901 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4903 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4904 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4905 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4906 to work with the new engine framework.
4909 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4910 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4911 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4913 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4914 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4916 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4917 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4918 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4919 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4921 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4923 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4924 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4926 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4927 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4929 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4930 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4931 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4934 *) Add new functions
4936 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4937 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4938 These are similar to
4941 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4942 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4943 still in the error queue.
4944 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4946 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4948 default_algorithms = ALL
4949 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4952 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4955 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4958 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4959 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4960 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4961 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4963 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4964 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4966 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4967 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4969 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4970 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4973 *) New functions/macros
4975 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4976 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4977 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4978 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4980 to request calling a callback function
4982 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4983 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4985 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4986 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4987 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4988 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4989 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4990 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4991 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4992 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4993 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4994 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4996 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4997 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
5000 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
5001 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
5002 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
5003 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
5004 the configuration scripts.
5006 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
5007 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
5008 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
5010 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
5011 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5013 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
5014 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
5015 when reusing an existing buffer.
5018 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
5019 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
5022 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
5023 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
5026 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
5027 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
5028 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
5029 has the same effect.
5030 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5032 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
5033 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
5034 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5035 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5036 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5037 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5040 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5041 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5042 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5043 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5045 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5046 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5047 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5048 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5050 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5051 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5054 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5055 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5056 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5057 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5058 default), and then completely removed.
5061 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5062 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5063 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5064 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5065 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5066 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5067 particular extension is supported.
5070 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5071 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5074 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5075 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5076 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5077 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5078 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5079 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5080 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5081 requires the destination to be valid.
5083 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5084 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5087 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5088 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5089 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5092 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5093 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5095 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5096 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5097 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5098 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5099 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5100 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5101 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5102 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5103 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5104 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5105 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5106 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5107 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5108 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5109 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5110 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5111 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5112 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5113 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5117 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5120 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5121 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5122 become part of libeay.num as well.
5125 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5126 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5127 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
5128 false once a handshake has been completed.
5129 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5130 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5131 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5132 client has followed the request.)
5135 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5136 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5137 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5138 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5140 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5141 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5142 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5145 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5148 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5149 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5150 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5153 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5154 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5157 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5158 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5159 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5160 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5163 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5164 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5165 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5166 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5167 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5168 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5171 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5172 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5173 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5174 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5175 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5176 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5177 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5178 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5181 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5182 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5185 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5188 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5189 md_data void pointer.
5192 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5193 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5194 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5195 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5196 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5197 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5200 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5201 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5202 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5203 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5204 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5205 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5206 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5207 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5208 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5209 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5210 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5211 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5212 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5213 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5214 rather than letting it slide.
5216 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5217 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5218 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5221 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5222 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5223 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5224 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5225 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5226 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5227 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5228 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5229 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5232 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5233 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5234 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5235 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5236 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5238 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5241 *) Add EVP test program.
5244 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5247 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5248 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5249 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5250 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5251 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5254 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5255 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5256 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5257 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5258 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5259 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5260 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5262 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5263 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5264 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5269 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5270 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5271 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5272 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5273 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5277 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5278 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5279 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5280 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5283 des_key_schedule ks;
5285 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5286 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5288 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5291 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5292 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5293 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5294 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5295 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5296 functions prevents this.
5299 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5302 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5303 correct _ecb suffix.
5306 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5307 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5308 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5309 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5310 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5313 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5316 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5317 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5318 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5319 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5321 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5322 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5324 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5325 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5326 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5327 via Richard Levitte]
5329 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5330 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5331 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5332 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5335 *) Speed up EVP routines.

5353 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5354 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5356 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5357 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5358 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5359 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5360 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5361 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5364 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5365 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5368 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5369 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5370 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5371 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
5373 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
5374 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
5375 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
5376 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
5377 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
5378 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
5382 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
5383 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
5384 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
5385 and interrupts/cancellations.
5388 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5389 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5392 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5393 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5394 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5396 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5397 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5401 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5402 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5403 than this minimum value is recommended.
5406 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5407 that are easily reachable.
5410 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5411 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5413 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5415 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5416 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5417 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5418 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5421 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5422 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5423 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5426 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5427 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5428 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5429 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5430 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5431 internally such as S/MIME.
5433 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5434 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5435 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5437 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5441 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5442 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5443 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5444 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5446 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5448 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5450 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5451 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5452 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5456 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5457 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5458 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5459 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5460 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5461 a window system and the like.
5464 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5465 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5468 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5469 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5470 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5471 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5472 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5473 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5474 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5475 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5476 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5480 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5481 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5485 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5486 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5487 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5488 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5489 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5490 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5491 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5492 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5495 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5496 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5497 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5498 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5499 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5500 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5501 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5502 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5503 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5504 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5505 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5506 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5507 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5508 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5509 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5510 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5511 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5514 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5515 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5516 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5517 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5518 internal engine_int.h header.
5521 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5522 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5523 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5524 modify their own ones).
5527 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5528 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5529 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5530 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5531 later on via ctrl() commands.
5532 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5533 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5534 structural references.
5535 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5536 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5537 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5538 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5539 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5540 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5541 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5542 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5543 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5544 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5545 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5546 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5549 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5550 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5551 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5552 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5553 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5554 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5555 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5556 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5559 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5560 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5563 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5564 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5567 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5568 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5569 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5570 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5571 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5572 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5573 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5576 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5577 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5578 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5579 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5580 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5582 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5583 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5587 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5589 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5590 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5591 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5593 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5594 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5596 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5597 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5598 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5600 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5601 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5603 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5604 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5606 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5608 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5609 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5610 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5613 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5614 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5617 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5618 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5619 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5620 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5621 is 40 of more characters long.
5624 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5625 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5629 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5630 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5633 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5634 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5638 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5640 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5641 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5644 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5646 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5647 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5648 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5650 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5651 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5653 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5656 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5660 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5661 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5662 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5663 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5665 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5667 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5668 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5670 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5671 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5672 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5673 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5674 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5675 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5677 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5678 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5680 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5681 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5683 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5684 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5686 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5687 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5688 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5689 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5691 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5692 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5694 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5695 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5697 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5698 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5699 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5700 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5701 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5704 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5705 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5706 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5707 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5710 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5711 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5712 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5716 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5717 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5718 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5719 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5720 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5721 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5722 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5723 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5727 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5728 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5731 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5732 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5733 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5734 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5737 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5738 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5739 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5740 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5741 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5742 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5743 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5744 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5745 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5746 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5749 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5750 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5751 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5752 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5753 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5754 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5755 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5756 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5758 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5759 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5760 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5761 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5764 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5765 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5766 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5767 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5769 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5770 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5771 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5772 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5773 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5777 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5778 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5779 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5780 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5784 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5785 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5786 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5789 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5790 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5791 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5792 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5793 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5796 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5799 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5800 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5801 option to ocsp utility.
5804 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5805 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5806 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5807 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5808 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5809 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5810 the request is nonce-less.
5813 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5814 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5815 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5818 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5819 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5820 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5823 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5824 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5825 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5826 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5827 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5830 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5831 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5835 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5836 additional certificates supplied.
5839 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5840 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5844 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5845 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5848 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5849 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5850 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5851 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5852 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5853 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5854 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5855 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5856 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5858 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5859 request to response.
5862 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5863 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5864 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5865 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5866 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5867 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5868 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5869 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5870 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5871 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5872 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5875 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5876 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5877 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5878 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5881 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5882 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5884 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5885 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5886 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5889 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5890 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5891 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5892 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5893 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5895 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5896 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5897 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5900 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5901 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5902 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5903 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5904 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5905 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5906 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5907 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5909 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5910 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5911 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5912 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5913 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5914 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5917 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5918 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5919 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5920 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5921 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5922 printout format cleaned up.
5925 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5926 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5927 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5928 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5929 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5930 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5931 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5932 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5935 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5936 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5937 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5938 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5939 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5940 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5941 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5942 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5945 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5946 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5947 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5948 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5950 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5952 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5953 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5954 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5955 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5958 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5959 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5960 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5961 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5963 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5965 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5966 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5967 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5968 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5970 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5971 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5973 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5974 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5975 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5978 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5979 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5980 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5983 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5984 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5985 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5986 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5987 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5988 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5989 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5990 functions are provided:
5992 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5993 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5994 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5995 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5997 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5998 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5999 extended allocation function is enabled.
6000 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
6001 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
6002 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
6004 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
6005 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
6006 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
6007 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
6008 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
6011 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
6012 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
6013 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
6015 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
6016 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
6017 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
6020 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
6021 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
6022 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
6023 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
6024 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
6025 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
6026 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
6027 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
6028 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
6031 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
6032 provide utility functions which an application needing
6033 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
6034 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6035 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6037 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6038 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6039 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6040 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6041 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6042 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6043 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6044 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6045 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6047 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6048 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6049 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6050 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6053 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6054 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6055 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6056 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6057 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6058 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6059 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6060 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6061 will be added elsewhere.
6064 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6065 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6066 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6067 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6070 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6071 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6072 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6073 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6074 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6075 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6076 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6077 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6078 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6079 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6080 to produce the required SET OF.
6083 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6084 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6085 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6088 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6089 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6090 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6091 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6092 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6093 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6096 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6097 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6098 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6101 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6102 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6103 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6106 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6107 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6108 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6109 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6110 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6113 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6114 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6117 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6118 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6119 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6120 certifcates and CRLs.
6123 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6124 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6125 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6128 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
6129 entries for variables.
6132 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6133 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6134 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6135 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6138 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6139 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6140 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6141 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6142 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6143 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6146 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6147 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6149 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6150 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6151 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6154 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6158 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6159 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6160 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6161 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6162 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6163 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6166 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6169 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6170 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6171 for now but they will eventually go away.
6174 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6175 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6176 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6177 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6178 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6179 has also been converted to the new form.
6182 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6183 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6184 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6185 for negative moduli.
6188 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6189 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6192 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6196 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6197 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6198 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6199 type-specific callbacks.
6202 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6204 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6205 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6207 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6208 in sections depending on the subject.
6211 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6215 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6216 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6217 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6218 be handled deterministically).
6219 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6221 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6222 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6223 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6226 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6229 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6230 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6231 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6232 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6233 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6236 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6237 sign of the number in question.
6239 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6241 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6242 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6243 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6244 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6245 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6248 *) New function BN_swap.
6251 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6252 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6253 results on negative inputs.
6256 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6257 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6258 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6261 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6262 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6263 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6264 and add new functions:
6273 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6277 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6279 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6280 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6282 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6283 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6284 be reduced modulo m.
6285 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6288 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
6289 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6290 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6292 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6293 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6294 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6295 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6296 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6297 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6302 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6303 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6304 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6305 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6306 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6308 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6309 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6310 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6314 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6317 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6318 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6321 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6322 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6323 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6324 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6328 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6331 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6334 *) Add the following functions:
6336 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6338 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6340 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6342 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6343 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6344 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6345 libraries unless it's really needed.
6347 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6348 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6349 declarations (they differed!).
6352 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6355 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6358 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6361 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6362 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6365 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6366 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6367 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6369 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6370 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
6373 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
6376 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
6379 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
6382 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
6383 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
6384 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
6386 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6387 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6388 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6389 different shared library filenames on each system.
6392 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6395 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6396 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6397 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6399 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6402 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6403 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6404 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6405 binary backward compatibility.
6406 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6407 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6408 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6412 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6413 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6414 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6415 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6419 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6422 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6423 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6424 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6425 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6429 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6432 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6434 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6435 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6436 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6438 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6440 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6442 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6443 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6446 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6448 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6450 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6451 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6453 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6454 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6458 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6459 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6463 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6464 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6465 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6466 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6468 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6469 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6472 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6474 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6475 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6476 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6477 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6480 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6481 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6482 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6483 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6484 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6486 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6487 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6488 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6489 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6490 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6491 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6492 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6493 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6494 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6497 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6499 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6500 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6501 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6502 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6503 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6505 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6506 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6507 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6509 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6511 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6512 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6513 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6514 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6515 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6516 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6519 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6520 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6521 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6522 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6523 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6526 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6527 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6528 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6530 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6531 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6532 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6536 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6537 being properly terminated.
6540 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6541 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6542 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6543 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6545 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6546 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6547 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6548 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6549 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6550 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6551 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6553 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6555 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6556 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6559 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6560 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6561 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6562 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6563 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6564 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6565 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6566 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6568 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6569 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6570 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6571 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6572 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6574 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6575 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6578 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6580 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6581 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6582 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6584 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6586 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6587 and get fix the header length calculation.
6588 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6589 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6592 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6593 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6594 assertions could call abort()).
6595 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6597 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6599 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6600 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6601 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6603 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6605 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6606 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6607 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6610 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6614 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6615 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6616 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6618 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6619 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6620 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6621 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6622 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6626 *) Changes in security patch:
6628 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6629 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6630 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6633 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6634 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6635 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6636 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6637 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6639 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6641 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6643 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6644 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6645 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6647 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6648 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6649 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6651 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6652 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6653 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6655 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6657 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6658 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6659 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6661 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6662 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6664 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6665 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6666 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6667 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6668 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6669 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6672 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6673 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6674 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6675 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6678 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6681 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6682 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6683 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6684 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6685 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6686 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6688 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6689 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6690 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6691 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6692 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6695 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6696 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6697 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6698 BN_generate_prime().)
6700 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6701 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6702 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6706 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6707 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6710 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6711 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6712 when using non-blocking I/O.
6713 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6715 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6716 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6718 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6719 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6722 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6723 configuration for the versions before that.
6724 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6726 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6727 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6728 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6729 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6732 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6733 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6734 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6737 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6741 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6742 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6743 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6745 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6746 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6748 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6749 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6750 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6751 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6752 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6753 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6754 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6757 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6758 using a local variable.
6759 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6761 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6762 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6763 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6765 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6768 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6769 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6771 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6772 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6773 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6775 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6777 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6778 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6779 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6780 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6783 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6787 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6788 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6789 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6790 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6791 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6793 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6794 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6795 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6797 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6798 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6799 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6801 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6802 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6803 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6804 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6806 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6807 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6808 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6810 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6812 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6813 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6815 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6817 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6818 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6819 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6820 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6822 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6823 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6824 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6825 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6827 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6828 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6830 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6831 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6832 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6835 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6836 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6837 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6839 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6841 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6842 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6843 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6844 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6845 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6846 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6847 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6850 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6851 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6852 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6853 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6855 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6856 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6857 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6858 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6859 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6860 the client will at least see that alert.
6863 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6867 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6868 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6869 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6871 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6872 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6873 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6874 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6877 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6878 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6879 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6881 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6882 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6883 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6884 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6885 may leak via logfiles.)
6887 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6888 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6889 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6890 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6894 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6895 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6898 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6899 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6900 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6901 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6902 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6905 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6906 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6908 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6909 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6910 followed by modular reduction.
6911 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6913 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6914 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6917 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6918 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6919 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6920 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6923 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6926 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6927 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6930 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6931 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6932 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6933 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6934 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6935 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6937 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6939 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6940 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6941 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6942 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6943 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6945 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6948 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6949 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6950 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6951 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6952 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6953 to allow the necessary settings.
6956 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6957 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6958 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6959 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6962 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6963 dh->length and always used
6965 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6967 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6968 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6969 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6970 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6971 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6976 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6978 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6984 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6985 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6986 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6987 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6989 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6990 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6991 always reject numbers >= n.
6994 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6995 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6996 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6997 variable) is not atomic.
7000 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
7001 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
7002 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
7003 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
7005 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
7006 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
7008 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
7010 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
7012 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
7015 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
7017 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
7018 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
7019 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
7020 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
7021 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
7022 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
7023 to traverse all of 'state'.
7025 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
7026 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
7027 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
7029 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
7030 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
7032 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
7033 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
7034 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
7035 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
7036 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
7037 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
7038 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
7039 further strengthens the PRNG.
7042 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
7045 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
7046 an error message in this case.
7049 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
7052 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
7053 positive and less than q.
7056 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7057 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7059 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7061 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7062 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7066 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7068 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7069 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7070 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7071 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7072 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7073 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7074 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7077 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7078 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7079 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7080 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7082 Both problems are now fixed.
7085 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7086 (previously it was 1024).
7089 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7090 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7093 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7096 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7097 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7098 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7101 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7102 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7103 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7104 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7105 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7106 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7107 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7108 environment variables.
7110 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7111 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7112 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7115 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7116 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7117 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7118 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7119 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7120 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7123 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7127 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7129 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7130 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7132 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7133 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7134 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7135 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7139 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7140 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7141 amount of data available.
7142 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7143 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7145 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7146 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7147 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7148 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7151 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7152 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7156 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7157 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7158 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,

7162 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7165 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7168 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7169 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7171 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7173 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7174 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7175 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7176 (but broken) behaviour.
7179 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7181 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7183 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7184 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7187 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7191 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7192 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7194 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7197 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7198 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7199 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7201 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7202 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7203 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7206 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7207 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7210 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7211 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
7213 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
7215 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
7217 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
7218 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
7219 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
7220 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
7223 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7226 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
7227 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
7228 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7230 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7233 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7235 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7236 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7237 but the code is actually correct.
7240 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7241 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7242 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7243 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7244 and leaves the highest bit random.
7245 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7247 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7248 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
7249 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
7250 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
7251 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
7252 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
7253 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
7256 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
7259 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
7260 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
7263 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
7264 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
7265 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
7266 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
7270 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
7271 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
7272 and break the signature.
7274 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7276 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
7280 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
7281 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
7282 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
7283 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
7284 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
7287 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
7288 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7290 *) ./config script fixes.
7291 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7293 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7296 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7297 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7298 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7299 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7300 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7302 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7303 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7306 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7307 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7310 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7311 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7312 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7313 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7315 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7316 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7318 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7319 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7320 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7321 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7322 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7324 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7327 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7330 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7333 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7336 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7337 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7340 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7341 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7342 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7343 result of the server certificate verification.)
7346 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7347 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7348 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7352 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7353 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7354 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7355 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7356 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7357 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7358 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7359 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7362 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7363 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7364 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7365 happening the other way round.
7368 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7369 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
7372 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
7373 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
7374 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
7375 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
7378 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
7379 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
7381 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
7383 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
7384 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
7385 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7388 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7390 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7392 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7396 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7398 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7399 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7400 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7401 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7402 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7404 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7405 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7409 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7412 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7414 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7415 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7416 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7417 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7418 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7419 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7420 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7421 by the Finished messages.
7424 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7425 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7427 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7428 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7429 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7430 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7431 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7435 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7436 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7437 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7438 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7439 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7440 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7441 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7442 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7443 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7447 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7448 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7449 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7450 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7452 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7453 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7454 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7455 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7456 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7459 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7460 been tested well enough.
7463 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7464 it can return incorrect results.
7465 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7466 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7469 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7470 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7471 include zero length content when signing messages.
7474 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7475 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7478 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7481 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7485 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7486 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7487 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7488 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7489 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7490 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7493 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7494 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7496 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7497 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7499 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7500 random number < q in the DSA library.
7503 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7504 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7505 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7506 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7507 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7508 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7509 just makes things more complicated.)
7512 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7516 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7517 work better on such systems.
7518 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7520 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7521 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7522 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7525 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7526 if there was more than one signature.
7527 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7529 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7530 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7531 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7532 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7535 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7536 rather than always using the current time.
7539 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7540 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7541 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7542 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7543 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7544 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7546 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7547 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7549 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7551 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7552 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7553 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7554 the same hash value.
7556 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7557 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7558 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7559 with X509_STORE internally.
7561 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7562 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7564 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7565 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7566 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7567 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7568 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7569 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7570 entirely (maybe later...).
7572 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7574 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7575 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7576 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7577 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7578 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7579 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7580 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7581 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7583 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7584 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7586 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7587 to customise the verify behaviour.
7590 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7591 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7594 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7595 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7596 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7597 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7598 request is improperly encoded.
7601 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7602 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7605 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7606 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7608 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7609 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7613 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7614 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7615 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7618 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7619 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7620 BIO/fp routines also added.
7623 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7624 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7626 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7627 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7628 demos/state_machine.
7631 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7632 generation and verification.
7635 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7636 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7637 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7638 encode and decode it manually.
7641 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7643 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7645 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7646 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7647 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7648 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7650 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7651 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7652 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7653 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7654 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7657 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7660 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7661 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7662 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7664 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7665 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7666 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7667 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7668 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7669 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7670 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7671 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7673 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7674 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7676 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7678 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7679 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7680 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7684 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7685 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7686 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7687 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7691 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7693 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7696 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7697 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7698 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7699 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7700 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7701 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7702 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7703 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7704 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7705 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7706 short or long names are found.
7709 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7710 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7712 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7713 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7714 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7715 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7717 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7718 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7719 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7720 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7723 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7724 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7725 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7728 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7729 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7730 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7731 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7732 to allow the various flags to be set.
7735 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7736 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7737 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7738 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7739 dates to be checked.
7742 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7743 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7744 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7747 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7748 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7749 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7752 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7753 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7756 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7757 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7758 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7759 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7760 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7761 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7764 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7765 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7769 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7773 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7774 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7775 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7776 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7777 form signing output easier to verify.
7780 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7783 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7784 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7785 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7786 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7787 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7788 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7789 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7790 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7791 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7792 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7795 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7797 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7798 the syntax given in objects.README.
7799 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7801 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7804 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7805 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7806 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7807 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7808 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7809 consistent name changes.
7812 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7815 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7816 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7817 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7818 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7821 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7822 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7823 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7827 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7828 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7829 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7830 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7833 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7834 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7835 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7836 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7837 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7838 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7839 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7840 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7841 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7842 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7843 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7846 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7847 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7848 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7849 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7850 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7851 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7852 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7853 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7854 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7855 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7858 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7859 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7860 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7861 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7863 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7864 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7865 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7866 omit any duplicate addresses.
7869 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7870 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7873 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7874 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7875 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7876 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7877 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7880 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7882 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7883 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7884 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7885 Free => OPENSSL_free
7888 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7889 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7892 *) CygWin32 support.
7893 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7895 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7896 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7897 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7898 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7899 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7903 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7904 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7905 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7906 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7907 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7908 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7909 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7912 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7913 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7914 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7915 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7916 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7917 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7918 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7919 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7920 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7921 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7922 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7925 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7926 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7927 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7928 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7929 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7931 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7932 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7933 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7934 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7935 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7937 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7940 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7941 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7942 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7943 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7945 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7947 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7950 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7951 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7952 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7955 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7956 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7957 any installed hardware versions can.
7960 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7961 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7962 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7966 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7967 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7968 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7969 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7970 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7972 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7973 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7976 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7977 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7980 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7981 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7982 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7986 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7989 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7990 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7991 but no ssl client purpose.
7992 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7994 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7995 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7996 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7997 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7998 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7999 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
8000 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
8001 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
8002 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
8003 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
8004 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
8007 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
8008 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
8009 be obtained from the error queue.
8012 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
8013 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
8014 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
8015 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
8018 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
8021 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
8022 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
8023 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
8024 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
8025 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
8028 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
8029 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
8030 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
8031 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
8032 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
8035 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
8036 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
8037 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
8039 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
8041 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
8042 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
8043 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
8044 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
8045 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
8046 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
8047 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
8048 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
8049 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
8050 or "the configuration storage API"...
8052 The new configuration file reading functions are:
8054 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8055 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8057 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8059 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8061 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8062 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8063 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8064 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8065 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8066 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8067 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8069 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8070 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8073 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8074 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8075 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8076 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8079 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8080 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8081 them in a portable way.
8082 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8084 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8086 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8088 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8089 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8091 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8092 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8093 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8096 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8097 was larger than the MD block size.
8098 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8100 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8101 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8102 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8103 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8107 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8108 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8109 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8111 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8113 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8115 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8116 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8117 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8118 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8119 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8120 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8122 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8123 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8125 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8126 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8129 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8132 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8133 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8135 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8136 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8137 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
8138 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8141 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8142 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8143 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8144 does not suppress any output.
8147 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8148 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8149 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8150 with all the associated security issues.
8152 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8153 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8154 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8155 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8156 use the value in the default purpose.
8159 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8160 and fix a memory leak.
8163 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8164 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8165 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8166 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8169 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8170 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8171 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8172 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8175 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8176 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8177 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8180 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8181 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8184 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8185 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8189 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8190 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8193 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8194 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8195 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8198 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8199 number generation fails.
8202 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8205 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8206 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8208 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8211 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
8212 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
8214 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
8215 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
8217 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
8219 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
8220 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
8223 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8224 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8226 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8227 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8230 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8231 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8232 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8233 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8234 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8235 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8237 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8238 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8239 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8243 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8244 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8245 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8246 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8247 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8248 counter, some don't.)
8249 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
8250 counters or duplicate objects.
8253 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
8254 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
8257 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
8258 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
8259 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
8261 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
8262 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
8263 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
8267 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
8268 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
8271 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
8272 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
8273 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
8277 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
8278 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
8279 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
8282 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
8283 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
8284 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
8285 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
8286 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
8287 should work without changes.
8290 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8291 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8292 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8293 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8294 must be defined. E.g.,
8295 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8296 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8297 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8298 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8300 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8304 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8305 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8306 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8309 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8310 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8311 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8312 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8315 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8316 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8317 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8318 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8319 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8320 is prompted for as usual.
8323 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8324 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8325 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8326 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8328 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8329 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8330 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8331 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8334 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8337 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8341 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8344 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8347 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8351 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8354 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8357 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8358 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8361 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8362 options to produce them.
8365 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8366 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8369 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
8373 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
8374 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
8375 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
8376 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
8377 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
8378 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
8379 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
8382 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
8385 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8386 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8387 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8390 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8391 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8393 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8394 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8397 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8398 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8399 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8403 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8404 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8406 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8407 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8408 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8409 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8410 generation becomes much faster.
8412 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8413 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8414 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8415 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8416 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8417 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8418 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8419 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8420 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8421 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8424 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8425 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8426 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8427 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8428 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8429 trial division stage.
8432 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8436 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8439 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8442 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8443 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8444 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8448 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8449 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8450 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8453 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8454 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8455 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8456 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8458 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8459 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8462 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8465 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8466 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8467 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8468 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8471 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8472 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8473 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8476 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8477 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8478 (instead of parameters) in future.
8481 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8482 when a new cipher list is set.
8485 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8486 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8489 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8490 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8491 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8493 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8494 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8495 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8496 an error is flagged.
8498 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8499 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8500 the readability was also increased :-)
8501 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8503 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8504 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8505 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8506 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8510 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8511 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8514 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8515 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8516 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
8517 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8520 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8521 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8522 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8523 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8524 because they handle more complex structures.)
8527 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8528 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8529 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8530 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8532 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8533 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8534 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8535 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8536 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8537 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8538 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8541 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8542 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8543 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8544 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8545 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8548 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8551 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8552 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8553 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8554 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8555 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8558 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8562 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8563 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8564 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8565 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8568 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8571 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8572 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8573 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8574 international characters are used.
8576 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8577 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8578 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8582 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8583 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8584 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8587 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8588 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8589 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8590 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8591 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8592 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8594 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8595 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8596 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8597 be handled by the string table functions.
8599 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8600 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8601 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8602 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8603 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8607 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8608 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8609 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8610 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8611 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8613 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8614 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8615 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8616 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8619 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8620 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8621 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8622 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8623 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8627 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8628 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8629 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8630 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8631 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8632 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8633 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8634 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8636 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8637 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8638 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8641 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8642 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8643 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8644 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8645 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8646 support to pkcs8 application.
8649 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8650 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8651 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8652 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8653 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8654 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8657 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8658 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8659 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8660 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8661 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8665 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8666 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8667 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8668 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8672 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8673 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8674 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8675 and any application specific purposes.
8677 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8678 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8679 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8680 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8681 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8682 if the certificate is self signed.
8685 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8686 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8689 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8690 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8691 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8692 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8695 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8696 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8697 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8698 Update documentation.
8701 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8702 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8703 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8704 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8705 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8708 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8710 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8712 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8713 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8714 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8715 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8716 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8717 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8718 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8719 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8720 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8721 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8723 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8725 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8726 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8727 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8728 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8729 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8731 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8732 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8733 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8734 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8735 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8736 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8737 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8738 request additional information:
8739 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8740 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8742 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8743 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8744 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8747 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8748 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8751 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8754 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8755 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8757 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8758 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8759 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8763 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8764 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8765 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8767 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8768 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8769 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8770 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8771 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8772 included in OpenSSL.
8775 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8776 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8777 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8778 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8779 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8780 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8783 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8787 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8788 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8789 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8790 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8791 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8795 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8799 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8800 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8801 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8802 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8803 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8804 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8805 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8806 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8807 be maintained manually.
8809 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8810 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8811 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8812 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8813 work because people forget to call this function]
8814 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8815 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8816 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8819 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8820 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8821 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8822 should be discouraged from doing it.
8825 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8826 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8827 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8828 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8829 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8830 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8833 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8834 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8835 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8837 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8838 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8839 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8841 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8842 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8843 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8844 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8845 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8846 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8848 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8849 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8850 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8852 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8853 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8856 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8857 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8858 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8859 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8862 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8865 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8866 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8867 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8868 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8869 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8870 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8871 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8872 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8873 keys so we should be OK.
8875 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8876 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8877 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8878 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8879 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8880 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8881 stay in the name of compatibility.
8883 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8884 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8885 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8887 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8888 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8889 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8890 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8891 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8892 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8896 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8897 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8898 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8899 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8900 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8901 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8902 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8903 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8904 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8905 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8906 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8907 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8908 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8911 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8914 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8915 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8916 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8917 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8918 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8919 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8920 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8921 openssl verify ss.pem
8922 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8923 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8927 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8928 (and add it to external session representation).
8929 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8930 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8931 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8932 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8933 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8934 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8936 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8938 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8939 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8940 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8941 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8943 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8944 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8945 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8948 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8949 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8950 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8954 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8955 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8956 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8958 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8959 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8960 certificate auxiliary information.
8963 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8967 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8968 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8969 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8970 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8971 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8972 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8973 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8976 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8977 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8980 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8981 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8982 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8983 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8986 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8989 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8990 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8993 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8994 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8995 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8996 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8997 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8998 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8999 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
9000 using the new 'x509' options.
9002 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
9003 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
9004 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
9005 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
9009 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
9010 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
9011 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
9012 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
9013 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
9016 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
9017 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
9018 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
9019 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
9020 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
9021 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
9022 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
9023 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
9024 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
9025 the key length and effective key length are equal.
9028 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
9029 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
9030 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
9031 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
9032 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
9033 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
9034 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
9037 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
9038 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
9039 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
9040 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
9041 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
9042 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
9043 openssl.cnf for more info.
9046 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
9047 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
9048 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
9049 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
9050 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
9051 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
9052 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
9053 md should be large enough anyway.
9056 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9057 for handling the random seed file.
9059 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9061 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9064 x509 (when signing).
9065 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9066 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9067 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9069 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9070 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9071 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9072 that support '-rand'.
9075 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9076 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9079 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9080 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9083 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9084 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9085 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9086 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9090 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9091 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9092 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9093 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9096 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9097 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9098 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9099 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9100 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9101 print out all the purposes.
9104 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9108 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9109 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9110 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9111 single function call.
9114 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9115 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9118 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9119 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9120 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9123 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9124 when producing the local key id.
9125 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9127 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9128 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9129 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9133 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9134 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9135 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9136 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9139 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9140 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9141 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9142 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9144 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9145 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9146 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9147 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9149 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9150 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9151 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9152 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9153 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9154 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9155 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9156 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9157 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9158 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9159 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9160 trivial: move one line.
9161 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9163 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9164 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9165 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9166 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9167 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9168 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9169 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9170 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9171 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9172 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9173 with an event loop for example.
9176 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9177 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9178 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9179 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9180 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9181 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9182 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9183 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9184 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9187 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9188 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9189 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9190 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9191 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9192 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9195 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9196 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9197 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9198 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9200 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9201 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9202 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9203 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9207 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9208 (still largely untested)
9211 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
9212 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
9215 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
9216 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
9219 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
9220 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
9221 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
9224 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9225 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9226 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9227 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9228 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9231 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9234 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9235 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9236 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9237 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9238 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9242 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9243 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9246 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
9249 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
9250 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
9251 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
9252 are otherwise ignored at present.
9255 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
9256 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
9257 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
9258 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
9259 copied until the next read.
9262 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
9263 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
9264 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
9267 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
9268 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
9269 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
9270 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
9271 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
9272 associated functions.
9275 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
9276 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
9277 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
9278 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
9279 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
9280 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
9281 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
9282 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
9283 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
9287 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
9288 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
9289 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9290 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9293 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9294 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9295 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9296 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9297 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9301 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9302 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9306 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9307 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9308 extensions to be obtained and added.
9311 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9312 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9315 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9317 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9318 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9320 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9321 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9323 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9327 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9328 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9329 DH parameters contain its length).
9331 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9332 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9333 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9334 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9335 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9336 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9337 utter importance to use
9338 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9340 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9341 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9342 attacks may become possible!
9345 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9348 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9349 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9352 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9353 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9354 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9358 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9359 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9360 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9361 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9362 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9363 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9364 private key operations.
9367 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9370 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9371 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
9373 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
9374 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
9375 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
9376 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
9377 the password callback is called.
9378 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
9380 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
9382 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
9383 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
9384 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
9385 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9386 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9387 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9390 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9391 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9392 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9393 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9394 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9395 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9398 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9401 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9402 delete an unused file.
9405 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9406 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9407 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9408 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9411 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9412 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9413 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9417 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9418 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9419 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9421 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9422 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9423 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9424 comparison" warnings.
9425 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9428 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9429 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9430 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9433 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9434 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9436 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9437 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9439 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9440 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9441 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9443 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9444 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9445 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9446 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9447 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9449 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9451 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9452 The interface is as follows:
9453 Applications can use
9454 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9455 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9456 "off" is now the default.
9457 The library internally uses
9458 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9459 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9460 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9462 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9463 even the default) are now avoided.
9465 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9466 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9467 than just having a counter.
9469 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9471 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9475 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9476 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9477 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9478 Initial "mode" flags are:
9480 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9481 a single record has been written.
9482 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9483 retries use the same buffer location.
9484 (But all of the contents must be
9488 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9491 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9492 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9494 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9495 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9496 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9499 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9500 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9502 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9504 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9505 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9506 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9507 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9509 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9510 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9512 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9513 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9514 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9515 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9516 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9517 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9520 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9521 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9522 necessary function names.
9525 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9526 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9527 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9528 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9531 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9532 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9533 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9536 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9537 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9538 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9539 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9541 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9545 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9546 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9547 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9550 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9551 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9555 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9556 for the encoded length.
9557 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9559 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9562 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9563 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9564 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9565 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9568 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9569 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9570 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9572 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9573 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9574 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9578 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9579 to use the new extension code.
9582 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9583 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9584 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9588 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9589 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9590 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9594 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9597 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9598 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9599 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9602 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9603 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9604 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9605 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9608 *) DES library cleanups.
9611 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9612 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9613 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9614 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9615 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9619 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9620 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9623 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9624 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9625 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9626 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9627 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9628 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9629 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9630 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9631 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9634 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9635 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9636 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9637 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9638 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9639 value doesn't matter.
9642 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9646 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9647 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9648 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9649 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9651 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9654 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9655 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9656 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9658 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9659 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9661 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9664 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9667 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9670 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9674 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9676 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9678 *) Updated some demos.
9679 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9681 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9684 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9687 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9690 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9691 instead of using a fixed path.
9694 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9697 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9701 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9703 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9704 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9705 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9707 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9708 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9709 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9710 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9711 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9712 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9713 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9714 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9715 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9716 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9719 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9720 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9723 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9724 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9725 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9726 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9727 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9729 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9732 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9733 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9734 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9737 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9740 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9741 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9742 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9743 key elements as negative integers.
9746 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9747 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9750 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9752 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9753 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9754 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9757 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9758 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9759 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9760 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9761 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9764 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9767 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9768 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9769 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9770 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9772 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9773 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9774 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9776 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9777 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9778 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9779 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9780 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9781 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9782 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9783 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9784 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9786 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9787 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9788 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9789 does not influence s as it used to.
9791 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9792 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9793 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9794 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9795 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9796 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9799 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9800 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9801 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9805 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9806 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9807 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9811 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9812 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9813 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9817 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9818 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9821 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9822 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9827 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9828 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9830 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9831 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9833 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9836 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9839 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9840 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9842 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9843 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9844 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9848 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9849 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9850 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9851 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9852 now it really counts the depth.
9855 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9856 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9857 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9858 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9859 didn't match the private key).
9861 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9862 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9863 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9866 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9869 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9873 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9874 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9875 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9878 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9881 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9882 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9883 such as /usr/local/bin.
9886 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9887 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9889 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9892 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9893 extension adding in x509 utility.
9896 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9899 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9903 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9906 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9907 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9908 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9909 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9910 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9911 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9912 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9913 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9914 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9915 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9918 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9921 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9922 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9925 *) Fix some race conditions.
9928 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9929 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9932 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9935 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9936 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9937 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9938 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9940 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9941 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9943 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9944 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9945 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9947 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9948 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9950 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9953 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9954 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9956 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9959 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9960 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9962 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9963 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9966 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9967 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9970 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9971 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9974 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9975 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9978 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9979 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9982 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9983 support typesafe stack.
9986 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9987 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9989 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9990 old X509V3 handling code.
9993 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9996 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9999 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
10002 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
10003 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
10005 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
10006 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
10007 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
10008 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
10009 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
10012 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
10013 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
10014 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
10015 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
10016 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
10018 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
10019 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
10020 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
10021 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10023 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
10024 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
10025 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
10026 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10028 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
10029 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
10030 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
10031 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
10032 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
10033 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
10036 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
10037 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
10040 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
10041 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
10044 *) Tweaks to Configure
10045 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10047 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
10051 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
10054 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10055 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10058 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10059 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10060 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10063 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10066 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10067 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10070 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10071 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10072 to library startup routines.
10075 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10076 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10077 codes along the way.
10080 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10081 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10082 objects to objects.h
10085 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10086 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10089 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10090 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10092 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10093 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10094 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10096 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10097 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10098 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10100 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10101 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10102 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10105 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10107 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10108 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10111 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10112 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10113 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10114 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10115 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10117 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10118 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10119 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10121 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10123 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10125 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10127 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10128 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10130 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10131 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10132 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10133 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10135 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10138 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10139 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10140 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10141 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10144 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10145 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10146 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10149 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10150 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10151 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10152 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10153 installed as `perl').
10154 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10156 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10157 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10159 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10160 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
10161 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10162 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10163 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10166 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10169 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10170 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10171 is horrible: I feel ill....
10174 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10175 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10176 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10177 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10180 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10181 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10183 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10184 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10185 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10186 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10188 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10189 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10190 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10191 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10192 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10193 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10195 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10197 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10198 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10200 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10201 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10203 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10206 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10207 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10211 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
10212 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
10213 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
10214 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
10215 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
10216 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
10217 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
10218 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
10219 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
10220 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
10221 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10223 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10226 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10227 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10228 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10229 for linking it into DSOs.
10230 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10232 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10236 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10237 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10238 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10239 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10240 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10241 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10243 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10244 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10245 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10246 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10247 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10248 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
10249 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10251 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
10252 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
10253 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
10257 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
10258 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
10259 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
10260 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
10263 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
10264 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
10265 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
10266 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
10267 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
10271 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
10272 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
10273 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
10274 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
10275 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10277 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
10278 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
10279 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10281 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
10282 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10284 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
10285 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
10286 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
10287 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
10288 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10291 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10292 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10293 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10294 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10295 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10296 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10297 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10300 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10302 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10303 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10306 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10307 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10309 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10310 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10313 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10314 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10315 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10316 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10317 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10319 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10320 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10321 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10322 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10323 no way to reconfigure them.
10324 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10325 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10326 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10327 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10328 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10329 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10331 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10332 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10333 recognized by the users.
10334 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10336 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10337 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10338 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10339 already masked variable.
10340 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10342 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10343 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10345 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10346 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10347 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10348 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10350 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10351 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10352 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10354 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10355 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10356 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10357 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10358 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10359 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10360 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10361 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10363 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10365 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10366 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10367 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10369 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10370 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
10374 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
10375 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10377 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
10378 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
10379 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
10380 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
10383 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
10386 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10387 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10389 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10392 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10393 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10396 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10397 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10400 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10401 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10402 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10403 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10404 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10405 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10406 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10409 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10410 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10412 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10413 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10414 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10415 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10416 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10418 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10419 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10420 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10423 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10424 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10428 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10429 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10430 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10432 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10433 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10434 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10435 build instructions.
10438 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10439 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10440 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10441 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10444 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10445 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10446 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10447 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10450 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10451 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10452 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10453 so it wasn't spotted.
10454 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10456 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10457 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10458 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10459 vectors if you have them.
10462 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10463 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10466 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10467 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10468 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10469 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10471 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10472 it will update them.
10475 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10476 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10477 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10478 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10479 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10480 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10481 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10482 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10484 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10485 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10486 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10487 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10488 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10489 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10490 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10491 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10492 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10493 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10495 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10496 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10497 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10498 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10499 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10502 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10506 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10507 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10509 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10510 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10512 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10513 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10516 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10517 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10519 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10520 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10522 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10525 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10529 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10530 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10531 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10532 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10534 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10537 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10540 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10543 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10544 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10547 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10548 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10552 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10553 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10556 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10557 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10558 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10561 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10562 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10563 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10564 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10565 properly to be processed.
10568 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10569 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10570 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10573 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10574 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10576 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10577 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10578 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10579 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10580 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10581 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10582 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10583 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10584 or delete all the .err files.
10587 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10588 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10589 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10590 to regenerate it if needed.
10591 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10592 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10594 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10595 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10597 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10598 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10599 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10600 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10601 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10604 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10605 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10607 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10608 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10610 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10611 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10612 error, but didn't set one).
10613 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10615 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10618 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10619 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10622 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10623 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10625 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10626 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10627 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10628 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10629 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10630 OID is not part of the table.
10633 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10634 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10637 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10640 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10641 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10645 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10646 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10648 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10650 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10652 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10653 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10655 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10656 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10658 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10659 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10661 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10662 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10665 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10666 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10669 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10670 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10672 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10673 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10675 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10676 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10678 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10679 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10681 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10682 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10683 unused in the certificate verification process.
10684 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10686 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10687 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10690 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10691 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10692 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10694 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10695 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10696 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10697 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10698 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10700 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10701 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10704 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10707 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10710 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10711 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10713 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10716 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10719 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10722 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10723 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10724 other error libraries.
10727 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10730 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10731 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10735 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10736 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10737 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10738 the new set of documenation files.
10739 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10741 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10742 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10743 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10744 number of arguments.
10745 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10747 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10750 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10751 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10752 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10754 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10757 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10761 unixware-2.0-pentium
10765 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10766 before they are needed.
10769 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10773 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10775 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10776 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10777 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10779 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10782 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10783 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10784 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10786 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10787 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10788 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10790 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10791 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10792 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10794 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10795 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10797 *) Updated the README file.
10798 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10800 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10801 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10802 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10804 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10805 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10806 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10808 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10809 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10810 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10811 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10812 o removed obsolete TODO file
10813 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10814 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10816 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10817 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10818 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
10819 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
10820 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
10821 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10822 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10824 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10827 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10828 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10829 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10831 [The OpenSSL Project]
10834 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10836 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10839 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10842 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10843 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10846 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10847 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10851 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10853 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10855 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10858 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10861 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10864 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10867 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10870 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10873 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10876 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10879 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10882 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10885 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10888 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10891 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10894 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10897 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10900 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10903 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10906 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10907 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10908 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10911 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10912 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10915 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10918 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10921 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10922 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10925 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10928 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10931 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
10932 bytes sent in the client random.
