5 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
8 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
11 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
12 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
13 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
16 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
17 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
18 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
19 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
20 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
21 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
24 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
25 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
26 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
29 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
30 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
31 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
32 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
33 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
34 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
38 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
39 change when encrypting or decrypting.
42 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
43 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
44 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
47 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
50 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
51 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
52 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
53 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
54 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
55 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
56 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
57 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
58 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
61 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
62 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
63 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
66 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
67 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
70 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
71 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
72 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
73 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
74 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
75 know what you are doing.
76 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
78 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
79 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
80 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
81 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
82 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
83 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
87 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
88 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
89 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
91 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
93 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
94 warnings in other configurations.
97 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
98 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
99 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
101 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
103 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
104 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
105 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
107 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
108 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
109 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
110 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
113 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
117 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
118 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
120 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
122 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
123 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
124 other than a simple chain.
125 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
127 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
128 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
129 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
130 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
133 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
134 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
135 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
136 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
137 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
138 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
139 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
140 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
141 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
143 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
144 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
145 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
146 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
147 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
148 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
150 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
152 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
153 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
156 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
157 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
160 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
162 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
164 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
165 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
166 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
167 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
168 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
172 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
174 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
175 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
176 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
177 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
179 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
180 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
181 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
182 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
184 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
185 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
186 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
189 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
190 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
194 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
195 to handle some structures.
198 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
200 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
202 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
205 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
208 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
211 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
212 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
216 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
218 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
220 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
222 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
225 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
226 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
227 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
228 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
230 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
231 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
233 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
234 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
237 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
238 s_client and s_server.
241 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
242 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
244 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
245 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
247 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
248 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
249 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
250 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
251 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
254 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
256 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
257 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
260 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
261 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
264 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
265 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
266 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
267 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
269 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
270 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
272 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
274 *) Various precautionary measures:
276 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
278 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
279 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
280 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
282 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
283 outside the expected range.
285 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
288 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
290 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
291 the load fails. Useful for distros.
292 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
294 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
297 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
300 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
302 This work was sponsored by Logica.
305 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
306 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
307 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
309 This work was sponsored by Logica.
312 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
313 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
314 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
318 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
320 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
321 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
322 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
323 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
325 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
326 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
329 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
331 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
332 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
333 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
335 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
337 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
338 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
339 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
340 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
343 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
344 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
345 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
346 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
347 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
348 invalid read after the end of 'db').
349 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
351 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
353 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
354 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
355 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
356 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
357 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
359 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
360 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
362 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
363 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
364 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
365 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
366 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
368 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
370 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
371 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
372 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
373 sets may exist with different names.
376 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
377 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
378 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
379 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
380 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
381 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
382 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
383 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
384 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
386 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
388 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
389 implemention in the following ways:
391 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
394 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
395 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
396 ignored for embedded content.
398 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
399 with the enable-cms configuration option.
402 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
403 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
404 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
405 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
407 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
408 uncompresses any data passed through it.
411 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
412 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
415 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
416 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
417 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
418 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
419 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
420 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
424 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
425 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
426 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
430 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
431 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
432 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
433 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
434 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
435 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
436 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
437 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
439 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
440 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
441 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
442 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
443 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
444 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
445 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
447 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
448 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
449 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
450 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
451 to s_client and s_server.
454 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
457 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
458 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
459 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
460 + Fix ia64 assembler code
461 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
463 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
465 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
466 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
467 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
468 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
469 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
470 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
471 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
472 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
475 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
476 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
477 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
480 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
481 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
482 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
485 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
486 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
489 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
490 protection in servers so again support should be possible
491 with no application modification.
493 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
494 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
496 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
497 or server extensions to be examined.
499 This work was sponsored by Google.
502 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
503 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
504 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
505 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
506 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
507 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
508 server_name extension.
510 New functions (subject to change):
513 SSL_get_servername_type()
516 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
518 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
519 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
520 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
521 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
522 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
524 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
526 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
527 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
528 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
529 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
530 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
531 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
534 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
536 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
539 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
542 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
543 (which previously caused an internal error).
546 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
549 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
550 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
552 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
553 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
554 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
556 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
557 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
558 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
559 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
561 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
562 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
563 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
566 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
567 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
568 information. For detailed background information, see
569 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
570 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
571 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
572 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
573 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
574 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
575 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
576 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
577 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
578 remove a conditional branch.
580 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
581 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
582 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
583 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
584 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
585 remains as a deprecated alias.
587 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
588 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
589 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
590 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
592 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
593 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
594 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
595 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
596 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
597 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
598 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
599 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
601 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
603 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
604 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
605 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
606 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
607 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
608 with applications using a single external cache for quite
609 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
610 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
611 in a different context.
614 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
615 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
616 authentication-only ciphersuites.
619 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
620 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
621 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
623 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
625 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
626 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
627 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
628 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
629 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
632 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
633 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
634 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
635 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
636 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
637 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
640 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
641 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
642 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
643 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
644 message has informed the client about his choice.)
647 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
648 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
650 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
651 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
652 Improve header file function name parsing.
655 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
656 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
659 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
661 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
662 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
663 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
665 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
666 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
668 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
669 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
671 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
672 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
673 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
675 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
676 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
677 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
678 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
679 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
680 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
681 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
682 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
683 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
685 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
686 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
687 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
688 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
689 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
691 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
692 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
693 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
694 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
695 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
696 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
697 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
698 multiple values to extend the available space.
702 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
704 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
705 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
707 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
710 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
711 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
712 undesirable limitations.
713 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
715 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
716 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
717 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
718 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
719 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
720 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
721 to avoid potential handshake problems.
724 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
726 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
727 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
728 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
730 The latter two were purportedly from
731 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
734 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
735 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
736 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
739 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
740 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
743 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
744 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
745 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
746 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
748 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
749 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
750 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
753 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
754 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
755 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
756 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
757 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
758 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
761 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
763 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
764 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
767 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
768 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
770 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
771 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
772 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
773 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
776 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
777 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
780 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
781 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
782 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
783 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
784 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
785 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
786 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
790 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
791 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
792 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
793 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
796 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
797 under VC++ build system.
800 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
801 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
804 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
806 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
807 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
808 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
809 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
810 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
812 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
813 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
814 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
816 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
819 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
820 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
823 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
824 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
826 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
829 *) Extended Windows CE support.
830 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
832 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
833 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
836 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
837 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
841 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
843 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
846 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
849 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
850 key into the same file any more.
853 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
856 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
857 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
859 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
860 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
863 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
864 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
865 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
866 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
867 this only applies when building 'shared'.
868 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
870 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
871 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
872 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
875 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
876 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
877 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
878 - add new function for parameter creation
879 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
880 BN_BLINDING parameters
881 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
882 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
883 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
887 *) Add support for DTLS.
888 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
890 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
891 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
894 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
895 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
898 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
899 the apps/openssl applications.
902 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
903 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
904 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
907 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
908 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
910 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
911 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
913 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
914 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
915 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
916 avoid this algorithm.)
920 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
921 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
922 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
925 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
926 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
929 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
930 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
931 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
934 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
936 The blank line is mandatory.
940 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
941 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
945 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
946 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
948 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
949 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
950 to support policy checking and print out.
953 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
954 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
955 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
956 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
958 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
961 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
962 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
964 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
965 implementation contributed by IBM.
966 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
968 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
969 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
970 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
971 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
973 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
974 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
976 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
977 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
978 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
979 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
980 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
981 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
984 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
985 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
986 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
987 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
988 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
989 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
990 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
993 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
996 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
997 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
998 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
999 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1000 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1001 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1002 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1003 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1006 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1007 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1008 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1009 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1012 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1015 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1018 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1019 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1020 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1021 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1022 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1023 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1024 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1027 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1028 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1031 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1032 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1033 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1036 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1037 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1038 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1042 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1043 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1046 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1047 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1048 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1049 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1052 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1053 initialised value as BN_new().
1054 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1056 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1059 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1060 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1061 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1062 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1063 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1064 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1065 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1066 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1067 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1068 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1069 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1070 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1071 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1072 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1073 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1075 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1076 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1077 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1078 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1081 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1082 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1083 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1084 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1085 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1086 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1087 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1088 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1089 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1092 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1093 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1094 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1095 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1096 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1097 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1098 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1101 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1102 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1103 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1104 these have been updated also.
1107 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1108 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1109 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1110 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1111 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1115 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1116 structure of type "other".
1119 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1120 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1121 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1122 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1123 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1124 situation in the script.
1125 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1127 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1128 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1129 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1130 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1131 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1132 used as premaster secret.
1133 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1135 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1136 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1137 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1139 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1140 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1142 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1143 control of the error stack.
1146 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1149 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1150 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1151 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1152 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1155 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1156 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1157 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1160 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1161 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1162 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1166 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1167 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1168 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1169 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1172 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1173 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1174 the following flags are defined:
1176 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1177 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1178 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1181 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1182 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1183 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1184 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1188 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1189 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1190 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1191 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1192 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1195 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1196 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1197 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1200 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1201 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1202 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1203 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1204 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1205 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1208 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1212 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1215 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1218 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1221 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1222 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1223 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1224 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1225 default implementation more easily.
1228 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1232 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1233 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1236 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1237 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1238 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1239 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1241 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1242 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1243 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1244 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1247 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1248 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1252 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1253 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1254 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1255 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1256 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1257 scalar * generator).
1258 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1260 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1261 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1262 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1266 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1267 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1268 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1269 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1270 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1271 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1272 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1273 linker additions, eg;
1274 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1277 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1278 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1279 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1282 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1283 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1284 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1288 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1289 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1290 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1291 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1294 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1295 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1296 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1297 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1298 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1299 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1300 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1301 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1302 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1303 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1305 Example for using the new callback interface:
1307 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1311 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1313 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1314 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1315 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1316 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1317 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1318 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1323 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1324 available to TLS with the number defined in
1325 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1328 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1329 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1331 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1332 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1333 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1334 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1336 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1337 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1339 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1340 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1344 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1345 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1348 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1349 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1350 and a macro that behave like
1351 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1353 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1356 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1357 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1358 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1360 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1362 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1365 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1366 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1367 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1368 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1370 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1371 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1372 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1373 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1374 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1375 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1376 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1377 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1379 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1380 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1383 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1384 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1386 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1387 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1388 files while avoiding the low level API.
1390 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1391 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1392 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1393 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1395 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1396 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1397 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1398 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1399 instead of the low level API.
1402 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1403 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1404 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1405 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1406 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1409 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1410 down to the template encoder.
1413 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1414 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1417 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1418 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1419 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1420 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1422 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1423 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1425 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1426 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1428 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1429 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1432 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1433 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1434 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1437 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1438 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1440 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1441 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1443 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1444 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1447 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1451 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1452 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1453 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1454 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1455 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1456 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1458 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1459 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1462 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1463 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1464 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1465 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1466 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1467 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1468 various internal method names.)
1470 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1471 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1473 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1474 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1476 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1477 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1479 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1480 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1481 methods are undefined.
1483 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1484 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1486 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1487 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1488 length of the modulus.
1490 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1491 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1493 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1494 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1496 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1497 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1499 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1500 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1501 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1504 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1505 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1506 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1507 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1509 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1510 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1511 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1512 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1514 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1515 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1517 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1518 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1519 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1520 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1521 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1523 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1524 This applies to the following functions:
1529 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1530 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1532 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1533 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1537 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1542 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1544 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1545 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1546 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1547 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1548 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1550 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1551 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1553 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1554 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1555 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1557 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1558 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1560 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1561 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1562 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1563 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1564 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1566 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1568 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1569 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1570 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1571 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1572 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1573 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1574 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1575 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1576 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1577 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1578 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1579 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1581 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1584 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1585 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1586 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1587 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1589 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1590 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1591 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1592 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1597 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1598 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1599 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1600 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1601 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1603 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1604 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1605 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1606 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1607 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1608 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1609 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1610 adding different types of curves.
1611 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1613 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1614 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1615 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1618 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1619 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1621 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1622 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1623 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1624 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1626 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1628 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1629 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1631 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1632 library. Most notably,
1633 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1634 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1635 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1636 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1637 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1638 extracted before the specific public key;
1639 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1640 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1642 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1643 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1645 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1646 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1647 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1648 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1650 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1651 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1652 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1654 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1655 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1656 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1657 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1658 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1659 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1663 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1665 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1667 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1669 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1670 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1671 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1674 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1675 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1676 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1679 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1682 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1683 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1686 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1687 run algorithm test programs.
1690 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1693 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1694 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1695 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1696 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1697 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1700 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1701 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1704 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1706 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1707 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1708 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1710 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1711 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1713 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1714 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1716 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1717 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1718 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1720 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1721 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1722 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1723 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1724 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1725 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1726 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1729 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1731 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1732 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1734 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1735 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1736 undesirable limitations.
1737 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1739 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1741 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1742 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1743 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1745 The latter two were purportedly from
1746 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1749 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1750 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1751 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1754 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1755 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1758 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1760 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1761 module in FIPS mode.
1764 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1767 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1768 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1769 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1770 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1773 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1775 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1776 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1777 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1778 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1779 the difference induced by this change.
1782 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1784 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1785 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1786 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1787 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1788 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1790 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1791 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1792 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1794 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1795 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1798 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1799 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1800 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1801 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1805 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1806 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1807 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1808 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1809 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1811 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1812 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1813 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1814 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1815 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1816 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1818 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1820 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1821 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1822 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1823 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1824 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1827 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1831 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1832 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1833 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1836 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1837 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1838 structures constant.
1841 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1843 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1846 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1847 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1848 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1849 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1850 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1851 some needed definitions.
1854 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1857 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1858 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1859 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1860 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1863 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1865 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1866 server and client random values. Previously
1867 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1868 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1870 This change has negligible security impact because:
1872 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1875 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1878 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1879 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1882 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1885 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1887 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1890 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1891 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1892 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1894 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1897 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1898 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1901 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1902 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1903 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1905 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1908 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1909 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1910 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1914 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1915 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1916 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1917 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1919 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1920 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1921 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1922 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1926 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1928 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1929 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1930 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1931 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1932 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1935 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1938 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1939 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1941 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1942 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1943 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1944 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1945 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1946 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1947 rather than being initialized to 1.
1950 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1952 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1953 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1954 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1956 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1958 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1960 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1961 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1962 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1963 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1964 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1965 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1968 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1969 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1970 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1971 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1972 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1976 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1977 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1978 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1979 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1980 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1983 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1984 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1985 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1989 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1990 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1992 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1995 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1997 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1999 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2000 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2002 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2004 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2005 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2009 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2010 exiting on the first error in a request.
2013 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2014 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2018 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2019 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2020 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2021 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2023 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2024 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2027 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2028 blocks during encryption.
2031 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2032 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2033 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2034 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2038 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2039 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2040 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2041 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2042 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2046 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2048 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2049 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2050 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2051 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2054 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2055 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2056 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2057 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2058 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2060 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2061 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2062 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2063 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2064 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2065 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2066 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2067 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2068 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2071 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2072 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2073 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2074 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2077 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2078 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2081 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2083 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2084 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2085 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2086 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2087 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2089 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2090 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2091 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2093 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2094 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2095 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2096 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2097 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2099 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2100 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2101 used by default when no-err is given.
2104 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2105 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2107 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2108 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2109 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2110 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2111 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2113 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2114 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2115 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2116 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2118 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2120 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2122 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2124 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2125 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2126 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2127 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2131 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2132 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2134 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2135 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2138 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2139 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2140 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2141 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2144 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2145 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2146 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2147 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2148 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2149 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2150 followup to PR #377.
2153 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2154 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2157 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2158 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2159 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2160 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2162 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2164 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2167 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2168 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2169 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2170 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2172 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2176 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2177 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2181 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2182 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2183 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2184 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2185 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2186 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2188 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2189 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2190 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2191 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2192 have to be made anyway).
2195 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2196 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2197 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2200 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2201 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2202 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2205 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2206 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2207 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2209 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2210 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2211 edit numbers of the version.
2212 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2214 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2215 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2216 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2218 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2219 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2221 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2222 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2223 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2225 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2226 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2228 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2229 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2231 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2232 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2234 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2235 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2237 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2239 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2241 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2242 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2243 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2245 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2246 representations in a platform independent manner.
2247 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2249 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2250 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2251 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2253 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2255 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2257 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2258 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2260 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2262 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2264 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2265 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2266 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2268 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2270 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2272 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2273 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2275 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2276 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2278 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2279 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2281 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2282 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2284 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2286 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2288 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2289 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2291 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2292 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2294 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2295 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2297 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2299 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2300 the 0.9.6 release series:
2302 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2303 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2305 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2307 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2310 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2311 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2313 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2314 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2316 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2317 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2318 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2319 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2321 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2322 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2323 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2325 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2326 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2327 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2328 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2330 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2331 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2332 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2335 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2336 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2337 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2338 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2339 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2340 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2341 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2342 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2345 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2346 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2347 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2350 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2351 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2352 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2353 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2354 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2356 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2357 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2359 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2360 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2363 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2364 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2365 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2366 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2367 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2368 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2371 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2372 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2373 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2376 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2377 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2380 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2381 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2382 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2383 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2384 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2385 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2386 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2389 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2390 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2391 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2392 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2393 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2394 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2397 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2398 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2399 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2400 declaration has been changed from
2403 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2404 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2405 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2406 has been changed into
2407 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2409 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2410 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2411 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2413 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2414 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2416 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2417 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2418 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2419 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2420 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2421 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2422 always load it have also been added.
2425 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2426 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2427 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2429 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2431 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2432 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2433 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2435 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2436 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2437 command line option can be used to specify an
2441 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2442 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2445 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2446 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2447 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2450 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2451 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2452 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2453 to work with the new engine framework.
2454 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2456 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2457 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2458 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2459 to work with the new engine framework.
2462 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2463 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2464 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2466 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2467 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2469 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2470 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2471 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2472 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2474 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2476 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2477 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2479 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2480 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2482 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2483 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2484 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2487 *) Add new functions
2489 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2490 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2491 These are similar to
2494 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2495 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2496 still in the error queue.
2497 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2499 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2501 default_algorithms = ALL
2502 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2505 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2508 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2511 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2512 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2513 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2514 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2516 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2517 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2519 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2520 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2522 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2523 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2526 *) New functions/macros
2528 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2529 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2530 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2531 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2533 to request calling a callback function
2535 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2536 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2538 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2539 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2540 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2541 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2542 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2543 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2544 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2545 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2546 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2547 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2549 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2550 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2553 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2554 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2555 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2556 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2557 the configuration scripts.
2559 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2560 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2561 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2563 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2564 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2566 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2567 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2568 when reusing an existing buffer.
2571 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2572 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2575 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2576 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2579 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2580 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2581 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2582 has the same effect.
2583 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2585 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2586 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2587 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2588 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2589 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2590 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2593 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2594 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2595 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2596 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2598 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2599 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2600 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2601 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2603 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2604 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2607 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2608 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2609 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2610 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2611 default), and then completely removed.
2614 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2615 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2616 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2617 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2618 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2619 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2620 particular extension is supported.
2623 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2624 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2627 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2628 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2629 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2630 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2631 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2632 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2633 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2634 requires the destination to be valid.
2636 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2637 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2640 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2641 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2642 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2645 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2646 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2648 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2649 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2650 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2651 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2652 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2653 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2654 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2655 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2656 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2657 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2658 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2659 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2660 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2661 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2662 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2663 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2664 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2665 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2666 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2670 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2673 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2674 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2675 become part of libeay.num as well.
2678 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2679 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2680 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2681 false once a handshake has been completed.
2682 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2683 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2684 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2685 client has followed the request.)
2688 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2689 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2690 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2691 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2693 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2694 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2695 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2698 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2701 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2702 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2703 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2706 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2707 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2710 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2711 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2712 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2713 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2716 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2717 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2718 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2719 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2720 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2721 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2724 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2725 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2726 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2727 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2728 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2729 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2730 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2731 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2734 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2735 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2738 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2741 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2742 md_data void pointer.
2745 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2746 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2747 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2748 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2749 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2750 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2753 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2754 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2755 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2756 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2757 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2758 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2759 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2760 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2761 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2762 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2763 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2764 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2765 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2766 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2767 rather than letting it slide.
2769 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2770 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2771 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2774 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2775 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2776 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2777 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2778 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2779 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2780 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2781 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2782 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2785 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2786 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2787 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2788 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2789 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2791 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2794 *) Add EVP test program.
2797 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2800 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2801 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2802 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2803 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2804 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2807 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2808 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2809 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2810 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2811 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2812 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2813 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2815 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2816 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2817 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2822 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2823 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2824 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2825 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2826 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2830 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2831 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2832 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2833 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2836 des_key_schedule ks;
2838 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2839 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2841 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2844 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2845 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2846 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2847 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2848 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2849 functions prevents this.
2852 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2855 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2856 correct _ecb suffix.
2859 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2860 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2861 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2862 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2863 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2866 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2869 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2870 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2871 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2872 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2874 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2875 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2877 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2878 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2879 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2880 via Richard Levitte]
2882 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2883 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2884 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2885 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2888 *) Speed up EVP routines.

2906 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2907 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2909 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2910 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2911 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2912 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2913 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2914 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2917 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2918 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2921 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2922 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2923 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2924 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2926 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2927 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2928 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2929 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2930 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2931 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2935 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2936 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2937 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2938 and interrupts/cancellations.
2941 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2942 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2945 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2946 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2947 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2949 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2950 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2954 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2955 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2956 than this minimum value is recommended.
2959 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2960 that are easily reachable.
2963 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2964 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2966 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2968 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2969 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2970 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2971 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2974 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2975 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2976 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2979 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2980 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2981 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2982 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2983 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2984 internally such as S/MIME.
2986 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2987 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2988 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2990 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2994 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2995 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2996 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2997 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2999 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3001 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3003 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3004 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3005 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3009 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3010 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3011 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3012 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3013 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3014 a window system and the like.
3017 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3018 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3021 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3022 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3023 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3024 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3025 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3026 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3027 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3028 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3029 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3033 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3034 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3038 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3039 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3040 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3041 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3042 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3043 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3044 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3045 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3048 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3049 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3050 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3051 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3052 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3053 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3054 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3055 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3056 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3057 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3058 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3059 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3060 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3061 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3062 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3063 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3064 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3067 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3068 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3069 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3070 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3071 internal engine_int.h header.
3074 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3075 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3076 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3077 modify their own ones).
3080 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3081 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3082 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3083 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3084 later on via ctrl() commands.
3085 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3086 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3087 structural references.
3088 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3089 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3090 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3091 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3092 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3093 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3094 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3095 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3096 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3097 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3098 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3099 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3102 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3103 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3104 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3105 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3106 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3107 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3108 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3109 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3112 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3113 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3116 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3117 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3120 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3121 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3122 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3123 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3124 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3125 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3126 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3129 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3130 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3131 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3132 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3133 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3135 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3136 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3140 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3142 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3143 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3144 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3146 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3147 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3149 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3150 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3151 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3153 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3154 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3156 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3157 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3159 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3161 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3162 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3163 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3166 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3167 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3170 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3171 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3172 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3173 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3174 is 40 of more characters long.
3177 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3178 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3182 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3183 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3186 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3187 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3191 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3193 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3194 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3197 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3199 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3200 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3201 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3203 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3204 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3206 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3209 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3213 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3214 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3215 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3216 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3218 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3220 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3221 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3223 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3224 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3225 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3226 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3227 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3228 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3230 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3231 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3233 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3234 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3236 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3237 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3239 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3240 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3241 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3242 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3244 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3245 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3247 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3248 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3250 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3251 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3252 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3253 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3254 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3257 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3258 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3259 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3260 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3263 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3264 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3265 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3269 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3270 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3271 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3272 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3273 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3274 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3275 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3276 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3280 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3281 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3284 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3285 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3286 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3287 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3290 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3291 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3292 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3293 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3294 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3295 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3296 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3297 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3298 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3299 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3302 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3303 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3304 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3305 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3306 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3307 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3308 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3309 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3311 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3312 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3313 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3314 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3317 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3318 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3319 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3320 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3322 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3323 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3324 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3325 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3326 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3330 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3331 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3332 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3333 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3337 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3338 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3339 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3342 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3343 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3344 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3345 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3346 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3349 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3352 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3353 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3354 option to ocsp utility.
3357 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3358 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3359 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3360 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3361 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3362 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3363 the request is nonce-less.
3366 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3367 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3368 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3371 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3372 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3373 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3376 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3377 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3378 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3379 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3380 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3383 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3384 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3388 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3389 additional certificates supplied.
3392 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3393 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3397 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3398 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3401 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3402 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3403 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3404 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3405 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3406 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3407 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3408 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3409 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3411 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3412 request to response.
3415 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3416 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3417 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3418 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3419 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3420 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3421 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3422 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3423 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3424 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3425 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3428 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3429 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3430 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3431 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3434 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3435 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3437 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3438 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3439 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3442 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3443 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3444 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3445 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3446 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3448 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3449 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3450 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3453 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3454 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3455 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3456 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3457 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3458 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3459 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3460 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3462 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3463 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3464 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3465 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3466 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3467 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3470 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3471 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3472 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3473 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3474 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3475 printout format cleaned up.
3478 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3479 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3480 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3481 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3482 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3483 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3484 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3485 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3488 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3489 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3490 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3491 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3492 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3493 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3494 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3495 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3498 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3499 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3500 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3501 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3503 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3505 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3506 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3507 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3508 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3511 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3512 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3513 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3514 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3516 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3518 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3519 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3520 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3521 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3523 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3524 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3526 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3527 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3528 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3531 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3532 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3533 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3536 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3537 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3538 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3539 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3540 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3541 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3542 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3543 functions are provided:
3545 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3546 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3547 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3548 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3550 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3551 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3552 extended allocation function is enabled.
3553 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3554 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3555 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3557 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3558 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3559 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3560 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3561 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3564 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3565 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3566 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3568 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3569 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3570 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3573 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3574 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3575 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3576 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3577 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3578 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3579 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3580 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3581 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3584 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3585 provide utility functions which an application needing
3586 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3587 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3588 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3590 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3591 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3592 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3593 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3594 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3595 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3596 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3597 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3598 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3600 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3601 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3602 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3603 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3606 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3607 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3608 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3609 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3610 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3611 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3612 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3613 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3614 will be added elsewhere.
3617 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3618 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3619 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3620 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3623 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3624 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3625 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3626 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3627 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3628 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3629 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3630 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3631 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3632 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3633 to produce the required SET OF.
3636 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3637 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3638 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3641 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3642 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3643 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3644 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3645 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3646 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3649 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3650 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3651 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3654 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3655 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3656 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3659 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3660 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3661 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3662 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3663 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3666 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3667 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3670 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3671 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3672 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3673 certifcates and CRLs.
3676 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3677 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3678 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3681 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3682 entries for variables.
3685 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3686 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3687 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3688 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3691 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3692 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3693 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3694 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3695 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3696 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3699 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3700 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3702 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3703 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3704 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3707 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3711 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3712 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3713 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3714 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3715 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3716 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3719 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3722 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3723 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3724 for now but they will eventually go away.
3727 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3728 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3729 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3730 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3731 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3732 has also been converted to the new form.
3735 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3736 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3737 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3738 for negative moduli.
3741 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3742 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3745 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3749 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3750 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3751 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3752 type-specific callbacks.
3755 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3757 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3758 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3760 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3761 in sections depending on the subject.
3764 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3768 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3769 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3770 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3771 be handled deterministically).
3772 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3774 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3775 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3776 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3779 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3782 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3783 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3784 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3785 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3786 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3789 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3790 sign of the number in question.
3792 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3794 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3795 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3796 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3797 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3798 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3801 *) New function BN_swap.
3804 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3805 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3806 results on negative inputs.
3809 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3810 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3811 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3814 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3815 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3816 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3817 and add new functions:
3826 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3830 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3832 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3833 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3835 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3836 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3837 be reduced modulo m.
3838 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3841 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3842 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3843 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3845 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3846 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3847 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3848 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3849 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3850 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3855 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3856 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3857 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3858 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3859 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3861 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3862 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3863 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3867 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3870 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3871 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3874 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3875 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3876 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3877 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3881 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3884 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3887 *) Add the following functions:
3889 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3891 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3893 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3895 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3896 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3897 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3898 libraries unless it's really needed.
3900 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3901 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3902 declarations (they differed!).
3905 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3908 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3911 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3914 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3915 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3918 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3919 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3920 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3922 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3923 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3926 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3929 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3932 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3935 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3936 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3937 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3939 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3940 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3941 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3942 different shared library filenames on each system.
3945 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3948 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3949 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3950 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3952 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3955 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3956 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3957 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3958 binary backward compatibility.
3959 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3960 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3961 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3965 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3966 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3967 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3968 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3972 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3975 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3976 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3977 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3978 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3982 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3985 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3987 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3988 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3989 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3991 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3993 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3995 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3996 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3999 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4001 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4003 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4004 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4006 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4007 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4011 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4012 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4016 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4017 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4018 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4019 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4021 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4022 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4025 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4027 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4028 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4029 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4030 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4033 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4034 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4035 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4036 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4037 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4039 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4040 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4041 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4042 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4043 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4044 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4045 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4046 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4047 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4050 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4052 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4053 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4054 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4055 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4056 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4058 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4059 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4060 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4062 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4064 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4065 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4066 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4067 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4068 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4069 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4072 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4073 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4074 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4075 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4076 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4079 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4080 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4081 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4083 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4084 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4085 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4089 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4090 being properly terminated.
4093 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4094 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type

4096 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4098 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4099 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4100 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4101 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4102 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4103 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4104 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4106 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4108 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4109 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4112 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4113 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4114 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),

4119 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4121 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4122 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4123 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4124 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4125 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4127 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4128 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4131 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4133 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4134 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4135 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4137 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4139 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4140 and get fix the header length calculation.
4141 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4142 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4145 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4146 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4147 assertions could call abort()).
4148 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4150 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4152 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4153 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4154 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4156 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4158 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4159 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4160 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4163 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4167 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4168 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4169 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4171 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4172 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4173 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4174 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4175 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4179 *) Changes in security patch:
4181 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4182 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4183 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4186 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4187 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4188 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4189 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)

4192 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to

4204 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4205 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4206 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4208 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4210 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4211 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4212 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4214 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4215 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4217 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4218 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4219 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4220 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4221 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4222 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4225 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4226 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4227 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4228 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4231 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4234 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4235 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4236 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4237 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4238 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4239 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4241 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4242 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4243 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4244 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4245 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4248 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4249 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4250 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4251 BN_generate_prime().)
4253 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4254 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4255 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4259 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4260 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4263 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4264 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4265 when using non-blocking I/O.
4266 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4268 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4269 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4271 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4272 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4275 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4276 configuration for the versions before that.
4277 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4279 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4280 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4281 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4282 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4285 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4286 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4287 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.

4298 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4299 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4301 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4302 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4303 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4304 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4305 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4306 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4307 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4310 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4311 using a local variable.
4312 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4314 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4315 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4316 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4318 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4321 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4322 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4324 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4325 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4326 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4328 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4330 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4331 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4332 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4333 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4336 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4340 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4341 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4342 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4343 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4344 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4346 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4347 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4348 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4350 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4351 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.

4355 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4356 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4357 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4359 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4360 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4361 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4363 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4365 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4366 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4368 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4370 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4371 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4372 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4373 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4375 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4376 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4377 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4378 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4380 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4381 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4383 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4384 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4385 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4388 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4389 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4390 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4392 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4394 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4395 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4396 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4397 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4398 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4399 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4400 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4403 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4404 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4405 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4406 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4408 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4409 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4410 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4411 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4412 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4413 the client will at least see that alert.
4416 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4420 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4421 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4422 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4424 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4425 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4426 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4427 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4430 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4431 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4432 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4434 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4435 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4436 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4437 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4438 may leak via logfiles.)
4440 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4441 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4442 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4443 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4447 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4448 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4451 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4452 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4453 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4454 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4455 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4458 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4459 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4461 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4462 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4463 followed by modular reduction.
4464 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4466 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4467 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4470 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4471 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4472 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4473 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4476 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4479 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4480 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4483 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4484 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4485 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4486 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4487 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4488 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4490 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4492 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4493 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4494 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4495 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4496 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4498 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4501 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4502 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4503 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4504 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4505 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4506 to allow the necessary settings.
4509 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4510 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4511 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4512 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4515 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4516 dh->length and always used
4518 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4520 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4521 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4522 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4523 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4524 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4529 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4531 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4537 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4538 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4539 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4540 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4542 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4543 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4544 always reject numbers >= n.
4547 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4548 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4549 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4550 variable) is not atomic.
4553 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4554 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4555 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4556 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4558 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4559 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4561 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4563 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4565 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4568 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4570 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4571 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4572 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4573 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4574 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4575 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4576 to traverse all of 'state'.
4578 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4579 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4580 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4582 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4583 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4585 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4586 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4587 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4588 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4589 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4590 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4591 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4592 further strengthens the PRNG.
4595 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4598 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4599 an error message in this case.
4602 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4605 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4606 positive and less than q.
4609 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4610 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4612 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4614 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4615 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4619 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4621 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4622 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4623 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4624 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4625 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4626 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4627 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4630 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4631 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4632 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4633 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4635 Both problems are now fixed.
4638 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4639 (previously it was 1024).
4642 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4643 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4646 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4649 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4650 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4651 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4654 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4655 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4656 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4657 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4658 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4659 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4660 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4661 environment variables.
4663 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4664 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4665 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4668 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4669 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4670 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4671 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4672 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4673 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4676 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4680 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4682 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4683 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4685 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4686 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4687 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4688 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4692 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4693 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4694 amount of data available.
4695 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4696 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4698 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4699 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4700 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4701 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4704 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4705 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4709 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4710 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4711 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4712 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4715 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4718 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4721 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4722 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4724 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4726 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4727 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4728 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4729 (but broken) behaviour.
4732 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4734 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4736 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4737 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4740 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4744 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4745 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4747 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4750 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4751 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4752 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4754 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4755 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4756 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4759 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4760 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4763 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4764 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4766 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4768 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4770 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4771 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4772 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4773 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4776 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4779 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4780 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4781 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4783 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4786 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4788 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4789 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4790 but the code is actually correct.
4793 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4794 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4795 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4796 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4797 and leaves the highest bit random.
4798 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4800 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4801 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4802 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4803 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4804 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4805 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4806 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4809 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4812 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4813 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4816 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4817 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4818 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4819 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4823 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4824 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4825 and break the signature.
4827 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4829 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4833 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4834 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4835 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4836 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4837 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4840 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4841 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4843 *) ./config script fixes.
4844 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4846 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4849 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4850 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4851 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4852 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4853 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4855 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4856 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4859 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4860 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4863 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4864 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4865 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4866 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4868 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4869 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4871 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4872 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4873 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4874 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4875 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4877 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4880 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4883 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4886 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4889 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4890 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4893 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4894 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4895 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4896 result of the server certificate verification.)
4899 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4900 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4901 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4905 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4906 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4907 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4908 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4909 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4910 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4911 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4912 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4915 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4916 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4917 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4918 happening the other way round.
4921 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4922 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4925 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4926 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4927 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4928 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4931 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4932 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4934 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4936 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4937 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4938 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4941 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4943 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4945 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4949 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4951 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4952 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4953 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4954 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4955 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4957 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4958 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4962 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4965 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4967 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4968 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4969 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4970 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4971 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4972 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4973 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4974 by the Finished messages.
4977 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4978 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4980 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4981 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4982 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4983 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4984 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4988 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4989 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4990 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4991 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4992 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4993 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4994 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4995 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4996 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5000 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5001 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5002 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5003 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5005 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5006 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5007 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5008 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5009 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5012 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5013 been tested well enough.
5016 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5017 it can return incorrect results.
5018 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5019 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5022 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5023 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5024 include zero length content when signing messages.
5027 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5028 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5031 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5034 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5038 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5039 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5040 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5041 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5042 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5043 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5046 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5047 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5049 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5050 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5052 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5053 random number < q in the DSA library.
5056 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5057 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5058 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5059 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5060 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5061 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5062 just makes things more complicated.)
5065 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5069 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5070 work better on such systems.
5071 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5073 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5074 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5075 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5078 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5079 if there was more than one signature.
5080 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5082 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5083 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5084 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5085 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5088 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5089 rather than always using the current time.
5092 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5093 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5094 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5095 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5096 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5097 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5099 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5100 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5102 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5104 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5105 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5106 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5107 the same hash value.
5109 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5110 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5111 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5112 with X509_STORE internally.
5114 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5115 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5117 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5118 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5119 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5120 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5121 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5122 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5123 entirely (maybe later...).
5125 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5127 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5128 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5129 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5130 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5131 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5132 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5133 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5134 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5136 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5137 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5139 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5140 to customise the verify behaviour.
5143 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5144 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5147 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5148 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5149 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5150 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5151 request is improperly encoded.
5154 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5155 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5158 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5159 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5161 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5162 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5166 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5167 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5168 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5171 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5172 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5173 BIO/fp routines also added.
5176 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5177 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5179 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5180 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5181 demos/state_machine.
5184 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5185 generation and verification.
5188 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5189 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5190 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5191 encode and decode it manually.
5194 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5196 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5198 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5199 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5200 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5201 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5203 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5204 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5205 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5206 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5207 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5210 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5213 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5214 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5215 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5217 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5218 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5219 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5220 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5221 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5222 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5223 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5224 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5226 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5227 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5229 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5231 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5232 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5233 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5237 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5238 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5239 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5240 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5244 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5246 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5249 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5250 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5251 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5252 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5253 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5254 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5255 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5256 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5257 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5258 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5259 short or long names are found.
5262 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5263 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5265 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5266 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5267 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5268 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5270 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5271 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5272 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5273 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5276 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5277 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5278 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5281 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5282 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5283 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5284 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5285 to allow the various flags to be set.
5288 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5289 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5290 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5291 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5292 dates to be checked.
5295 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5296 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5297 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5300 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5301 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5302 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5305 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5306 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5309 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5310 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5311 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5312 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5313 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5314 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5317 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5318 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5322 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5326 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5327 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5328 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5329 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5330 form signing output easier to verify.
5333 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5336 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5337 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5338 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5339 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5340 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5341 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5342 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5343 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5344 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5345 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5348 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5350 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5351 the syntax given in objects.README.
5352 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5354 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5357 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5358 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5359 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5360 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5361 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5362 consistent name changes.
5365 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5368 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5369 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5370 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5371 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5374 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5375 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5376 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5380 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5381 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5382 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5383 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5386 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5387 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5388 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5389 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5390 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5391 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5392 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5393 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5394 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5395 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5396 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5399 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5400 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5401 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5402 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5403 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5404 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5405 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5406 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5407 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5408 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5411 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5412 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5413 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5414 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5416 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5417 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5418 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5419 omit any duplicate addresses.
5422 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5423 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5426 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5427 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5428 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5429 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5430 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5433 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5435 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5436 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5437 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5438 Free => OPENSSL_free
5441 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5442 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5445 *) CygWin32 support.
5446 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5448 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5449 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5450 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5451 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5452 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5456 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5457 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5458 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5459 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5460 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5461 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5462 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5465 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5466 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5467 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5468 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5469 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5470 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5471 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5472 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5473 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5474 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5475 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5478 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5479 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5480 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5481 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5482 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5484 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5485 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5486 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5487 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5488 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5490 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5493 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5494 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5495 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5496 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5498 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5500 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5503 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5504 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5505 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5508 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5509 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5510 any installed hardware versions can.
5513 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5514 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5515 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5519 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5520 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5521 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5522 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5523 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5525 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5526 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5529 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5530 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5533 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5534 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5535 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5539 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5542 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5543 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5544 but no ssl client purpose.
5545 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5547 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5548 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5549 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5550 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5551 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5552 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5553 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5554 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5555 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5556 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5557 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5560 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5561 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5562 be obtained from the error queue.
5565 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5566 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5567 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5568 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5571 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5574 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5575 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5576 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5577 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5578 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5581 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5582 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5583 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5584 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5585 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5588 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5589 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5590 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5592 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5594 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5595 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5596 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5597 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5598 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5599 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5600 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5601 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5602 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5603 or "the configuration storage API"...
5605 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5607 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5608 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5610 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5612 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5614 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5615 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5616 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5617 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5618 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5619 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5620 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5622 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5623 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5626 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5627 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5628 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5629 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5632 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5633 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5634 them in a portable way.
5635 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5637 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5639 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5641 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5642 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5644 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5645 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5646 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5649 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5650 was larger than the MD block size.
5651 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5653 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5654 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5655 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5656 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5660 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5661 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5662 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5664 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5666 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5668 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5669 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5670 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5671 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5672 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5673 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5675 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5676 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5678 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5679 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5682 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5685 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5686 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5688 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5689 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5690 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5691 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5694 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5695 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5696 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5697 does not suppress any output.
5700 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5701 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5702 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5703 with all the associated security issues.
5705 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5706 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5707 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5708 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5709 use the value in the default purpose.
5712 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5713 and fix a memory leak.
5716 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5717 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5718 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5719 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5722 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5723 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5724 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5725 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5728 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5729 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5730 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5733 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5734 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5737 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5738 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5742 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5743 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5746 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5747 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5748 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5751 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5752 number generation fails.
5755 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5758 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5759 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5761 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5764 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5765 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5767 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5768 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5770 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5772 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5773 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5776 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5777 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5779 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5780 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5783 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5784 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5785 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5786 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5787 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5788 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5790 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5791 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5792 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5796 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5797 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5798 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5799 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5800 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5801 counter, some don't.)
5802 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5803 counters or duplicate objects.
5806 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5807 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5810 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5811 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5812 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5814 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5815 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5816 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5820 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5821 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5824 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5825 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5826 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5830 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5831 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5832 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5835 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5836 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5837 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5838 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5839 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5840 should work without changes.
5843 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5844 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5845 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5846 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5847 must be defined. E.g.,
5848 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5849 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5850 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5851 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5853 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5857 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5858 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5859 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5862 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5863 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5864 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5865 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5868 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5869 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5870 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5871 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5872 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5873 is prompted for as usual.
5876 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5877 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5878 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5879 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5881 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5882 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5883 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5884 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5887 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5890 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5894 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5897 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5900 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5904 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5907 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5910 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5911 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5914 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5915 options to produce them.
5918 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5919 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5922 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5926 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5927 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5928 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5929 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5930 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5931 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5932 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5935 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5938 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5939 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5940 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5943 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5944 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5946 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5947 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5950 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5951 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5952 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5956 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5957 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5959 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5960 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5961 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5962 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5963 generation becomes much faster.
5965 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5966 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5967 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5968 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5969 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5970 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5971 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5972 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5973 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5974 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5977 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5978 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5979 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5980 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5981 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5982 trial division stage.
5985 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5989 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5992 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5995 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5996 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5997 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6001 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6002 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6003 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6006 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6007 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6008 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6009 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6011 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6012 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6015 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6018 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6019 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6020 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6021 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6024 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6025 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6026 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6029 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6030 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6031 (instead of parameters) in future.
6034 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6035 when a new cipher list is set.
6038 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6039 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6042 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6043 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6044 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6046 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6047 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6048 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6049 an error is flagged.
6051 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6052 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6053 the readability was also increased :-)
6054 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6056 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6057 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6058 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6059 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6063 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6064 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6067 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6068 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6069 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6070 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6073 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6074 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6075 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6076 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6077 because they handle more complex structures.)
6080 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6081 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6082 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6083 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6085 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6086 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6087 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6088 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6089 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6090 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6091 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6094 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6095 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6096 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6097 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6098 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6101 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6104 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6105 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6106 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6107 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6108 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6111 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6115 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6116 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6117 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6118 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6121 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6124 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6125 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6126 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6127 international characters are used.
6129 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6130 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6131 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6135 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6136 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6137 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6140 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6141 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6142 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6143 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6144 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6145 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6147 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6148 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6149 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6150 be handled by the string table functions.
6152 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6153 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6154 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6155 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6156 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6160 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6161 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6162 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6163 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6164 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6166 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6167 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6168 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6169 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6172 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6173 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6174 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6175 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6176 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6180 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6181 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6182 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6183 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6184 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6185 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6186 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6187 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6189 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6190 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6191 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6194 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6195 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6196 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6197 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6198 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6199 support to pkcs8 application.
6202 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6203 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6204 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6205 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6206 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6207 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6210 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6211 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6212 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6213 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6214 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6218 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6219 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6220 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6221 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6225 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6226 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6227 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6228 and any application specific purposes.
6230 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6231 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6232 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6233 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6234 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6235 if the certificate is self signed.
6238 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6239 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6242 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6243 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6244 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6245 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6248 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6249 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6250 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6251 Update documentation.
6254 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6255 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6256 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6257 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6258 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6261 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6263 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6265 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6266 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6267 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6268 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6269 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6270 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6271 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6272 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6273 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6274 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6276 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6278 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6279 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6280 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6281 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6282 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6284 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6285 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6286 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6287 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6288 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6289 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6290 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6291 request additional information:
6292 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6293 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6295 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6296 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6297 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6300 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6301 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6304 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6307 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6308 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6310 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6311 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6312 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6316 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6317 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6318 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6320 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6321 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6322 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6323 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6324 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6325 included in OpenSSL.
6328 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6329 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6330 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6331 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6332 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6333 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6336 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6340 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6341 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6342 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6343 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6344 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6348 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6352 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6353 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6354 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6355 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6356 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6357 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6358 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6359 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6360 be maintained manually.
6362 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6363 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6364 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6365 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6366 work because people forget to call this function]
6367 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6368 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6369 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6372 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6373 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6374 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6375 should be discouraged from doing it.
6378 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6379 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6380 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6381 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6382 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6383 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6386 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6387 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6388 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6390 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6391 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6392 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6394 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6395 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6396 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6397 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6398 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6399 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6401 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6402 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6403 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6405 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6406 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6409 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6410 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6411 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6412 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6415 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6418 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6419 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6420 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6421 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6422 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6423 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6424 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6425 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6426 keys so we should be OK.
6428 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6429 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6430 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6431 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6432 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6433 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6434 stay in the name of compatibility.
6436 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6437 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6438 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6440 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6441 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6442 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6443 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6444 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6445 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6449 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6450 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6451 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6452 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6453 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6454 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6455 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6456 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6457 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6458 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6459 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6460 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6461 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6464 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6467 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6468 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6469 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6470 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6471 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6472 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6473 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6474 openssl verify ss.pem
6475 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6476 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6480 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6481 (and add it to external session representation).
6482 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6483 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6484 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6485 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6486 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6487 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6489 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6491 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6492 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6493 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6494 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6496 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6497 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6498 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6501 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6502 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6503 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6507 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6508 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6509 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6511 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6512 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6513 certificate auxiliary information.
6516 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6520 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6521 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6522 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6523 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6524 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6525 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6526 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6529 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6530 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6533 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6534 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6535 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6536 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6539 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6542 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6543 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6546 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6547 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6548 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6549 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6550 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6551 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6552 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6553 using the new 'x509' options.
6555 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6556 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6557 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6558 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6562 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6563 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6564 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6565 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6566 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6569 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6570 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6571 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6572 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6573 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6574 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6575 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6576 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6577 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6578 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6581 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6582 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6583 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6584 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6585 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6586 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6587 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6590 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6591 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6592 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6593 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6594 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6595 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6596 openssl.cnf for more info.
6599 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6600 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6601 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6602 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6603 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6604 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6605 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6606 md should be large enough anyway.
6609 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6610 for handling the random seed file.
6612 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6614 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6617 x509 (when signing).
6618 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6619 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6620 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6622 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6623 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6624 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6625 that support '-rand'.
6628 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6629 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6632 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6633 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6636 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6637 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6638 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6639 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6643 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6644 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6645 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6646 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6649 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6650 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6651 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6652 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6653 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6654 print out all the purposes.
6657 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6661 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6662 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6663 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6664 single function call.
6667 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6668 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6671 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6672 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6673 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6676 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6677 when producing the local key id.
6678 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6680 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6681 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6682 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6686 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6687 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6688 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6689 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6692 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6693 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6694 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6695 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6697 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6698 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6699 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6700 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6702 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6703 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6704 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6705 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6706 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6707 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6708 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6709 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6710 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6711 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6712 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6713 trivial: move one line.
6714 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6716 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6717 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6718 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6719 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6720 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6721 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6722 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6723 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6724 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6725 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6726 with an event loop for example.
6729 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6730 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6731 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6732 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6733 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6734 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6735 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6736 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6737 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6740 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6741 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6742 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6743 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6744 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6745 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6748 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6749 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6750 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6751 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6753 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6754 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6755 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6756 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6760 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6761 (still largely untested)
6764 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6765 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6768 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6769 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6772 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6773 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6774 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6777 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6778 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6779 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6780 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6781 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6784 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6787 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6788 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6789 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6790 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6791 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6795 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6796 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6799 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6802 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6803 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6804 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6805 are otherwise ignored at present.
6808 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6809 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6810 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6811 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6812 copied until the next read.
6815 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6816 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6817 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6820 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6821 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6822 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6823 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6824 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6825 associated functions.
6828 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6829 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6830 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6831 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6832 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6833 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6834 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6835 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6836 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6840 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6841 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6842 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6843 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6846 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6847 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6848 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6849 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6850 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6854 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6855 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6859 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6860 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6861 extensions to be obtained and added.
6864 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6865 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6868 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6870 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6871 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6873 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6874 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6876 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6880 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6881 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6882 DH parameters contain its length).
6884 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6885 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6886 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6887 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6888 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6889 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6890 utter importance to use
6891 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6893 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6894 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6895 attacks may become possible!
6898 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6901 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6902 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6905 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6906 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6907 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6911 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6912 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6913 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6914 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6915 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6916 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6917 private key operations.
6920 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6923 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6924 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6926 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6927 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6928 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6929 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6930 the password callback is called.
6931 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6933 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6935 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6936 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6937 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6938 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6939 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6940 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6943 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6944 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6945 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6946 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6947 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6948 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6951 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6954 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6955 delete an unused file.
6958 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6959 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6960 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6961 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6964 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6965 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6966 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6970 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6971 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6972 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6974 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6975 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6976 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6977 comparison" warnings.
6978 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6981 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6982 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6983 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6986 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6987 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6989 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6990 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6992 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6993 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6994 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6996 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6997 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6998 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6999 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7000 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7002 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7004 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7005 The interface is as follows:
7006 Applications can use
7007 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7008 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7009 "off" is now the default.
7010 The library internally uses
7011 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7012 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7013 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7015 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7016 even the default) are now avoided.
7018 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7019 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7020 than just having a counter.
7022 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7024 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7028 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7029 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7030 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7031 Initial "mode" flags are:
7033 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7034 a single record has been written.
7035 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7036 retries use the same buffer location.
7037 (But all of the contents must be
7041 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7044 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7045 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7047 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7048 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7049 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7052 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7053 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7055 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7057 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7058 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7059 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7060 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7062 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7063 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7065 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7066 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7067 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7068 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7069 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7070 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7073 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7074 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7075 necessary function names.
7078 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7079 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7080 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7081 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7084 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7085 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7086 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7089 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7090 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7091 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7092 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7094 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7098 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7099 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7100 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7103 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7104 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7108 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7109 for the encoded length.
7110 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7112 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7115 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7116 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7117 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7118 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7121 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7122 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7123 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7125 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7126 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7127 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7131 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7132 to use the new extension code.
7135 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7136 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7137 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7141 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7142 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7143 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7147 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7150 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7151 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7152 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7155 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7156 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7157 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7158 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7161 *) DES library cleanups.
7164 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7165 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7166 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7167 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7168 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7172 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7173 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7176 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7177 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7178 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7179 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7180 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7181 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7182 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7183 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7184 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7187 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7188 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7189 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7190 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7191 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7192 value doesn't matter.
7195 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7199 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7200 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7201 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7202 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7204 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7207 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7208 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7209 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7211 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7212 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7214 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7217 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7220 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7223 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7227 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7229 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7231 *) Updated some demos.
7232 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7234 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7237 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7240 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7243 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7244 instead of using a fixed path.
7247 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7250 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7254 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7256 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7257 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7258 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7260 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7261 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7262 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7263 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7264 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7265 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7266 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7267 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7268 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7269 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7272 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7273 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7276 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7277 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7278 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7279 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7280 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7282 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7285 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7286 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7287 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7290 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7293 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7294 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7295 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7296 key elements as negative integers.
7299 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7300 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7303 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7305 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7306 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7307 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7310 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7311 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7312 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7313 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7314 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7317 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7320 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7321 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7322 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7323 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7325 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7326 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7327 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7329 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7330 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7331 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7332 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7333 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7334 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7335 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7336 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7337 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7339 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7340 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7341 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7342 does not influence s as it used to.
7344 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7345 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7346 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7347 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7348 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7349 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7352 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7353 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7354 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7358 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7359 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7360 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7364 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7365 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7366 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7370 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7371 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7374 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7375 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7380 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7381 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7383 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7384 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7386 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7389 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7392 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7393 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7395 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7396 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7397 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7401 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7402 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7403 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7404 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7405 now it really counts the depth.
7408 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7409 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7410 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7411 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7412 didn't match the private key).
7414 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7415 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7416 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7419 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7422 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7426 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7427 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7428 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7431 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7434 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7435 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7436 such as /usr/local/bin.
7439 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7440 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7442 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7445 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7446 extension adding in x509 utility.
7449 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7452 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7456 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7459 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7460 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7461 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7462 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7463 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7464 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7465 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7466 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7467 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7468 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7471 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7474 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7475 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7478 *) Fix some race conditions.
7481 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7482 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7485 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7488 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7489 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7490 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7491 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7493 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7494 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7496 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7497 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7498 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7500 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7501 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7503 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7506 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7507 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7509 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7512 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7513 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7515 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7516 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7519 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7520 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7523 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7524 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7527 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7528 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7531 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7532 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7535 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7536 support typesafe stack.
7539 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7540 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7542 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7543 old X509V3 handling code.
7546 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7549 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7552 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7555 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7556 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7558 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7559 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7560 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7561 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7562 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7565 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7566 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7567 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7568 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7569 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7571 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7572 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7573 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7574 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7576 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7577 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7578 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7579 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7581 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7582 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7583 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7584 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7585 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7586 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7589 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7590 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7593 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7594 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7597 *) Tweaks to Configure
7598 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7600 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7604 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7607 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7608 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7611 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7612 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7613 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7616 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7619 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7620 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7623 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7624 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7625 to library startup routines.
7628 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7629 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7630 codes along the way.
7633 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7634 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7635 objects to objects.h
7638 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7639 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7642 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7643 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7645 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7646 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7647 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7649 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7650 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7651 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7653 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7654 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7655 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7658 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7660 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7661 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7664 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7665 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7666 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7667 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7668 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7670 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7671 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7672 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7674 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7676 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7678 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7680 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7681 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7683 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7684 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7685 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7686 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7688 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7691 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7692 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7693 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7694 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7697 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7698 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7699 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7702 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7703 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7704 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7705 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7706 installed as `perl').
7707 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7709 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7710 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7712 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7713 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7714 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7715 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7716 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7719 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7722 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7723 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7724 is horrible: I feel ill....
7727 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7728 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7729 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7730 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7733 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7734 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7736 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7737 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7738 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7739 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7741 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7742 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7743 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7744 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7745 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7746 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7748 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7750 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7751 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7753 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7754 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7756 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7759 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7760 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7764 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7765 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7766 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7767 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7768 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7769 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7770 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7771 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7772 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7773 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7774 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7776 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7779 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7780 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7781 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7782 for linking it into DSOs.
7783 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7785 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7789 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7790 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7791 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7792 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7793 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7794 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7796 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7797 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7798 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7799 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7800 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7801 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7802 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7804 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7805 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7806 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7810 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7811 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7812 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7813 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7816 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7817 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7818 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7819 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7820 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7824 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7825 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7826 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7827 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7828 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7830 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7831 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7832 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7834 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7835 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7837 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7838 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7839 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7840 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7841 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7844 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7845 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7846 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7847 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7848 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7849 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7850 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7853 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7855 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7856 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7859 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7860 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7862 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7863 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7866 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7867 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7868 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7869 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7870 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7872 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7873 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7874 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7875 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7876 no way to reconfigure them.
7877 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7878 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7879 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7880 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7881 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7882 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7884 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7885 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7886 recognized by the users.
7887 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7889 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7890 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7891 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7892 already masked variable.
7893 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7895 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7896 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7898 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7899 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7900 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7901 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7903 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7904 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7905 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7907 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7908 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7909 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7910 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7911 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7912 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7913 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7914 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7916 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7918 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7919 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7920 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7922 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7923 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7927 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7928 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7930 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7931 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7932 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7933 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7936 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7939 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7940 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7942 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7945 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7946 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7949 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7950 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7953 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7954 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7955 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7956 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7957 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7958 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7959 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7962 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7963 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7965 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7966 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7967 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7968 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7969 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7971 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7972 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7973 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7976 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7977 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7981 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7982 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7983 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7985 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7986 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7987 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7991 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7992 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7993 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7994 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7997 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7998 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7999 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8000 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8003 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8004 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8005 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8006 so it wasn't spotted.
8007 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8009 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8010 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8011 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8012 vectors if you have them.
8015 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8016 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8019 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8020 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8021 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8022 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8024 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8025 it will update them.
8028 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8029 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8030 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8031 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8032 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8033 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8034 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8035 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8037 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8038 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8039 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8040 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8041 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8042 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8043 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8044 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8045 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8046 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8048 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8049 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8050 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8051 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8052 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8055 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8059 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8060 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8062 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8063 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8065 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8066 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8069 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8070 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8072 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8073 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8075 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8078 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8082 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8083 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8084 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8085 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8087 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8090 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8093 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8096 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8097 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8100 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8101 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8105 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8106 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8109 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8110 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8111 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8114 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8115 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8116 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8117 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8118 properly to be processed.
8121 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8122 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8123 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8126 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8127 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8129 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8130 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8131 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8132 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8133 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8134 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8135 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8136 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8137 or delete all the .err files.
8140 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8141 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8142 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8143 to regenerate it if needed.
8144 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8145 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8147 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8148 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8150 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8151 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8152 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8153 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8154 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8157 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8158 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8160 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8161 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8163 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8164 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8165 error, but didn't set one).
8166 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8168 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8171 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8172 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8175 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8176 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8178 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8179 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8180 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8181 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8182 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8183 OID is not part of the table.
8186 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8187 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8190 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8193 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8194 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8198 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8199 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8201 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8203 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8205 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8206 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8208 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8209 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8211 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8212 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8214 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8215 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8218 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8219 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8222 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8223 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8225 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8226 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8228 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8229 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8231 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8232 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8234 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8235 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8236 unused in the certificate verification process.
8237 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8239 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8240 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8243 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8244 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8245 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8247 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8248 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8249 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8250 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8251 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8253 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8254 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8257 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8260 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8263 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8264 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8266 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8269 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8272 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8275 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8276 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8277 other error libraries.
8280 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8283 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8284 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8288 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8289 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8290 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8291 the new set of documenation files.
8292 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8294 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8295 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8296 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8297 number of arguments.
8298 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8300 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8303 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8304 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8305 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8307 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8310 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8314 unixware-2.0-pentium
8318 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8319 before they are needed.
8322 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8326 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8328 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8329 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8330 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8332 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8335 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8336 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8337 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8339 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8340 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8341 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8343 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8344 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8345 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8347 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8348 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8350 *) Updated the README file.
8351 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8353 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8354 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8355 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8357 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8358 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8359 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8361 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8362 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8363 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8364 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8365 o removed obsolete TODO file
8366 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8367 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8369 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8370 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8371 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8372 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8373 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8374 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8375 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8377 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8380 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8381 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8382 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8384 [The OpenSSL Project]
8387 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8389 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8392 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8395 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8396 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8399 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8400 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8404 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8406 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8408 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8411 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8414 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8417 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8420 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8423 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8426 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8429 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8432 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8435 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8438 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8441 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8444 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8447 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8450 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8453 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8456 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8459 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8460 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8461 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8464 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8465 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8468 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8471 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8474 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8475 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8478 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8481 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8484 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8485 bytes sent in the client random.
