5 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
8 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
9 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
10 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
11 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
12 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
15 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
17 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
18 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
19 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
21 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
22 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
24 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
26 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
29 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
30 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
32 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
33 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
34 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
35 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
36 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
37 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
38 Most broken servers should now work.
39 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
40 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
42 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
45 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
47 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
48 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
51 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
52 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
53 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
54 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
55 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
58 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
59 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
60 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
61 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
62 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
65 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
66 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
68 *) Add support for SCTP.
69 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
71 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
72 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
74 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
76 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
77 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
78 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
79 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
80 - s390x: z196 support;
81 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
85 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
86 (removal of unnecessary code)
87 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
89 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
92 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
95 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
96 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
97 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
99 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
101 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
102 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
103 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
104 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
105 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
107 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
108 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
109 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
111 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
112 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
113 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
115 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
116 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
118 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
120 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
121 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
122 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
125 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
126 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
130 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
131 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
132 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
135 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
136 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
137 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
138 the appropriate parameters.
141 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
142 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
143 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
144 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
145 against a number of sample certificates.
148 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
149 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
151 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
152 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
154 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
155 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
159 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
163 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
164 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
165 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
169 *) Session-handling fixes:
170 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
171 but also support Session Tickets.
172 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
173 presented a ticket with an expired session.
174 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
175 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
176 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
177 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
179 *) Fix PSK session representation.
182 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
184 This work was sponsored by Intel.
187 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
188 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
189 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
190 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
191 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
194 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
195 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
198 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
199 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
200 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
203 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
204 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
205 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
206 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
209 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
210 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
211 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
214 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
215 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
217 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
220 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
221 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
224 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
227 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
228 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
231 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
232 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
235 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
238 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
239 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
240 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
243 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
246 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
249 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
250 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
253 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
254 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
255 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
258 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
261 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
265 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
266 FIPS modules versions.
269 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
270 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
271 until after the certificate request message is received.
274 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
275 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
276 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
277 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
280 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
281 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
282 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
283 support yet and no support for client certificates.
286 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
287 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
288 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
289 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
290 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
291 and version checking.
294 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
295 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
296 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
297 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
301 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
303 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
306 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
307 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
308 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
310 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
311 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
312 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
315 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
316 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
318 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
319 a few changes are required:
321 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
323 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
324 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
325 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
328 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
330 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
331 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
332 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
333 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
334 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
335 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
336 an MMA defence is not necessary.
337 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
338 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
341 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
342 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
343 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
346 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
348 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
349 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
350 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
351 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
354 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
356 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
357 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
358 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
359 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
360 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
361 paper describing this attack can be found at:
362 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
363 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
364 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
365 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
366 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
367 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
368 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
370 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
372 [Adam Langley (Google)]
374 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
375 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
376 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
377 [Adam Langley (Google)]
379 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
380 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
382 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
383 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
384 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
385 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
387 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
388 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
390 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
391 [Adam Langley (Google)]
393 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
394 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
396 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
397 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
398 [Adam Langley (Google)]
400 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
401 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
402 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
404 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
405 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
406 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
407 the last update always remained unused).
408 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
410 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
411 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
413 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
415 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
416 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
417 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
419 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
420 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
421 [Adam Langley (Google)]
423 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
426 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
427 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
428 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
431 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
432 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
434 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
436 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
438 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
440 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
441 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
443 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
444 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
448 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
450 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
451 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
452 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
455 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
456 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
457 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
460 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
462 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
463 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
464 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
467 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
471 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
473 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
475 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
477 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
479 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
480 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
481 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
484 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
487 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
488 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
489 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
491 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
492 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
493 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
496 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
497 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
500 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
501 some responders need this.
504 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
506 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
508 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
509 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
510 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
513 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
516 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
517 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
518 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
519 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
520 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
521 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
522 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
523 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
526 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
527 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
528 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
529 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
531 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
532 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
534 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
538 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
539 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
540 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
541 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
542 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
543 attempting to work them out.
546 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
547 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
548 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
549 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
552 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
553 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
554 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
555 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
556 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
559 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
560 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
567 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
569 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
573 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
574 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
576 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
577 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
579 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
580 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
581 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
582 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
583 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
586 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
587 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
588 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
591 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
592 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
595 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
596 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
598 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
599 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
602 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
605 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
606 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
607 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
611 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
612 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
613 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
614 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
615 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
616 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
619 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
620 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
622 This work was sponsored by Google.
625 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
626 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
627 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
628 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
629 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
630 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
631 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
634 This work was sponsored by Google.
637 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
639 This work was sponsored by Google.
642 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
643 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
644 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
645 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
647 This work was sponsored by Google.
650 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
651 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
652 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
653 CRL functionality in future.
655 This work was sponsored by Google.
658 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
660 This work was sponsored by Google.
663 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
664 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
666 This work was sponsored by Google.
669 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
670 and URI types are currently supported.
672 This work was sponsored by Google.
675 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
676 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
677 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
678 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
679 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
680 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
681 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
682 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
684 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
685 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
686 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
688 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
689 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
690 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
691 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
693 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
694 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
695 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
696 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
697 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
698 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
699 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
700 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
702 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
704 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
705 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
706 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
708 This work was sponsored by Google.
711 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
714 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
715 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
716 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
719 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
720 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
723 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
724 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
727 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
728 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
729 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
730 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
731 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
732 content types and variants.
735 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
738 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
739 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
740 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
741 files from the associated perl scripts.
744 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
745 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
746 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
748 *) s390x assembler pack.
751 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
755 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
756 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
757 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
758 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
759 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
760 to use. For example, specify an option
762 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
764 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
765 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
766 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
767 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
768 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
769 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
771 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
772 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
773 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
774 return non-zero for success.
776 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
779 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
780 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
784 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
787 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
788 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
789 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
790 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
791 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
792 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
793 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
794 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
795 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
797 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
798 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
799 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
800 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
801 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
802 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
804 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
805 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
806 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
807 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
808 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
809 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
813 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
816 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
818 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
819 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
820 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
823 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
824 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
827 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
828 protection in servers so again support should be possible
829 with no application modification.
831 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
832 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
834 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
835 or server extensions to be examined.
837 This work was sponsored by Google.
840 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
841 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
842 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
844 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
845 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
847 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
849 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
850 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
851 to output in BER and PEM format.
854 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
855 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
856 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
857 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
858 -macopt options to dgst utility.
861 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
862 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
863 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
867 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
868 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
869 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
870 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
871 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
872 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
873 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
874 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
877 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
878 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
879 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
880 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
882 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
883 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
884 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
888 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
889 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
890 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
891 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
892 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
893 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
894 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
895 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
896 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
898 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
899 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
900 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
901 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
902 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
903 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
904 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
905 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
906 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
907 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
908 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
911 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
912 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
913 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
915 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
916 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
920 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
921 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
922 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
925 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
926 it yet and it is largely untested.
929 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
932 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
933 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
934 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
937 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
940 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
941 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
942 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
943 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
946 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
947 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
948 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
949 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
950 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
953 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
954 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
957 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
958 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
959 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
960 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
963 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
964 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
965 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
966 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
969 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
970 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
973 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
974 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
975 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
976 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
979 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
980 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
981 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
984 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
988 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
989 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
992 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
993 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
994 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
998 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
999 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1000 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1003 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1004 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1005 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1006 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1009 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1010 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1011 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1012 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1013 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1014 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1017 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1018 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1019 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1020 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1021 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1023 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1024 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1025 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1026 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1027 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1030 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1031 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1032 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1033 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1035 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1036 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1037 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1038 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1039 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1045 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1046 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1050 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1051 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1054 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1055 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1058 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1059 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1060 functional reference processing.
1063 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1064 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1068 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1069 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1070 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1073 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1074 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1075 application to support multiple signers.
1078 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1082 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1083 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1084 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1085 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1086 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1089 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1093 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1094 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1095 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1096 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1100 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1101 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1102 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1103 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1104 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1105 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1106 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1107 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1110 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1111 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1112 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1113 between digests and public key types.
1116 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1117 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1118 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1119 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1122 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1123 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1127 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1130 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1134 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1135 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1136 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1137 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1142 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1144 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1146 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1148 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1149 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1150 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1151 functionality for RSA.
1154 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1155 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1156 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1159 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1160 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1163 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1164 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1165 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1168 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1169 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1172 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1173 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1176 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1177 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1181 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1182 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1183 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1187 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1188 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1189 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1190 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1191 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1192 of public and private key structures.
1195 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1196 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1199 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1200 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1201 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1204 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1208 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1209 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1210 SSL_get_psk_identity
1211 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1213 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1215 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1216 and response verification functionality.
1217 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1219 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1220 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1221 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1222 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1223 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1224 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1225 server_name extension.
1227 New functions (subject to change):
1229 SSL_get_servername()
1230 SSL_get_servername_type()
1233 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1235 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1236 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1237 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1238 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1239 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1241 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1243 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1244 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1245 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1246 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1247 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1248 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1251 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1253 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1256 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1257 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1258 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1259 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1260 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1263 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1264 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1268 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1269 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1270 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1271 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1274 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1275 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1276 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1277 using the maximum available value.
1280 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1281 in addition to the text details.
1284 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1285 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1286 handle several customised structures at all.
1289 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1290 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1291 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1294 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1297 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1298 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1299 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1302 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1303 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1304 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1307 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1308 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1312 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1315 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1318 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
1320 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1321 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1322 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1323 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1326 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
1328 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1329 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1330 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1331 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1332 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1333 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1334 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1335 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1336 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1337 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1338 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1339 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1340 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1342 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
1343 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
1345 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1347 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1349 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1350 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1351 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1352 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1354 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1355 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1356 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1357 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1359 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1360 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1362 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1363 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1365 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1366 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1367 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1369 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1370 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1371 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1373 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1374 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1375 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1376 the last update always remained unused).
1377 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1379 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1380 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1381 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1383 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1386 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1387 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1389 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf

1393 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
1395 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1396 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1398 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1399 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1403 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1405 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1406 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1407 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1410 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1411 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1412 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1415 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1417 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1418 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1419 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1422 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1425 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1426 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1427 some broken encodings work correctly.
1430 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1431 is also one of the inputs.
1432 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1434 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1435 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1436 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
1440 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
1442 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
1445 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
1446 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
1447 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
1449 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
1450 common in certificates and some applications which only call
1451 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
1455 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
1456 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
1457 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
1458 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
1460 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1462 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1463 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1464 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1465 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1466 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1467 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1468 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1469 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1471 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1472 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1473 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1475 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1477 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1478 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1480 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1481 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1484 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1485 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1486 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1489 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1490 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1491 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1492 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1493 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1494 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1497 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1498 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1499 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1502 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1503 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1504 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1505 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1506 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1507 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1511 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1512 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1515 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1516 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1517 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1520 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1523 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1524 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1525 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1526 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1527 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1528 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1529 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1530 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1531 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1534 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1535 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1536 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1539 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1540 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1543 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1544 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1545 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1546 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1547 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1548 know what you are doing.
1549 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1551 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1552 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1553 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1554 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1555 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1556 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1560 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1561 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1562 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1564 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1566 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1567 warnings in other configurations.
1570 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1571 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1572 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1574 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1576 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1577 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1578 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1580 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1581 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1582 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1583 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1586 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1590 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1591 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1593 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1595 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1596 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1597 other than a simple chain.
1598 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1600 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1601 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1602 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1603 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1606 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1607 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1608 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1609 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1610 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1611 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1612 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1613 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1614 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1616 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1617 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1618 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1619 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1620 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1621 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1623 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1625 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1626 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1629 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1630 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1633 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1635 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1637 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1638 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1639 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1640 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1641 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1645 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1647 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1648 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1649 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1650 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1652 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1653 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1654 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1655 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1657 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1658 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1659 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1662 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1663 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1667 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1668 to handle some structures.
1671 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1673 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1675 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1678 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1681 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1684 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1685 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1689 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1691 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1693 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1695 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1698 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1699 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1700 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1701 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1703 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1704 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1706 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1707 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1710 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1711 s_client and s_server.
1714 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1715 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1717 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1718 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1720 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1721 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1722 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1723 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1724 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1727 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1729 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1730 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1733 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1734 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1737 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1738 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1739 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1740 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1742 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1743 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1745 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1747 *) Various precautionary measures:
1749 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1751 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1752 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1753 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1755 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1756 outside the expected range.
1758 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1761 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1763 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1764 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1765 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1767 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1770 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1773 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1775 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1778 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1779 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1780 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1782 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1785 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1786 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1787 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1791 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1793 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1794 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1795 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1796 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1798 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1799 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1802 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1804 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1805 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1806 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1808 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1810 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1811 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1812 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1813 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1816 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1817 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1818 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1819 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1820 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1821 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1822 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1824 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1826 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1827 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1828 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1829 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1830 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1832 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1833 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1835 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1836 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1837 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1838 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1839 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1841 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1843 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1844 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1845 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1846 sets may exist with different names.
1849 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1850 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1851 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1852 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1853 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1854 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1855 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1856 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1857 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1859 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1861 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1862 implemention in the following ways:
1864 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1867 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1868 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1869 ignored for embedded content.
1871 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1872 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1875 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1876 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1877 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1878 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1880 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1881 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1884 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1885 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1888 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1889 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1890 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1891 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1892 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1893 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1897 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1898 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1899 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]

1918 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1920 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1921 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1922 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1923 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1924 to s_client and s_server.
1927 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1929 *) Fix various bugs:
1930 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1931 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1932 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1933 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1934 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1936 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1938 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1939 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1940 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1941 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1942 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1943 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1944 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1945 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1948 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1949 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1950 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1953 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1954 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1955 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1958 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1959 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1962 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1963 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1964 with no application modification.
1966 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1967 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1969 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1970 or server extensions to be examined.
1972 This work was sponsored by Google.
1975 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1976 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1977 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1978 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1979 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1980 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1981 server_name extension.
1983 New functions (subject to change):
1985 SSL_get_servername()
1986 SSL_get_servername_type()
1989 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1991 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1992 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1993 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1994 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1995 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1997 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1999 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2000 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2001 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2002 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2003 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2004 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2007 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2009 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2012 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2015 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2016 (which previously caused an internal error).
2019 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2022 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2023 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2025 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2026 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2027 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2029 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2030 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2031 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2032 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2034 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2035 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2036 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2037 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2039 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2040 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2041 information. For detailed background information, see
2042 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2043 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2044 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2045 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2046 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2047 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2048 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2049 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2050 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2051 remove a conditional branch.
2053 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2054 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2055 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2056 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2057 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2058 remains as a deprecated alias.
2060 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2061 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2062 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2063 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2065 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2066 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2067 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2068 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2069 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2070 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2071 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2072 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2074 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2076 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2077 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2078 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2079 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2080 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2081 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2082 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2083 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2084 in a different context.
2087 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2088 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2089 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2092 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2093 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2094 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2096 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2098 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2099 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2100 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2101 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2102 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2105 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2106 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2107 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2108 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2109 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2110 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2113 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2114 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2115 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2116 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2117 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2120 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2121 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2123 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2124 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2125 Improve header file function name parsing.
2128 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2129 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2132 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2134 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2135 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2136 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2138 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2139 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2141 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2142 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2144 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2145 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2146 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2148 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2149 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2150 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2151 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2152 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2153 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2154 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2155 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2156 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2158 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2159 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2160 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2161 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2162 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2164 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2165 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2166 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2167 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2168 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2169 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2170 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2171 multiple values to extend the available space.
2175 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2177 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2178 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2180 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2183 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2184 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2185 undesirable limitations.
2186 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2188 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2189 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2190 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2191 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2192 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2193 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2194 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2197 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2199 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2200 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2201 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2203 The latter two were purportedly from
2204 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2207 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2208 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2209 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2212 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2213 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2216 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2217 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2218 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2219 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2221 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2222 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2223 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2226 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2227 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2228 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2229 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2230 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2231 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2234 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2236 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2237 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2240 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2241 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2243 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2244 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2245 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2246 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2249 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2250 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2253 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2254 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2255 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2256 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2257 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2258 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2259 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2263 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2264 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2265 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2266 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2269 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2270 under VC++ build system.
2273 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2274 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2277 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2279 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2280 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2281 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2282 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2283 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2285 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2286 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2287 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2289 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2292 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2293 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2296 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2297 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2299 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2302 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2303 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2305 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2306 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2309 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2310 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2314 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2316 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2319 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2322 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2323 key into the same file any more.
2326 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2329 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2330 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2332 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2333 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2336 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2337 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2338 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2339 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2340 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2341 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2343 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2344 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2345 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2348 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2349 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2350 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2351 - add new function for parameter creation
2352 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2353 BN_BLINDING parameters
2354 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2355 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2356 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2360 *) Add support for DTLS.
2361 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2363 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2364 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2367 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2368 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2371 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2372 the apps/openssl applications.
2375 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2376 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2377 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2380 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2381 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2383 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2384 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2386 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2387 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2388 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2389 avoid this algorithm.)
2393 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2394 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2395 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2398 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2399 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2402 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2403 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2404 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2407 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2409 The blank line is mandatory.
2413 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2414 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2418 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2419 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2421 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2422 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2423 to support policy checking and print out.
2426 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2427 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2428 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2429 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2431 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2434 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2435 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2437 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2438 implementation contributed by IBM.
2439 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2441 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2442 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2443 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2444 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2446 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2447 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2449 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2450 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2451 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2452 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2453 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2454 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2457 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2458 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2459 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2460 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2461 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2462 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2463 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2466 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2469 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2470 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2471 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2472 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2473 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2474 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2475 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2476 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2479 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2480 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2481 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2482 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2485 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2488 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2491 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2492 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2493 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2494 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2495 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2496 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2497 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2500 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2501 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2504 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2505 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2506 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2509 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2510 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2511 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2515 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2516 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2519 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2520 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2521 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2522 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2525 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2526 initialised value as BN_new().
2527 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2529 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2532 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2533 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2534 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2535 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2536 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2537 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2538 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2539 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2540 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2541 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2542 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2543 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2544 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2545 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2546 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2548 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2549 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2550 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2551 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2554 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2555 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2556 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2557 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2558 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2559 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2560 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2561 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2562 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2565 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2566 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2567 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2568 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2569 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2570 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2571 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2574 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2575 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2576 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2577 these have been updated also.
2580 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2581 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2582 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2583 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2584 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2588 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2589 structure of type "other".
2592 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2593 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2594 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2595 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2596 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2597 situation in the script.
2598 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2600 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2601 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2602 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2603 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2604 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2605 used as premaster secret.
2606 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2608 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2609 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2610 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2612 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2613 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2615 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2616 control of the error stack.
2619 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2622 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2623 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2624 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2625 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2628 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2629 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2630 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2633 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2634 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2635 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2639 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2640 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2641 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2642 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2645 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2646 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2647 the following flags are defined:
2649 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2650 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2651 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2654 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2655 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2656 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2657 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2661 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2662 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2663 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2664 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2665 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2668 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2669 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2670 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2673 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2674 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2675 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2676 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2677 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2678 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2681 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2685 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2688 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2691 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2694 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2695 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2696 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2697 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2698 default implementation more easily.
2701 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2705 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2706 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2709 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2710 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2711 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2712 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2714 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2715 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2716 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2717 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2720 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2721 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2725 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2726 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2727 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2728 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2729 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2730 scalar * generator).
2731 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2733 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2734 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2735 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2739 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2740 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2741 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2742 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2743 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2744 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2745 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2746 linker additions, eg;
2747 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2750 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2751 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2752 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2755 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2756 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2757 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2761 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2762 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2763 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2764 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2767 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2768 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2769 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2770 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2771 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2772 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2773 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2774 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2775 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2776 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2778 Example for using the new callback interface:
2780 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2784 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2786 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2787 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2788 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2789 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2790 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2791 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2796 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2797 available to TLS with the number defined in
2798 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2801 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2802 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2804 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2805 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2806 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2807 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2809 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2810 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2812 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2813 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2817 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2818 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2821 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2822 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2823 and a macro that behave like
2824 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2826 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2829 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2830 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2831 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2833 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2835 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2838 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2839 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2840 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2841 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2843 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2844 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2845 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2846 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2847 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2848 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2849 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2850 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2852 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2853 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2856 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2857 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2859 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2860 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2861 files while avoiding the low level API.
2863 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2864 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2865 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2866 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2868 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2869 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2870 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2871 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2872 instead of the low level API.
2875 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2876 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2877 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2878 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2879 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2882 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2883 down to the template encoder.
2886 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2887 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2890 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2891 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2892 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2893 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2895 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2896 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2898 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2899 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2901 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2902 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2905 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2906 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2907 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2910 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2911 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2913 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2914 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2916 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2917 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2920 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2924 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2925 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2926 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2927 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2928 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2929 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2931 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2932 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2935 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2936 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2937 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2938 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2939 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2940 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2941 various internal method names.)
2943 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2944 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2946 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2947 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2949 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2950 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2952 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2953 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2954 methods are undefined.
2956 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2957 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2959 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2960 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2961 length of the modulus.
2963 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2964 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2966 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2967 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2969 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2970 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2972 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2973 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2974 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2977 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2978 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2979 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2980 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2982 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2983 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2984 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2985 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2987 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2988 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2990 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2991 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2992 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2993 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2994 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2996 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2997 This applies to the following functions:
3002 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3003 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3005 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3006 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3010 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3015 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3017 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3018 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3019 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3020 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3021 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3023 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3024 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3026 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3027 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3028 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3030 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3031 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3033 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3034 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3035 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3036 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3037 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3039 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3041 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3042 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3043 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3044 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3045 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3046 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3047 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3048 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3049 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3050 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3051 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3052 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3054 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3057 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3058 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3059 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3060 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3062 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3063 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3064 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3065 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3070 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3071 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3072 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3073 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3074 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3076 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3077 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3078 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3079 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3080 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3081 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3082 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3083 adding different types of curves.
3084 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3086 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3087 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3088 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3091 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3092 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3094 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3095 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3096 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3097 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3099 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3101 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3102 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3104 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3105 library. Most notably,
3106 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3107 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3108 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3109 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3110 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3111 extracted before the specific public key;
3112 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3113 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3115 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3116 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3118 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3119 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3120 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3121 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3123 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3124 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3125 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3127 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3128 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3129 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3130 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3131 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3132 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3136 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3138 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3140 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3142 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3143 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3144 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3147 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3148 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3149 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3152 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3155 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3156 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3159 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3160 run algorithm test programs.
3163 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3166 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3167 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3168 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3169 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3170 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3173 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3174 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3177 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3179 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3180 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3181 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3183 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3184 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3186 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3187 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3189 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3190 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3191 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3193 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3194 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3195 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3196 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3197 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3198 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3199 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3202 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3204 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3205 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3207 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3208 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3209 undesirable limitations.
3210 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3212 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3214 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3215 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3216 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3218 The latter two were purportedly from
3219 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3222 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3223 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3224 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3227 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3228 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3231 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3233 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3234 module in FIPS mode.
3237 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3240 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3241 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3242 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3243 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3246 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3248 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3249 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3250 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3251 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3252 the difference induced by this change.
3255 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3257 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3258 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3259 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3260 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3261 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3263 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3264 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3265 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3267 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3268 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3271 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3272 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3273 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3274 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3278 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3279 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3280 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3281 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3282 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3284 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3285 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3286 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3287 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3288 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3289 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3291 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3293 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3294 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3295 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3296 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3297 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3300 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3304 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3305 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3306 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3309 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3310 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3311 structures constant.
3314 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3316 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3319 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3320 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3321 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3322 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3323 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3324 some needed definitions.
3327 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3330 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3331 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3332 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3333 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3336 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3338 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3339 server and client random values. Previously
3340 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3341 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3343 This change has negligible security impact because:
3345 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3348 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3351 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3352 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3355 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3358 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3360 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3363 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3364 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3365 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3367 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3370 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3371 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3374 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3375 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3376 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3378 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3381 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3382 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3383 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3387 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3388 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3389 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3390 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3392 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3393 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3394 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3395 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3399 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3401 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3402 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3403 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3404 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3405 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3408 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3411 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3412 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3414 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3415 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3416 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3417 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3418 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3419 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3420 rather than being initialized to 1.
3423 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3425 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3426 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3427 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3429 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3431 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3433 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3434 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3435 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3436 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3437 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3438 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3441 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3442 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3443 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3444 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3445 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3449 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3450 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3451 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3452 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3453 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3456 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3457 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3458 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3462 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3463 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3465 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3468 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3470 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3472 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3473 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3475 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3477 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3478 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3482 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3483 exiting on the first error in a request.
3486 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3487 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3491 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3492 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3493 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3494 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3496 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3497 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3500 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3501 blocks during encryption.
3504 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3505 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3506 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3507 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3511 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3512 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3513 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3514 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3515 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3519 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3521 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3522 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3523 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3524 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3527 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3528 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3529 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3530 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3531 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3533 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3534 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3535 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3536 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3537 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3538 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3539 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3540 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3541 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3544 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3545 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3546 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3547 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3550 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3551 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3554 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3556 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3557 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3558 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3559 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3560 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3562 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3563 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3564 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3566 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3567 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3568 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3569 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3570 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3572 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3573 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3574 used by default when no-err is given.
3577 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3578 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3580 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3581 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3582 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3583 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3584 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3586 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3587 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3588 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3589 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3591 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3593 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3595 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3597 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3598 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3599 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3600 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3604 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3605 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3607 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3608 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3611 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3612 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3613 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3614 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3617 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3618 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3619 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3620 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3621 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3622 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3623 followup to PR #377.
3626 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3627 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3630 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3631 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3632 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

3640 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3641 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3642 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session

3654 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3655 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3656 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3657 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3658 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3659 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3661 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3662 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3663 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3664 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3665 have to be made anyway).
3668 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3669 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3670 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3673 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3674 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3675 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3678 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3679 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3680 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

3683 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3684 edit numbers of the version.
3685 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]

3776 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.

3783 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3784 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]

3790 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3791 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3792 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3794 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3795 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3796 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3798 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3799 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3800 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3801 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3803 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3804 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3805 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3808 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3809 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3810 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3811 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3812 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3813 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3814 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3815 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3818 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3819 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3820 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3823 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3824 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3825 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3826 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3827 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3829 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3830 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3832 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3833 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3836 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3837 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3838 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3839 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3840 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3841 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3844 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3845 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3846 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3849 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3850 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3853 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3854 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3855 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3856 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3857 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3858 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3859 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3862 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3863 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3864 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3865 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3866 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3867 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3870 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3871 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3872 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3873 declaration has been changed from
3876 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3877 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3878 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3879 has been changed into
3880 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3882 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3883 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3884 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3886 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3887 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3889 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3890 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3891 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3892 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3893 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3894 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3895 always load it have also been added.
3898 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3899 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3900 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3902 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3904 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3905 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3906 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3908 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3909 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3910 command line option can be used to specify an
3914 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3915 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3918 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3919 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3920 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3923 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3924 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3925 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3926 to work with the new engine framework.
3927 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3929 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3930 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3931 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3932 to work with the new engine framework.
3935 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3936 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3937 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3939 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3940 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3942 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3943 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3944 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3945 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3947 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3949 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3950 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3952 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3953 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3955 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3956 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3957 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3960 *) Add new functions
3962 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3963 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3964 These are similar to
3967 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3968 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3969 still in the error queue.
3970 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3972 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3974 default_algorithms = ALL
3975 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3978 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3981 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3984 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3985 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3986 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3987 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3989 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3990 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3992 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3993 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3995 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3996 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3999 *) New functions/macros
4001 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4002 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4003 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4004 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4006 to request calling a callback function
4008 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4009 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4011 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4012 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4013 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4014 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4015 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4016 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4017 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4018 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4019 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4020 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4022 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4023 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4026 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4027 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4028 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4029 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4030 the configuration scripts.
4032 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4033 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4034 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4036 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4037 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4039 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4040 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4041 when reusing an existing buffer.
4044 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4045 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4048 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4049 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4052 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4053 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4054 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4055 has the same effect.
4056 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4058 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4059 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4060 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4061 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4062 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4063 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4066 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4067 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4068 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4069 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4071 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4072 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4073 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4074 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4076 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4077 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4080 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4081 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4082 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4083 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4084 default), and then completely removed.
4087 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4088 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4089 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4090 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4091 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4092 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4093 particular extension is supported.
4096 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4097 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4100 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4101 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4102 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4103 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4104 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4105 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4106 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4107 requires the destination to be valid.
4109 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4110 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4113 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4114 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4115 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4118 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4119 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4121 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4122 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4123 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4124 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4125 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4126 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4127 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4128 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4129 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4130 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4131 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4132 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4133 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4134 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4135 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4136 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4137 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4138 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4139 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4143 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4146 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4147 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4148 become part of libeay.num as well.
4151 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4152 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4153 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4154 false once a handshake has been completed.
4155 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4156 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4157 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4158 client has followed the request.)
4161 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4162 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4163 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4164 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4166 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4167 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4168 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4171 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4174 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4175 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4176 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4179 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4180 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4183 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4184 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4185 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4186 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4189 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4190 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4191 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4192 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4193 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4194 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4197 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4198 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4199 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4200 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4201 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4202 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4203 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4204 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4207 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4208 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4211 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4214 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4215 md_data void pointer.
4218 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4219 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4220 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4221 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4222 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4223 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4226 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4227 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4228 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4229 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4230 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4231 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4232 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4233 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4234 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4235 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4236 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4237 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4238 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4239 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4240 rather than letting it slide.
4242 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4243 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4244 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4247 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4248 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4249 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4250 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4251 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4252 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4253 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4254 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4255 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4258 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4259 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4260 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4261 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4262 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4264 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4267 *) Add EVP test program.
4270 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4273 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4274 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4275 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4276 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4277 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4280 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4281 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4282 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4283 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4284 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4285 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4286 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4288 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4289 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4290 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4295 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4296 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4297 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4298 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4299 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4303 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4304 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4305 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4306 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4309 des_key_schedule ks;
4311 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4312 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4314 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4317 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4318 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4319 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4320 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4321 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4322 functions prevents this.
4325 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4328 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4329 correct _ecb suffix.
4332 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4333 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4334 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4335 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4336 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4339 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4342 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4343 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4344 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4345 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4347 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4348 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4350 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4351 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4352 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4353 via Richard Levitte]
4355 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4356 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4357 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4358 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4361 *) Speed up EVP routines.
4364 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
4365 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

4379 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4380 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4382 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4383 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4384 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4385 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4386 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4387 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4390 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4391 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4394 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4395 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4396 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4397 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4399 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4400 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4401 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4402 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4403 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4404 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4408 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4409 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4410 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4411 and interrupts/cancellations.
4414 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4415 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4418 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4419 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4420 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4422 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4423 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4427 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4428 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4429 than this minimum value is recommended.
4432 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4433 that are easily reachable.
4436 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4437 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4439 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4441 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4442 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4443 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4444 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4447 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4448 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4449 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4452 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4453 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4454 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4455 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4456 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4457 internally such as S/MIME.
4459 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
4460 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
4461 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
4463 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
4467 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
4468 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
4469 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
4470 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
4472 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4474 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
4476 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
4477 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4478 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4482 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4483 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4484 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4485 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4486 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4487 a window system and the like.
4490 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4491 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4494 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4495 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4496 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4497 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4498 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4499 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4500 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4501 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4502 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4506 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4507 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4511 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4512 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4513 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4514 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4515 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4516 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4517 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4518 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4521 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4522 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4523 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4524 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4525 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4526 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4527 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4528 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4529 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4530 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4531 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4532 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4533 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4534 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4535 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4536 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4537 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4540 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4541 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4542 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4543 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4544 internal engine_int.h header.
4547 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4548 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4549 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4550 modify their own ones).
4553 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4554 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4555 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4556 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4557 later on via ctrl() commands.
4558 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4559 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4560 structural references.
4561 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
4562 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
4563 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
4564 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
4565 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
4566 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
4567 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
4568 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4569 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4570 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4571 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4572 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4575 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4576 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4577 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4578 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4579 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4580 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4581 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4582 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4585 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4586 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4589 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4590 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4593 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4594 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4595 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4596 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4597 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4598 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4599 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4602 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4603 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4604 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4605 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4606 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4608 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4609 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4613 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4615 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4616 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4617 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4619 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4620 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4622 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4623 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4624 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4626 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4627 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4629 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4630 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4632 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4634 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4635 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4636 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4639 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4640 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4643 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4644 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4645 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4646 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4647 is 40 of more characters long.
4650 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4651 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4655 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4656 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4659 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4660 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4664 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4666 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4667 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4670 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4672 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4673 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4674 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4676 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4677 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4679 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4682 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4686 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4687 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4688 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4689 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4691 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4693 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4694 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4696 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4697 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4698 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4699 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4700 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4701 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4703 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4704 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4706 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4707 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4709 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4710 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4712 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4713 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4714 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4715 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4717 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4718 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4720 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4721 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4723 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4724 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4725 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4726 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4727 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4730 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4731 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4732 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4733 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4736 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4737 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4738 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4742 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4743 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4744 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4745 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4746 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4747 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4748 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4749 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4753 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4754 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4757 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4758 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4759 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4760 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4763 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4764 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4765 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4766 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4767 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4768 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4769 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4770 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4771 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4772 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4775 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4776 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4777 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4778 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4779 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4780 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4781 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4782 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4784 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4785 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4786 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4787 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4790 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4791 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4792 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4793 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4795 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4796 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4797 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4798 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4799 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4803 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4804 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4805 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4806 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4810 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4811 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4812 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4815 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4816 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4817 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4818 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4819 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4822 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4825 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4826 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4827 option to ocsp utility.
4830 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4831 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4832 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4833 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4834 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4835 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4836 the request is nonce-less.
4839 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4840 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4841 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4844 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4845 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4846 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4849 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4850 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4851 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4852 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4853 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4856 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4857 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4861 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4862 additional certificates supplied.
4865 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4866 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4870 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4871 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4874 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4875 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4876 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4877 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4878 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4879 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4880 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4881 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4882 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4884 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4885 request to response.
4888 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4889 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4890 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4891 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4892 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4893 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4894 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4895 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4896 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4897 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4898 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4901 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4902 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4903 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4904 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4907 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4908 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4910 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4911 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4912 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4915 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4916 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4917 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4918 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4919 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4921 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4922 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4923 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4926 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4927 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4928 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4929 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4930 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4931 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4932 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4933 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4935 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4936 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4937 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4938 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4939 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4940 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4943 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4944 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4945 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4946 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4947 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4948 printout format cleaned up.
4951 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4952 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4953 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4954 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4955 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4956 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4957 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4958 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4961 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4962 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4963 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4964 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4965 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4966 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4967 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4968 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4971 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4972 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4973 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4974 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4976 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4978 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4979 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4980 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4981 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4984 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4985 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4986 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4987 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4989 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4991 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4992 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4993 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4994 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4996 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4997 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4999 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5000 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5001 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5004 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5005 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5006 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5009 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5010 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5011 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5012 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5013 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5014 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5015 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5016 functions are provided:
5018 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5019 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5020 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5021 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5023 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5024 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5025 extended allocation function is enabled.
5026 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5027 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5028 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5030 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5031 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5032 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5033 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5034 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5037 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5038 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5039 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5041 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5042 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5043 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5046 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5047 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5048 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5049 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5050 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5051 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5052 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5053 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5054 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5057 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5058 provide utility functions which an application needing
5059 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5060 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5061 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5063 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5064 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5065 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5066 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5067 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5068 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5069 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5070 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5071 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5073 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5074 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5075 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5076 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5079 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5080 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5081 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5082 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5083 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5084 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5085 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5086 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5087 will be added elsewhere.
5090 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5091 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5092 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5093 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5096 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5097 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5098 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5099 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5100 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5101 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5102 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5103 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5104 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5105 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5106 to produce the required SET OF.
5109 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5110 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5111 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5114 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5115 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5116 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5117 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5118 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5119 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5122 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5123 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5124 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5127 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5128 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5129 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5132 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5133 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5134 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5135 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5136 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5139 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5140 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5143 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5144 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5145 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5146 certifcates and CRLs.
5149 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5150 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5151 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5154 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5155 entries for variables.
5158 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5159 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5160 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5161 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5164 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5165 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5166 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5167 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5168 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5169 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5172 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5173 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5175 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5176 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5177 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5180 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5184 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5185 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5186 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5187 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5188 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5189 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5192 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5195 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5196 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5197 for now but they will eventually go away.
5200 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5201 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5202 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5203 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5204 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5205 has also been converted to the new form.
5208 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5209 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5210 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5211 for negative moduli.
5214 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5215 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5218 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5222 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5223 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5224 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5225 type-specific callbacks.
5228 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5230 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5231 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5233 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5234 in sections depending on the subject.
5237 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5241 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5242 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5243 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5244 be handled deterministically).
5245 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5247 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5248 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5249 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5252 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5255 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5256 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5257 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5258 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5259 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5262 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5263 sign of the number in question.
5265 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5267 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5268 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5269 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5270 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5271 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5274 *) New function BN_swap.
5277 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5278 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5279 results on negative inputs.
5282 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5283 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5284 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5287 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5288 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5289 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5290 and add new functions:
5299 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5303 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5305 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5306 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5308 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5309 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5310 be reduced modulo m.
5311 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5314 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5315 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5316 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5318 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5319 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5320 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5321 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5322 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5323 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5328 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5329 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5330 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5331 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5332 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5334 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5335 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5336 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5340 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5343 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5344 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5347 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5348 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5349 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5350 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5354 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5357 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5360 *) Add the following functions:
5362 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5364 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5366 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5368 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5369 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5370 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5371 libraries unless it's really needed.
5373 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5374 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5375 declarations (they differed!).
5378 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5381 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5384 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5387 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5388 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5391 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5392 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5393 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5395 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5396 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5399 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5402 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5405 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5408 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5409 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5410 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5412 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5413 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5414 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5415 different shared library filenames on each system.
5418 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5421 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5422 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5423 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5425 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5428 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5429 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5430 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5431 binary backward compatibility.
5432 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5433 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5434 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5438 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5439 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5440 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5441 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5445 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5448 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5449 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5450 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5451 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5455 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5458 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
5460 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5461 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5462 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5464 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
5466 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
5468 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
5469 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
5472 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
5474 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5476 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5477 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5479 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5480 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5484 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5485 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5489 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5490 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5491 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5492 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5494 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5495 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5498 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5500 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5501 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5502 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5503 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5506 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5507 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5508 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5509 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5510 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5512 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5513 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5514 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5515 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5516 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5517 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5518 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5519 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5520 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5523 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5525 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5526 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5527 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5528 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5529 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5531 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5532 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5533 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5535 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5537 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5538 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5539 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5540 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5541 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5542 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5545 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5546 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5547 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5548 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5549 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5552 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5553 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5554 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5556 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5557 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5558 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
5562 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
5563 being properly terminated.
5566 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
5567 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
5568 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
5569 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
5571 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
5572 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
5573 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
5574 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
5575 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
5576 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
5577 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
5579 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5581 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5582 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5585 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5586 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5587 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
5588 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
5589 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
5590 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
5591 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
5592 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
5594 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5595 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5596 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5597 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5598 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5600 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5601 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5604 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5606 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5607 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5608 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5610 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5612 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5613 and get fix the header length calculation.
5614 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5615 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5618 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5619 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5620 assertions could call abort()).
5621 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5623 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5625 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5626 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5627 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5629 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5631 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5632 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5633 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5636 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5640 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5641 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5642 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5644 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5645 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5646 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5647 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5648 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5652 *) Changes in security patch:
5654 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5655 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5656 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5659 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5660 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5661 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5662 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5663 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5665 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
5667 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5669 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5670 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5671 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
5673 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5674 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5675 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5677 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5678 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5679 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5681 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5683 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5684 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5685 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5687 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5688 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5690 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5691 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5692 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5693 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5694 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5695 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5698 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5699 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5700 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5701 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5704 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5707 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5708 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5709 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5710 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5711 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5712 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5714 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5715 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5716 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5717 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5718 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5721 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5722 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5723 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5724 BN_generate_prime().)
5726 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5727 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5728 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5732 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5733 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5736 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5737 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5738 when using non-blocking I/O.
5739 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5741 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5742 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5744 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5745 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5748 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5749 configuration for the versions before that.
5750 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5752 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5753 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5754 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5755 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5758 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5759 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5760 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5763 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5767 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5768 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5769 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5771 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5772 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5774 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5775 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5776 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5777 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5778 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5779 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5780 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5783 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5784 using a local variable.
5785 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5787 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5788 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5789 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5791 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5794 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5795 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5797 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5798 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5799 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5801 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5803 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5804 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5805 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5806 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5809 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5813 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5814 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5815 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5816 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5817 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5819 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5820 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5821 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5823 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5824 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5825 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5827 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5828 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5829 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5830 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5832 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5833 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5834 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5836 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5838 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5839 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5841 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5843 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5844 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5845 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5846 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5848 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5849 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5850 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5851 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5853 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5854 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5856 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5857 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5858 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5861 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5862 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5863 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5865 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5867 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5868 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5869 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5870 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5871 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5872 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5873 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5876 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5877 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5878 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5879 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5881 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5882 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5883 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5884 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5885 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5886 the client will at least see that alert.
5889 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5893 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5894 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5895 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5897 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5898 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5899 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5900 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5903 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5904 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5905 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5907 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5908 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5909 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5910 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5911 may leak via logfiles.)
5913 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5914 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5915 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5916 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5920 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5921 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5924 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5925 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5926 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5927 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5928 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5931 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5932 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5934 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5935 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5936 followed by modular reduction.
5937 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5939 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5940 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5943 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5944 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5945 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5946 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5949 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5952 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5953 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5956 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5957 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5958 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5959 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5960 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5961 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5963 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5965 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5966 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5967 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5968 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5969 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5971 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5974 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5975 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5976 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5977 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5978 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5979 to allow the necessary settings.
5982 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5983 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5984 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5985 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5988 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5989 dh->length and always used
5991 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5993 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5994 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5995 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5996 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5997 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6002 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6004 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6010 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6011 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6012 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6013 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6015 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6016 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6017 always reject numbers >= n.
6020 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6021 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6022 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6023 variable) is not atomic.
6026 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6027 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6028 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6029 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6031 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6032 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6034 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6036 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6038 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6041 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6043 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6044 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6045 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6046 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6047 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6048 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6049 to traverse all of 'state'.
6051 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6052 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6053 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6055 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6056 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6058 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6059 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6060 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6061 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6062 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6063 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6064 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6065 further strengthens the PRNG.
6068 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6071 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6072 an error message in this case.
6075 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6078 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6079 positive and less than q.
6082 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6083 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6085 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6087 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6088 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6092 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6094 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6095 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6096 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6097 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6098 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6099 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6100 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6103 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6104 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6105 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6106 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6108 Both problems are now fixed.
6111 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6112 (previously it was 1024).
6115 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6116 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6119 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6122 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6123 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6124 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6127 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6128 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6129 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6130 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6131 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6132 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6133 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6134 environment variables.
6136 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6137 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6138 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6141 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6142 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6143 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6144 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6145 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6146 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6149 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6153 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6155 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6156 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6158 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6159 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6160 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6161 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6165 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6166 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6167 amount of data available.
6168 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6169 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6171 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6172 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6173 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6174 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6177 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6178 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6182 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6183 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6184 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6185 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6188 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6191 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6194 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6195 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6197 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6199 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6200 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6201 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6202 (but broken) behaviour.
6205 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6207 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6209 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6210 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6213 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6217 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6218 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6220 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6223 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6224 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6225 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6227 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6228 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6229 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6232 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6233 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6236 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6237 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6239 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6241 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6243 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6244 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6245 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6246 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6249 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6252 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6253 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6254 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6256 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6259 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6261 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6262 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6263 but the code is actually correct.
6266 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6267 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6268 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6269 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6270 and leaves the highest bit random.
6271 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6273 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6274 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6275 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6276 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6277 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6278 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6279 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6282 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6285 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6286 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6289 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6290 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6291 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6292 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6296 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6297 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6298 and break the signature.
6300 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6302 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6306 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6307 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6308 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6309 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6310 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6313 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6314 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6316 *) ./config script fixes.
6317 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6319 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6322 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6323 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6324 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6325 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6326 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6328 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6329 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6332 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6333 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6336 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6337 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6338 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6339 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6341 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6342 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6344 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6345 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6346 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6347 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6348 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6350 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6353 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6356 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6359 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6362 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6363 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6366 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6367 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6368 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6369 result of the server certificate verification.)
6372 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6373 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6374 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6378 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6379 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6380 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6381 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6382 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6383 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6384 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6385 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6388 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6389 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6390 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6391 happening the other way round.
6394 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6395 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6398 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6399 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6400 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6401 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6404 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6405 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6407 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6409 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6410 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6411 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6414 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6416 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6418 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6422 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6424 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6425 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6426 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6427 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6428 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6430 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6431 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6435 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6438 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6440 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6441 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6442 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6443 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6444 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6445 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6446 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6447 by the Finished messages.
6450 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6451 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6453 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6454 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6455 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6456 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6457 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
6461 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
6462 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
6463 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
6464 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
6465 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
6466 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
6467 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
6468 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
6469 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
6473 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
6474 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
6475 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
6476 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6478 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6479 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6480 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6481 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6482 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6485 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6486 been tested well enough.
6489 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6490 it can return incorrect results.
6491 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6492 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6495 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6496 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6497 include zero length content when signing messages.
6500 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6501 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6504 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6507 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6511 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6512 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6513 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6514 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6515 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6516 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6519 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6520 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6522 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6523 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6525 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6526 random number < q in the DSA library.
6529 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6530 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6531 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6532 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6533 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6534 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6535 just makes things more complicated.)
6538 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6542 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6543 work better on such systems.
6544 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6546 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6547 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6548 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6551 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6552 if there was more than one signature.
6553 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6555 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6556 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6557 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6558 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6561 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
6562 rather than always using the current time.
6565 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
6566 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
6567 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
6568 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
6569 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
6570 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
6572 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
6573 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
6575 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
6577 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
6578 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
6579 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
6580 the same hash value.
6582 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6583 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6584 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6585 with X509_STORE internally.
6587 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6588 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6590 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6591 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6592 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6593 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6594 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6595 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6596 entirely (maybe later...).
6598 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6600 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6601 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6602 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6603 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6604 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6605 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6606 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6607 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6609 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6610 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6612 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6613 to customise the verify behaviour.
6616 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6617 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6620 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6621 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6622 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6623 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6624 request is improperly encoded.
6627 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6628 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6631 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6632 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6634 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6635 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6639 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6640 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6641 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6644 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6645 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6646 BIO/fp routines also added.
6649 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6650 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6652 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6653 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6654 demos/state_machine.
6657 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6658 generation and verification.
6661 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6662 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6663 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6664 encode and decode it manually.
6667 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6669 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6671 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6672 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6673 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6674 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6676 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6677 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6678 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6679 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6680 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6683 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6686 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6687 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6688 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6690 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6691 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6692 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6693 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6694 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6695 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6696 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6697 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6699 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6700 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6702 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6704 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6705 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6706 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6710 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6711 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6712 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6713 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6717 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6719 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6722 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6723 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6724 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6725 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6726 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6727 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6728 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6729 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6730 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6731 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6732 short or long names are found.
6735 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6736 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6738 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6739 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6740 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6741 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6743 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6744 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6745 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6746 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6749 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6750 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6751 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6754 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6755 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6756 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6757 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6758 to allow the various flags to be set.
6761 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6762 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6763 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6764 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6765 dates to be checked.
6768 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6769 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6770 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6773 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6774 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6775 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6778 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6779 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6782 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6783 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6784 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6785 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6786 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6787 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6790 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6791 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6795 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6799 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6800 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6801 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6802 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6803 form signing output easier to verify.
6806 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6809 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6810 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6811 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6812 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6813 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6814 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6815 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6816 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6817 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6818 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6821 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6823 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6824 the syntax given in objects.README.
6825 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6827 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6830 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6831 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6832 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6833 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6834 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6835 consistent name changes.
6838 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6841 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6842 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6843 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6844 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6847 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6848 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6849 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6853 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6854 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6855 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6856 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6859 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6860 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6861 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6862 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6863 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6864 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6865 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6866 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6867 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6868 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6869 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6872 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6873 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6874 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6875 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6876 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6877 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6878 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6879 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6880 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6881 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6884 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6885 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6886 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6887 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6889 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6890 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6891 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6892 omit any duplicate addresses.
6895 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6896 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6899 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6900 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6901 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6902 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6903 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6906 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6908 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6909 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6910 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6911 Free => OPENSSL_free
6914 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6915 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6918 *) CygWin32 support.
6919 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6921 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6922 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6923 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6924 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6925 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6929 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6930 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6931 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6932 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6933 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6934 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6935 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6938 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6939 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6940 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6941 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6942 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6943 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6944 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6945 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6946 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6947 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6948 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6951 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6952 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6953 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6954 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6955 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6957 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6958 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6959 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6960 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6961 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6963 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6966 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6967 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6968 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6969 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6971 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6973 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6976 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6977 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6978 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6981 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6982 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6983 any installed hardware versions can.
6986 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6987 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6988 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6992 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6993 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6994 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6995 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6996 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6998 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6999 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7002 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7003 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7006 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7007 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7008 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7012 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7015 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7016 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7017 but no ssl client purpose.
7018 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7020 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7021 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7022 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7023 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7024 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7025 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7026 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7027 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7028 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7029 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7030 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7033 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7034 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7035 be obtained from the error queue.
7038 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7039 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7040 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7041 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7044 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7047 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7048 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7049 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7050 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7051 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7054 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7055 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7056 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7057 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7058 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7061 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7062 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7063 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7065 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7067 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7068 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7069 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7070 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7071 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7072 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7073 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7074 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7075 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7076 or "the configuration storage API"...
7078 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7080 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7081 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7083 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7085 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7087 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7088 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7089 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7090 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7091 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7092 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7093 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7095 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7096 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7099 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7100 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7101 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7102 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7105 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7106 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7107 them in a portable way.
7108 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7110 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7112 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7114 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7115 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7117 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7118 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7119 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7122 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7123 was larger than the MD block size.
7124 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7126 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7127 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7128 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7129 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7133 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7134 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7135 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7137 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7139 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7141 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7142 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7143 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7144 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7145 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7146 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7148 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7149 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7151 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7152 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7155 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7158 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7159 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7161 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7162 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7163 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7164 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7167 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7168 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7169 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7170 does not suppress any output.
7173 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7174 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7175 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7176 with all the associated security issues.
7178 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7179 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7180 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7181 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7182 use the value in the default purpose.
7185 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7186 and fix a memory leak.
7189 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7190 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7191 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7192 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7195 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7196 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7197 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7198 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7201 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7202 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7203 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7206 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7207 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7210 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7211 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7215 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7216 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7219 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7220 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7221 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7224 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7225 number generation fails.
7228 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7231 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7232 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7234 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7237 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7238 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7240 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7241 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7243 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7245 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7246 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7249 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7250 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7252 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7253 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7256 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7257 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7258 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7259 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7260 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7261 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7263 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7264 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7265 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7269 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7270 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7271 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7272 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7273 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7274 counter, some don't.)
7275 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7276 counters or duplicate objects.
7279 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7280 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7283 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7284 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7285 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7287 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7288 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7289 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7293 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7294 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7297 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7298 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7299 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7303 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7304 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7305 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7308 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7309 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7310 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7311 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7312 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7313 should work without changes.
7316 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7317 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7318 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7319 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7320 must be defined. E.g.,
7321 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7322 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7323 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7324 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7326 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7330 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7331 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7332 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7335 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7336 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7337 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7338 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7341 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7342 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7343 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7344 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7345 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7346 is prompted for as usual.
7349 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7350 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7351 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7352 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7354 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7355 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7356 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7357 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7360 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7363 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7367 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7370 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7373 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7377 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7380 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7383 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7384 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7387 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7388 options to produce them.
7391 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7392 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7395 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7399 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7400 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7401 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7402 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7403 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7404 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7405 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7408 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7411 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7412 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7413 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7416 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7417 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7419 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7420 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7423 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7424 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7425 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7429 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7430 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7432 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7433 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7434 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7435 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7436 generation becomes much faster.
7438 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7439 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7440 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7441 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7442 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7443 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7444 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7445 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7446 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7447 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7450 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7451 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7452 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7453 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7454 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7455 trial division stage.
7458 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
7462 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
7465 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
7468 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
7469 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
7470 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
7474 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
7475 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
7476 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7479 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7480 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7481 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7482 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7484 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7485 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7488 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7491 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7492 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7493 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7494 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7497 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7498 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7499 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7502 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7503 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7504 (instead of parameters) in future.
7507 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7508 when a new cipher list is set.
7511 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7512 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7515 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7516 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7517 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7519 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7520 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7521 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7522 an error is flagged.
7524 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7525 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7526 the readability was also increased :-)
7527 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7529 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7530 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7531 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7532 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7536 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7537 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7540 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7541 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7542 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7543 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7546 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7547 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7548 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7549 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7550 because they handle more complex structures.)
7553 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7554 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7555 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7556 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7558 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7559 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7560 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7561 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
7562 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
7563 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
7564 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
7567 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
7568 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
7569 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
7570 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
7571 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
7574 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
7577 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
7578 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
7579 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
7580 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7581 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7584 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7588 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7589 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7590 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7591 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7594 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7597 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7598 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7599 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7600 international characters are used.
7602 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7603 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7604 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7608 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7609 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7610 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7613 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7614 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7615 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7616 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7617 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7618 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7620 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7621 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7622 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7623 be handled by the string table functions.
7625 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7626 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7627 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7628 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7629 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7633 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7634 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7635 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7636 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7637 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7639 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7640 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7641 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7642 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7645 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7646 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7647 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7648 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7649 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7653 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7654 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7655 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7656 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7657 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7658 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7659 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7660 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7662 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7663 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7664 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7667 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7668 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7669 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7670 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7671 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7672 support to pkcs8 application.
7675 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7676 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7677 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7678 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7679 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7680 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7683 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7684 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7685 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7686 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7687 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7691 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7692 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7693 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7694 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7698 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7699 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7700 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7701 and any application specific purposes.
7703 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7704 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7705 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7706 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7707 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7708 if the certificate is self signed.
7711 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7712 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7715 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7716 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7717 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7718 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7721 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7722 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7723 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7724 Update documentation.
7727 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7728 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7729 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7730 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7731 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7734 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7736 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7738 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7739 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7740 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7741 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7742 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7743 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7744 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7745 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7746 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7747 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7749 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7751 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7752 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7753 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7754 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7755 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7757 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7758 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7759 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7760 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7761 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7762 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7763 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7764 request additional information:
7765 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7766 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7768 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7769 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7770 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7773 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7774 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7777 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7780 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7781 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7783 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7784 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7785 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7789 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7790 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7791 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7793 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7794 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7795 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7796 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7797 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7798 included in OpenSSL.
7801 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7802 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7803 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7804 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7805 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7806 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7809 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7813 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7814 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7815 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7816 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7817 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7821 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7825 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7826 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7827 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7828 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7829 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7830 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7831 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7832 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7833 be maintained manually.
7835 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7836 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7837 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7838 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7839 work because people forget to call this function]
7840 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7841 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7842 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7845 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7846 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7847 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7848 should be discouraged from doing it.
7851 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7852 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7853 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7854 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7855 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7856 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7859 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7860 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7861 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7863 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7864 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7865 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7867 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7868 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7869 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7870 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7871 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7872 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7874 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7875 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7876 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7878 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7879 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7882 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7883 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7884 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7885 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7888 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7891 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7892 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7893 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7894 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7895 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7896 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7897 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7898 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7899 keys so we should be OK.
7901 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7902 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7903 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7904 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7905 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7906 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7907 stay in the name of compatibility.
7909 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7910 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7911 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7913 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7914 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7915 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7916 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7917 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7918 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7922 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7923 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7924 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7925 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7926 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7927 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7928 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7929 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7930 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7931 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7932 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7933 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7934 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7937 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7940 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7941 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7942 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7943 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7944 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7945 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7946 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7947 openssl verify ss.pem
7948 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7949 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7953 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7954 (and add it to external session representation).
7955 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7956 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7957 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7958 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7959 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7960 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7962 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7964 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7965 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7966 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7967 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7969 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7970 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7971 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7974 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7975 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7976 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7980 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7981 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7982 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7984 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7985 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7986 certificate auxiliary information.
7989 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7993 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7994 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7995 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7996 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7997 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7998 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7999 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8002 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8003 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8006 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8007 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8008 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8009 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8012 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8015 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8016 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8019 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8020 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8021 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8022 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8023 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8024 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8025 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8026 using the new 'x509' options.
8028 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8029 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8030 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8031 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8035 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8036 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8037 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8038 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8039 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8042 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8043 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8044 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8045 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8046 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8047 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8048 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8049 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8050 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8051 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8054 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8055 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8056 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8057 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8058 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8059 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8060 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8063 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8064 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8065 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8066 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8067 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8068 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8069 openssl.cnf for more info.
8072 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8073 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8074 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8075 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8076 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8077 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8078 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8079 md should be large enough anyway.
8082 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8083 for handling the random seed file.
8085 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8087 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8090 x509 (when signing).
8091 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8092 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8093 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8095 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8096 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8097 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8098 that support '-rand'.
8101 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8102 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8105 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8106 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8109 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8110 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8111 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8112 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8116 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8117 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8118 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8119 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8122 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8123 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8124 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8125 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8126 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8127 print out all the purposes.
8130 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8134 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8135 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8136 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8137 single function call.
8140 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8141 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8144 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8145 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8146 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8149 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8150 when producing the local key id.
8151 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8153 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8154 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8155 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8159 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8160 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8161 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8162 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8165 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8166 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8167 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8168 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8170 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8171 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8172 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8173 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8175 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8176 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8177 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8178 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8179 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8180 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8181 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8182 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8183 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8184 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8185 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8186 trivial: move one line.
8187 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8189 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8190 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8191 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8192 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8193 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8194 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8195 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8196 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8197 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8198 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8199 with an event loop for example.
8202 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8203 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8204 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8205 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8206 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8207 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8208 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8209 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8210 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8213 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8214 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8215 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8216 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8217 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8218 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8221 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8222 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8223 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8224 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8226 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8227 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8228 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8229 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8233 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8234 (still largely untested)
8237 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8238 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8241 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8242 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8245 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8246 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8247 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8250 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8251 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8252 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8253 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8254 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8257 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8260 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8261 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8262 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8263 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8264 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8268 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8269 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8272 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8275 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8276 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8277 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8278 are otherwise ignored at present.
8281 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8282 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8283 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8284 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8285 copied until the next read.
8288 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8289 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8290 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8293 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8294 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8295 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8296 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8297 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8298 associated functions.
8301 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8302 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8303 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8304 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8305 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8306 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8307 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8308 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8309 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8313 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8314 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8315 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8316 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8319 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8320 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8321 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8322 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8323 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8327 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8328 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8332 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8333 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8334 extensions to be obtained and added.
8337 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8338 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8341 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8343 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8344 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8346 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8347 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8349 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8353 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8354 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8355 DH parameters contain its length).
8357 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8358 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8359 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8360 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8361 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8362 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8363 utter importance to use
8364 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8366 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8367 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8368 attacks may become possible!
8371 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8374 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8375 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8378 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8379 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8380 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8384 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8385 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8386 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8387 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8388 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8389 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8390 private key operations.
8393 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8396 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8397 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8399 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8400 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8401 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8402 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8403 the password callback is called.
8404 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8406 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8408 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8409 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8410 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8411 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8412 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8413 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8416 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8417 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8418 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8419 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8420 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8421 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8424 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8427 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8428 delete an unused file.
8431 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8432 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8433 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8434 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8437 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8438 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8439 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8443 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8444 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8445 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8447 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8448 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8449 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8450 comparison" warnings.
8451 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8454 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8455 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8456 derived keys are printed to stderr.
8459 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
8460 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
8462 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
8463 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
8465 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
8466 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
8467 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
8469 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
8470 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
8471 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
8472 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
8473 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
8475 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
8477 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8478 The interface is as follows:
8479 Applications can use
8480 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8481 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8482 "off" is now the default.
8483 The library internally uses
8484 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8485 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8486 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8488 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8489 even the default) are now avoided.
8491 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8492 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8493 than just having a counter.
8495 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8497 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8501 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8502 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8503 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8504 Initial "mode" flags are:
8506 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8507 a single record has been written.
8508 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8509 retries use the same buffer location.
8510 (But all of the contents must be
8514 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8517 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8518 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8520 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8521 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8522 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8525 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8526 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8528 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8530 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8531 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8532 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8533 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8535 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8536 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8538 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8539 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8540 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8541 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8542 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8543 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8546 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8547 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8548 necessary function names.
8551 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8552 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8553 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8554 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8557 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8558 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8559 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
8562 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
8563 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
8564 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
8565 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
8567 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
8571 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
8572 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
8573 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
8576 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
8577 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8581 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8582 for the encoded length.
8583 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8585 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8588 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8589 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8590 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8591 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8594 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8595 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8596 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8598 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8599 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8600 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8604 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8605 to use the new extension code.
8608 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8609 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8610 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8614 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8615 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8616 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8620 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8623 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8624 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8625 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8628 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8629 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8630 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8631 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8634 *) DES library cleanups.
8637 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8638 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8639 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8640 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8641 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8645 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8646 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8649 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8650 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8651 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8652 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8653 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8654 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8655 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8656 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8657 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8660 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8661 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8662 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8663 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8664 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8665 value doesn't matter.
8668 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8672 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8673 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8674 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8675 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8677 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8680 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8681 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8682 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8684 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8685 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8687 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8690 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8693 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8696 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8700 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8702 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8704 *) Updated some demos.
8705 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8707 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8710 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8713 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8716 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8717 instead of using a fixed path.
8720 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8723 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8727 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8729 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8730 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8731 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8733 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8734 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8735 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8736 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8737 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8738 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8739 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8740 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8741 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8742 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8745 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8746 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8749 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8750 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8751 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8752 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8753 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8755 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8758 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8759 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8760 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8763 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8766 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8767 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8768 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8769 key elements as negative integers.
8772 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8773 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8776 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8778 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8779 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8780 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8783 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8784 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8785 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8786 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8787 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8790 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8793 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8794 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8795 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8796 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8798 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8799 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8800 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8802 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8803 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8804 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8805 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8806 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8807 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8808 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8809 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8810 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8812 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8813 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8814 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8815 does not influence s as it used to.
8817 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8818 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8819 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8820 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8821 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8822 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8825 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8826 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8827 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8831 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8832 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8833 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8837 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8838 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8839 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8843 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8844 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8847 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8848 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8853 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8854 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8856 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8857 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8859 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8862 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8865 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8866 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8868 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8869 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8870 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8874 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8875 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8876 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8877 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8878 now it really counts the depth.
8881 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8882 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8883 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8884 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8885 didn't match the private key).
8887 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8888 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8889 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8892 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8895 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8899 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8900 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8901 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8904 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8907 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8908 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8909 such as /usr/local/bin.
8912 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8913 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8915 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8918 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8919 extension adding in x509 utility.
8922 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8925 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8929 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8932 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8933 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8934 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8935 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8936 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8937 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8938 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8939 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8940 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8941 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8944 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8947 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8948 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8951 *) Fix some race conditions.
8954 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8955 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8958 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8961 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8962 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8963 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8964 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8966 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8967 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8969 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8970 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8971 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8973 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8974 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8976 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8979 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8980 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8982 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8985 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8986 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8988 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8989 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8992 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8993 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8996 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8997 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9000 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9001 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9004 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9005 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9008 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9009 support typesafe stack.
9012 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9013 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9015 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9016 old X509V3 handling code.
9019 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9022 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9025 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9028 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9029 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9031 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9032 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9033 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9034 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9035 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9038 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9039 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9040 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9041 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9042 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9044 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9045 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9046 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9047 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9049 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9050 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9051 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9052 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9054 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9055 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9056 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9057 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9058 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9059 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9062 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9063 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9066 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9067 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9070 *) Tweaks to Configure
9071 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9073 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9077 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9080 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9081 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9084 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9085 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9086 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9089 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9092 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9093 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9096 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9097 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9098 to library startup routines.
9101 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9102 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9103 codes along the way.
9106 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9107 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9108 objects to objects.h
9111 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9112 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9115 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9116 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9118 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9119 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9120 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9122 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9123 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9124 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9126 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9127 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9128 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9131 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9133 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9134 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9137 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9138 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9139 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9140 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9141 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9143 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9144 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9145 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9147 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9149 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9151 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9153 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9154 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9156 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9157 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9158 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9159 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9161 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9164 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9165 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9166 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9167 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9170 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9171 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9172 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9175 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9176 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9177 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9178 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9179 installed as `perl').
9180 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9182 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9183 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9185 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9186 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9187 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9188 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9189 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9192 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9195 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9196 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9197 is horrible: I feel ill....
9200 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9201 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9202 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9203 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9206 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9207 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9209 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9210 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9211 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9212 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9214 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9215 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9216 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9217 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9218 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9219 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9221 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9223 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9224 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9226 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9227 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9229 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9232 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9233 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9237 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9238 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9239 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9240 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9241 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9242 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9243 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9244 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9245 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9246 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9247 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9249 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9252 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9253 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9254 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9255 for linking it into DSOs.
9256 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9258 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9262 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9263 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9264 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9265 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9266 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9267 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9269 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9270 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9271 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9272 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9273 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9274 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9275 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9277 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9278 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9279 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9283 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9284 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9285 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9286 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9289 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9290 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9291 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9292 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9293 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9297 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9298 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9299 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9300 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9301 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9303 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9304 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9305 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9307 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9308 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9310 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9311 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9312 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9313 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9314 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9317 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9318 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9319 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9320 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9321 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9322 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9323 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9326 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9328 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9329 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9332 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9333 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9335 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9336 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9339 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9340 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9341 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9342 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9343 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9345 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9346 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9347 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9348 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9349 no way to reconfigure them.
9350 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9351 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9352 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9353 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9354 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9355 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9357 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9358 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9359 recognized by the users.
9360 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9362 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9363 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9364 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9365 already masked variable.
9366 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9368 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9369 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9371 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9372 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9373 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9374 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9376 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9377 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9378 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9380 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9381 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9382 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9383 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9384 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9385 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9386 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9387 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9389 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9391 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9392 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9393 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9395 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9396 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9400 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9401 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9403 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9404 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9405 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9406 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9409 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9412 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9413 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9415 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9418 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9419 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9422 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9423 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9426 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9427 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9428 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9429 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9430 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9431 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9432 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9435 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9436 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9438 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9439 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9440 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9441 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9442 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9444 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9445 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9446 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9449 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9450 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9454 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9455 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9456 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9458 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
9459 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
9460 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
9464 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
9465 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
9466 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
9467 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
9470 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
9471 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
9472 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
9473 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
9476 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
9477 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9478 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9479 so it wasn't spotted.
9480 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9482 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9483 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9484 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9485 vectors if you have them.
9488 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9489 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9492 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9493 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9494 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9495 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9497 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9498 it will update them.
9501 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9502 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9503 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9504 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9505 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9506 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9507 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9508 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9510 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9511 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9512 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9513 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9514 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9515 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9516 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9517 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9518 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9519 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9521 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9522 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9523 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9524 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9525 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9528 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9532 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9533 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9535 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9536 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9538 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9539 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9542 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9543 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9545 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9546 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9548 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9551 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9555 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9556 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9557 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9558 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9560 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9563 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9566 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
9569 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
9570 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
9573 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
9574 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
9578 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
9579 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9582 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9583 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9584 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9587 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9588 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9589 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9590 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9591 properly to be processed.
9594 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9595 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9596 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9599 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9600 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9602 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9603 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9604 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9605 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9606 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9607 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9608 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9609 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9610 or delete all the .err files.
9613 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9614 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9615 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9616 to regenerate it if needed.
9617 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9618 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9620 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9621 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9623 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9624 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9625 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9626 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9627 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9630 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9631 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9633 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9634 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9636 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9637 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9638 error, but didn't set one).
9639 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9641 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9644 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9645 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9648 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9649 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9651 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9652 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9653 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9654 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9655 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9656 OID is not part of the table.
9659 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9660 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9663 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9666 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9667 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9671 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9672 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9674 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9676 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9678 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9679 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9681 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9682 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9684 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9685 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9687 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9688 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9691 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9692 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9695 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9696 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9698 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9699 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9701 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9702 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9704 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9705 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9707 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9708 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9709 unused in the certificate verification process.
9710 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9712 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9713 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9716 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9717 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9718 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9720 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9721 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9722 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9723 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9724 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9726 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9727 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9730 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9733 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9736 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9737 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9739 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9742 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9745 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9748 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9749 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9750 other error libraries.
9753 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9756 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9757 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9761 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9762 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9763 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9764 the new set of documenation files.
9765 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9767 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9768 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9769 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9770 number of arguments.
9771 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9773 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9776 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9777 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9778 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9780 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9783 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9787 unixware-2.0-pentium
9791 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9792 before they are needed.
9795 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9799 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9801 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9802 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9803 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9805 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9808 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9809 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9810 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9812 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9813 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9814 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9816 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9817 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9818 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9820 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9821 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9823 *) Updated the README file.
9824 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9826 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9827 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9828 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9830 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9831 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9832 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9834 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9835 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9836 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9837 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9838 o removed obsolete TODO file
9839 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9840 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9842 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9843 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9844 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

9847 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9848 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9850 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9853 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9854 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9855 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9857 [The OpenSSL Project]
9860 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9862 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9865 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9868 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9869 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9872 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9873 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9877 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9879 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9881 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9884 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9887 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9890 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9893 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9896 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9899 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9902 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9905 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9908 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9911 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9914 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9917 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9920 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9923 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9926 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9929 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9932 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9933 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9934 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9937 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9938 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
9941 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
9944 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
9947 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
9948 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
9951 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
9954 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
9957 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
9958 bytes sent in the client random.
