*)
+ Changes between 1.0.2t and 1.0.2u [20 Dec 2019]
+
+ *) Fixed an an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
+ used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
+ affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
+ 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
+ difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
+ are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
+ have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
+ Also applications directly using the low level API BN_mod_exp may be
+ affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
+ (CVE-2019-1551)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2s and 1.0.2t [10 Sep 2019]
+
+ *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
+ used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
+ or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
+ `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
+ This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
+ especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
+ By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
+ serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
+ internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
+ [Nicola Tuveri]
+
+ *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
+ this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
+ NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
+ does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
+ (CVE-2019-1547)
+ [Billy Bob Brumley]
+
+ *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
+ An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
+ second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
+ recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
+ encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
+ decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
+ used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
+ As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
+ key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
+ certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
+ The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
+ CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
+ (CVE-2019-1563)
+ [Bernd Edlinger]
+
+ *) Document issue with installation paths in diverse Windows builds
+
+ '/usr/local/ssl' is an unsafe prefix for location to install OpenSSL
+ binaries and run-time config file.
+ (CVE-2019-1552)
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2r and 1.0.2s [28 May 2019]
+
+ *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
+ This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
+ fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
+ generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) Add FIPS support for Android Arm 64-bit
+
+ Support for Android Arm 64-bit was added to the OpenSSL FIPS Object
+ Module in Version 2.0.10. For some reason, the corresponding target
+ 'android64-aarch64' was missing OpenSSL 1.0.2, whence it could not be
+ built with FIPS support on Android Arm 64-bit. This omission has been
+ fixed.
+ [Matthias St. Pierre]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2q and 1.0.2r [26 Feb 2019]
+
+ *) 0-byte record padding oracle
+
+ If an application encounters a fatal protocol error and then calls
+ SSL_shutdown() twice (once to send a close_notify, and once to receive one)
+ then OpenSSL can respond differently to the calling application if a 0 byte
+ record is received with invalid padding compared to if a 0 byte record is
+ received with an invalid MAC. If the application then behaves differently
+ based on that in a way that is detectable to the remote peer, then this
+ amounts to a padding oracle that could be used to decrypt data.
+
+ In order for this to be exploitable "non-stitched" ciphersuites must be in
+ use. Stitched ciphersuites are optimised implementations of certain
+ commonly used ciphersuites. Also the application must call SSL_shutdown()
+ twice even if a protocol error has occurred (applications should not do
+ this but some do anyway).
+
+ This issue was discovered by Juraj Somorovsky, Robert Merget and Nimrod
+ Aviram, with additional investigation by Steven Collison and Andrew
+ Hourselt. It was reported to OpenSSL on 10th December 2018.
+ (CVE-2019-1559)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2p and 1.0.2q [20 Nov 2018]
+
+ *) Microarchitecture timing vulnerability in ECC scalar multiplication
+
+ OpenSSL ECC scalar multiplication, used in e.g. ECDSA and ECDH, has been
+ shown to be vulnerable to a microarchitecture timing side channel attack.
+ An attacker with sufficient access to mount local timing attacks during
+ ECDSA signature generation could recover the private key.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th October 2018 by Alejandro
+ Cabrera Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Cesar Pereida Garcia and
+ Nicola Tuveri.
+ (CVE-2018-5407)
+ [Billy Brumley]
+
+ *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
+
+ The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
+ timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
+ algorithm to recover the private key.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
+ (CVE-2018-0734)
+ [Paul Dale]
+
+ *) Resolve a compatibility issue in EC_GROUP handling with the FIPS Object
+ Module, accidentally introduced while backporting security fixes from the
+ development branch and hindering the use of ECC in FIPS mode.
+ [Nicola Tuveri]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2o and 1.0.2p [14 Aug 2018]
+
+ *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
+
+ During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
+ malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
+ cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
+ key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
+ could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
+ (CVE-2018-0732)
+ [Guido Vranken]
+
+ *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
+
+ The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
+ a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
+ mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
+ recover the private key.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
+ Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
+ (CVE-2018-0737)
+ [Billy Brumley]
+
+ *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
+ parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
+ pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
+ length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
+ being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
+ For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
+ The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
+ to 2^-128.
+ [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
+
+ *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
+ [Kurt Roeckx]
+
+ *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
+ attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
+ now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
+ compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
+ are no longer allowed.
+ [Emilia Käsper]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2n and 1.0.2o [27 Mar 2018]
+
+ *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
+
+ Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
+ in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
+ excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
+ are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
+ so this is considered safe.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
+ project.
+ (CVE-2018-0739)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ Changes between 1.0.2m and 1.0.2n [7 Dec 2017]
+
+ *) Read/write after SSL object in error state
+
+ OpenSSL 1.0.2 (starting from version 1.0.2b) introduced an "error state"
+ mechanism. The intent was that if a fatal error occurred during a handshake
+ then OpenSSL would move into the error state and would immediately fail if
+ you attempted to continue the handshake. This works as designed for the
+ explicit handshake functions (SSL_do_handshake(), SSL_accept() and
+ SSL_connect()), however due to a bug it does not work correctly if
+ SSL_read() or SSL_write() is called directly. In that scenario, if the
+ handshake fails then a fatal error will be returned in the initial function
+ call. If SSL_read()/SSL_write() is subsequently called by the application
+ for the same SSL object then it will succeed and the data is passed without
+ being decrypted/encrypted directly from the SSL/TLS record layer.
+
+ In order to exploit this issue an application bug would have to be present
+ that resulted in a call to SSL_read()/SSL_write() being issued after having
+ already received a fatal error.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google).
+ (CVE-2017-3737)
+ [Matt Caswell]
+
+ *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
+
+ There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
+ used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
+ Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
+ defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
+ Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
+ work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
+ offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
+ significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
+ would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
+ no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
+
+ This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
+ like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
+ was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
+ (CVE-2017-3738)
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
Changes between 1.0.2l and 1.0.2m [2 Nov 2017]
