5 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
8 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
9 the new parameter format automatically.
12 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
13 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
16 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
19 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
20 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
24 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
25 sign or verify all in one operation.
28 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporaing all the algorithm
29 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
30 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
33 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
36 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
39 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
40 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
41 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
42 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
43 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
46 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
50 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
51 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
52 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
55 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
56 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
59 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
62 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
63 POST to handle HMAC cases.
66 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
67 to return numberical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
70 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
71 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implmeneted
72 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
75 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
76 there is no mutiple of the block length between min_len and
77 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
78 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
79 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
80 requested amount of entropy.
83 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
84 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
87 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
88 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
89 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
93 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
94 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
95 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
98 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
99 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
100 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
101 will never use XTS mode.
104 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
105 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
106 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
107 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
108 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
109 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
112 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
113 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
114 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
115 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
118 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
119 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
120 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
123 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
126 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
129 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
130 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
133 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
134 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
137 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
138 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
141 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
142 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
143 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
144 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
145 and rename any affected symbols.
148 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
149 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
152 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
153 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
154 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
157 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
160 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
161 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
162 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
165 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
166 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
169 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
170 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
171 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
172 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
173 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
174 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
178 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
179 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
180 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
181 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
182 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
183 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
184 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
185 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
188 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
189 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
192 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
194 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
195 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
197 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
198 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
199 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
200 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
201 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
202 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
204 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
205 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
206 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
208 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
210 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_diff to find the difference in days
211 and seconds between two tm structures. This will be used to provide
212 additional functionality for ASN1_TIME.
215 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
216 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
219 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
220 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
221 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
222 setting is used: whether to trust or reject.
225 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
229 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
230 Add CMAC pkey methods.
233 *) Experimental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
234 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
235 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
238 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
239 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
240 multi-process servers.
243 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
244 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
245 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
246 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
247 RAND_METHOD structure.
250 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
251 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
252 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
253 whose return value is often ignored.
256 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
258 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
259 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
261 *) Add support for SCTP.
262 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
264 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
265 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
267 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
269 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
270 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
271 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
272 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
273 - s390x: z196 support;
274 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
278 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
279 (removal of unnecessary code)
280 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
282 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
283 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
285 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
288 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
291 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
292 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
293 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
295 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
297 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
298 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
299 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
300 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
301 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
303 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
304 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
305 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
307 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
308 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
309 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
311 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
312 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
314 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
316 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
317 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
318 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
321 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
322 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
326 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
327 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
328 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
331 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
332 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
333 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
334 the appropriate parameters.
337 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
338 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
339 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
340 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
341 against a number of sample certificates.
344 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
345 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
347 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
348 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
350 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
351 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
355 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
359 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
360 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
361 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
365 *) Session-handling fixes:
366 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
367 but also support Session Tickets.
368 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
369 presented a ticket with an expired session.
370 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
371 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
372 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
373 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
375 *) Fix PSK session representation.
378 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
380 This work was sponsored by Intel.
383 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
384 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
385 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
386 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
387 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
390 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
391 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
394 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
395 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
396 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
399 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
400 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
401 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
402 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
405 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
406 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
407 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
410 *) Add -attime option to openssl verify.
411 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org> and Ben Laurie]
413 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
416 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
417 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
420 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
423 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
424 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
427 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
428 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
431 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
434 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
435 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
436 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
439 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
442 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
445 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
446 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
449 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
450 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
451 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
454 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
457 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
461 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
462 FIPS modules versions.
465 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
466 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
467 until after the certificate request message is received.
470 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
471 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
472 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
473 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
476 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
477 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
478 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
479 support yet and no support for client certificates.
482 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
483 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
484 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
485 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
486 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
487 and version checking.
490 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
491 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
492 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
493 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
497 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
499 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
502 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
503 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
504 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
506 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
507 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
508 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
511 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
512 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
514 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
515 a few changes are required:
517 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
519 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
520 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
521 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
524 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [xx XXX xxxx]
526 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. (CVE-2011-4619)
527 [Adam Langley (Google)]
529 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
530 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
532 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
533 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
534 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
535 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
537 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
538 [Adam Langley (Google)]
540 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
541 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
543 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
544 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
545 [Adam Langley (Google)]
547 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
548 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
549 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
551 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
552 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
553 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
554 the last update always remained unused).
555 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
557 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
558 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
560 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
562 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
563 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
564 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
566 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
567 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
568 [Adam Langley (Google)]
570 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
573 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
574 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
575 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
578 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
579 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
581 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
583 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
585 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
587 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
588 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
590 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
591 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
595 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
597 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
598 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
599 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
602 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
603 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
604 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
607 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
609 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
610 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
611 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
614 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
618 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
620 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
622 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
624 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
626 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
627 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
628 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
631 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
634 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
635 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
636 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
638 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
639 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
640 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
643 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
644 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
647 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
648 some responders need this.
651 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
653 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
655 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
656 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
657 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
660 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
663 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
664 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
665 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
666 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
667 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
668 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
669 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
670 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
673 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
674 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
675 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
676 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
678 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
679 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
681 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
685 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
686 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
687 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
688 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
689 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
690 attempting to work them out.
693 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
694 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
695 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
696 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
699 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
700 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
701 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
702 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
703 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
706 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
707 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
714 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
716 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
720 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
721 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
723 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
724 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
726 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
727 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
728 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
729 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
730 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
733 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
734 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
735 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
738 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
739 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
742 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
743 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
745 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
746 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
749 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
752 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
753 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
754 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
758 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
759 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
760 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
761 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
762 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
763 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
766 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
767 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
769 This work was sponsored by Google.
772 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
773 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
774 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
775 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
776 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
777 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
778 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
781 This work was sponsored by Google.
784 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
786 This work was sponsored by Google.
789 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
790 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
791 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
792 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
794 This work was sponsored by Google.
797 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
798 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
799 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
800 CRL functionality in future.
802 This work was sponsored by Google.
805 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
807 This work was sponsored by Google.
810 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
811 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
813 This work was sponsored by Google.
816 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
817 and URI types are currently supported.
819 This work was sponsored by Google.
822 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
823 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
824 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
825 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
826 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
827 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
828 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
829 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
831 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
832 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
833 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
835 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
836 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
837 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
838 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
840 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
841 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
842 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
843 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
844 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
845 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
846 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
847 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
849 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
851 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
852 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
853 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
855 This work was sponsored by Google.
858 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
861 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
862 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
863 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
866 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
867 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
870 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
871 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
874 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
875 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
876 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
877 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
878 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
879 content types and variants.
882 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
885 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
886 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
887 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
888 files from the associated perl scripts.
891 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
892 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
893 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
895 *) s390x assembler pack.
898 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
902 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
903 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
904 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
905 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
906 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
907 to use. For example, specify an option
909 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
911 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
912 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
913 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
914 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
915 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
916 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
918 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
919 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
920 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
921 return non-zero for success.
923 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
926 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
927 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
931 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
934 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
935 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
936 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
937 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
938 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
939 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
940 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
941 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
942 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
944 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
945 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
946 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
947 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
948 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
949 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
951 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
952 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
953 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
954 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
955 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
956 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
960 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
963 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
965 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
966 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
967 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
970 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
971 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
974 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
975 protection in servers so again support should be possible
976 with no application modification.
978 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
979 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
981 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
982 or server extensions to be examined.
984 This work was sponsored by Google.
987 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
988 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
989 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
991 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
992 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
994 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
996 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
997 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
998 to output in BER and PEM format.
1001 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1002 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1003 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1004 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1005 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1008 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1009 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1010 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1014 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1015 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1016 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1017 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1018 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1019 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1020 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1021 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1024 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1025 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1026 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1027 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1029 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1030 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1031 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1035 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1036 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1037 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1038 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1039 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1040 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1041 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1042 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1043 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1045 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1046 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1047 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1048 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1049 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1050 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1051 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1052 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1053 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1054 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1055 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1058 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1059 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1060 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1062 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1063 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1067 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1068 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1069 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1072 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1073 it yet and it is largely untested.
1076 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1079 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1080 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1081 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1084 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1087 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1088 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1089 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1090 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1093 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1094 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1095 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1096 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1097 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1100 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1101 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1104 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1105 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1106 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1107 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1110 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1111 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1112 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1113 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1116 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1117 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1120 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1121 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1122 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1123 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1126 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1127 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1128 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1131 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1135 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1136 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1139 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1140 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1141 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1145 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1146 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1147 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1150 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1151 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1152 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1153 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1156 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1157 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1158 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1159 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1160 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1161 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1164 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1165 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1166 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1167 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1168 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1170 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1171 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1172 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1173 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1174 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1177 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1178 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1179 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1180 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1182 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1183 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1184 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1185 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1186 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1192 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1193 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1197 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1198 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1201 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1202 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1205 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1206 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1207 functional reference processing.
1210 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1211 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1215 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1216 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1217 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1220 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1221 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1222 application to support multiple signers.
1225 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1229 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1230 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1231 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1232 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1233 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1236 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1240 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1241 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1242 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1243 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1247 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1248 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1249 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1250 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1251 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1252 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1253 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1254 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1257 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1258 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1259 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1260 between digests and public key types.
1263 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1264 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1265 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1266 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1269 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1270 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1274 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1277 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1281 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1282 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1283 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1284 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1289 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1291 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1293 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1295 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1296 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1297 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1298 functionality for RSA.
1301 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1302 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1303 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1306 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1307 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1310 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1311 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1312 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1315 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1316 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1319 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1320 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1323 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1324 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1328 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1329 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1330 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1334 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1335 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1336 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1337 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1338 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1339 of public and private key structures.
1342 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1343 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1346 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1347 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1348 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1351 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1355 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1356 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1357 SSL_get_psk_identity
1358 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1360 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1362 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1363 and response verification functionality.
1364 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1366 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1367 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1368 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1369 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1370 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1371 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1372 server_name extension.
1374 New functions (subject to change):
1376 SSL_get_servername()
1377 SSL_get_servername_type()
1380 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1382 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1383 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1384 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1385 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1386 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1388 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1390 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1391 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1392 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1393 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1394 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1395 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1398 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1400 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1403 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1404 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1405 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1406 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1407 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1410 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1411 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1415 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1416 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1417 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1418 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1421 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1422 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1423 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1424 using the maximum available value.
1427 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1428 in addition to the text details.
1431 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1432 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1433 handle several customised structures at all.
1436 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1437 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1438 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1441 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1444 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1445 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1446 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1449 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1450 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1451 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1454 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1455 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1459 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1462 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1465 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [xx XXX xxxx]
1467 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1468 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1470 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1471 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1473 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1474 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1475 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1477 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1478 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1479 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1481 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1482 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1483 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1484 the last update always remained unused).
1485 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1487 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1488 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1489 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1491 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1494 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1495 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1497 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1499 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1501 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
1503 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1504 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1506 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1507 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1511 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1513 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1514 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1515 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1518 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1519 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1520 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1523 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1525 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1526 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1527 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1530 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1533 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1534 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1535 some broken encodings work correctly.
1538 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1539 is also one of the inputs.
1540 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1542 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1543 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1544 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
1548 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
1550 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
1553 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
1554 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
1555 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
1557 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
1558 common in certificates and some applications which only call
1559 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
1563 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
1564 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
1565 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
1566 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
1568 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1570 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1571 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1572 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1573 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1574 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1575 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1576 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1577 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1579 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1580 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1581 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1583 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1585 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1586 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1588 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1589 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1592 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1593 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1594 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1597 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1598 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1599 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1600 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1601 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1602 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1605 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1606 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1607 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1610 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1611 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1612 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1613 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1614 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1615 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1619 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1620 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1623 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1624 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1625 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1628 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1631 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1632 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1633 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1634 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1635 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1636 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1637 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1638 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1639 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1642 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1643 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1644 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1647 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1648 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1651 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1652 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1653 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1654 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1655 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1656 know what you are doing.
1657 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1659 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1660 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1661 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1662 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1663 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1664 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1668 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1669 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1670 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1672 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1674 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1675 warnings in other configurations.
1678 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1679 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1680 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1682 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1684 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1685 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1686 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1688 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1689 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1690 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1691 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1694 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1698 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1699 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1701 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1703 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1704 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1705 other than a simple chain.
1706 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1708 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1709 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1710 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1711 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1714 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1715 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1716 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1717 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1718 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1719 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1720 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1721 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1722 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1724 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1725 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1726 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1727 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1728 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1729 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1731 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1733 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1734 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1737 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1738 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1741 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1743 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1745 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1746 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1747 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1748 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1749 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1753 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1755 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1756 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1757 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1758 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1760 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1761 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1762 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1763 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1765 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1766 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1767 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1770 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1771 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1775 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1776 to handle some structures.
1779 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1781 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1783 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1786 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1789 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1792 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1793 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1797 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1799 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1801 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1803 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1806 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1807 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1808 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1809 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1811 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1812 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1814 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1815 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1818 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1819 s_client and s_server.
1822 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1823 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1825 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1826 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1828 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1829 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1830 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1831 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1832 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1835 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1837 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1838 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1841 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1842 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1845 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1846 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1847 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1848 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1850 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1851 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1853 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1855 *) Various precautionary measures:
1857 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1859 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1860 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1861 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1863 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1864 outside the expected range.
1866 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1869 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1871 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1872 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1873 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1875 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1878 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1881 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1883 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1886 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1887 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1888 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1890 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1893 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1894 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1895 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1899 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1901 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1902 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1903 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1904 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1906 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1907 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1910 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1912 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1913 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1914 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1916 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1918 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1919 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1920 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1921 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1924 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1925 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1926 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1927 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1928 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1929 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1930 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1932 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1934 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1935 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1936 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1937 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1938 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1940 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1941 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1943 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1944 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1945 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1946 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1947 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1949 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1951 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1952 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1953 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1954 sets may exist with different names.
1957 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1958 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1959 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1960 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1961 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1962 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1963 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1964 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1965 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1967 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1969 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1970 implemention in the following ways:
1972 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1975 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1976 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1977 ignored for embedded content.
1979 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1980 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1983 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1984 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1985 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1986 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1988 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1989 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1992 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1993 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1996 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1997 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1998 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1999 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2000 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2001 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2005 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2006 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2007 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]

2013 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2014 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2015 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2016 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,

2026 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2028 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2029 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2030 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2031 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2032 to s_client and s_server.
2035 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2037 *) Fix various bugs:
2038 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2039 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2040 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2041 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2042 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2044 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2046 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2047 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2048 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2049 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2050 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2051 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2052 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2053 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2056 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2057 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2058 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2061 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2062 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2063 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2066 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2067 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2070 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2071 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2072 with no application modification.
2074 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2075 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2077 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2078 or server extensions to be examined.
2080 This work was sponsored by Google.
2083 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2084 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2085 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2086 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2087 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2088 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2089 server_name extension.
2091 New functions (subject to change):
2093 SSL_get_servername()
2094 SSL_get_servername_type()
2097 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2099 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2100 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2101 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2102 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2103 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2105 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2107 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2108 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2109 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2110 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2111 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2112 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2115 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2117 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2120 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2123 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2124 (which previously caused an internal error).
2127 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2130 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2131 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2133 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2134 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2135 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2137 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2138 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2139 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2140 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2142 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2143 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2144 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2145 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2147 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2148 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2149 information. For detailed background information, see
2150 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2151 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2152 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2153 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2154 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2155 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2156 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2157 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2158 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2159 remove a conditional branch.
2161 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2162 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2163 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2164 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2165 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2166 remains as a deprecated alias.
2168 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2169 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2170 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2171 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2173 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2174 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2175 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2176 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2177 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2178 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2179 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2180 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2182 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2184 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2185 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2186 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2187 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2188 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2189 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2190 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2191 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2192 in a different context.
2195 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2196 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2197 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2200 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2201 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2202 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2204 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2206 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2207 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2208 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2209 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2210 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2213 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2214 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2215 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2216 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2217 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2218 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2221 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2222 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2223 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2224 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2225 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2228 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2229 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2231 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2232 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2233 Improve header file function name parsing.
2236 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2237 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2240 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2242 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2243 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2244 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2246 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2247 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2249 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2250 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2252 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2253 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2254 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2256 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2257 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2258 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2259 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2260 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2261 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2262 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2263 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2264 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2266 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2267 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2268 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2269 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2270 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2272 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2273 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2274 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2275 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2276 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2277 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2278 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2279 multiple values to extend the available space.
2283 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2285 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2286 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2288 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2291 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2292 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2293 undesirable limitations.
2294 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2296 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2297 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2298 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2299 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2300 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2301 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2302 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2305 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2307 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2308 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2309 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2311 The latter two were purportedly from
2312 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2315 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2316 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2317 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2320 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2321 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2324 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2325 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2326 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2327 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2329 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2330 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2331 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2334 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2335 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2336 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2337 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2338 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2339 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2342 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2344 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2345 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2348 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2349 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2351 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2352 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2353 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2354 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2357 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2358 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2361 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2362 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2363 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2364 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2365 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2366 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2367 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2371 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2372 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2373 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2374 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2377 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2378 under VC++ build system.
2381 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2382 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2385 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2387 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2388 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2389 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2390 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2391 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2393 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2394 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2395 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2397 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2400 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2401 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2404 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2405 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2407 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2410 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2411 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2413 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2414 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2417 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2418 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to

2424 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2427 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2430 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2431 key into the same file any more.
2434 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2437 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2438 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2440 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2441 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2444 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2445 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2446 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2447 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2448 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2449 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2451 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2452 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2453 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2456 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2457 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2458 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2459 - add new function for parameter creation
2460 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2461 BN_BLINDING parameters
2462 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2463 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2464 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2468 *) Add support for DTLS.
2469 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2471 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2472 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2475 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2476 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2479 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2480 the apps/openssl applications.
2483 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2484 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2485 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2488 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2489 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2491 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2492 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2494 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2495 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2496 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2497 avoid this algorithm.)
2501 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2502 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2503 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2506 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2507 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2510 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2511 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2512 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2515 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2517 The blank line is mandatory.
2521 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2522 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2526 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2527 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2529 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2530 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2531 to support policy checking and print out.
2534 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2535 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2536 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2537 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2539 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2542 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2543 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2545 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2546 implementation contributed by IBM.
2547 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2549 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2550 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2551 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2552 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2554 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2555 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2557 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2558 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2559 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2560 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2561 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2562 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2565 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2566 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2567 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2568 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2569 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2570 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2571 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2574 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2577 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2578 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2579 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2580 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2581 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2582 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2583 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2584 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2587 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2588 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2589 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2590 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2593 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2596 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2599 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2600 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2601 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2602 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2603 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2604 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2605 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2608 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2609 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2612 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2613 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2614 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2617 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2618 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2619 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2623 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2624 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2627 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2628 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2629 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2630 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2633 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2634 initialised value as BN_new().
2635 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2637 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2640 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2641 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2642 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2643 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2644 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2645 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2646 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2647 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2648 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2649 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2650 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2651 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2652 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2653 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2654 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2656 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2657 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2658 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2659 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2662 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2663 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2664 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2665 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2666 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2667 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2668 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2669 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2670 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2673 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2674 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2675 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2676 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2677 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2678 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2679 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2682 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2683 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2684 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2685 these have been updated also.
2688 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2689 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2690 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2691 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2692 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2696 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2697 structure of type "other".
2700 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2701 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2702 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2703 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2704 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2705 situation in the script.
2706 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2708 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2709 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2710 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2711 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2712 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2713 used as premaster secret.
2714 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2716 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2717 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2718 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2720 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2721 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2723 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2724 control of the error stack.
2727 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2730 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2731 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2732 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2733 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2736 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2737 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2738 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2741 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2742 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2743 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2747 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2748 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2749 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2750 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2753 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2754 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2755 the following flags are defined:
2757 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2758 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2759 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2762 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2763 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2764 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2765 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2769 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2770 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2771 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2772 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2773 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2776 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2777 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2778 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2781 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2782 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2783 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2784 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2785 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2786 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2789 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2793 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2796 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2799 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2802 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2803 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2804 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2805 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2806 default implementation more easily.
2809 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2813 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2814 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2817 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2818 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2819 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2820 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2822 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2823 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2824 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2825 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2828 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2829 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2833 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2834 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2835 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2836 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2837 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2838 scalar * generator).
2839 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2841 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2842 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2843 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2847 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2848 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2849 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2850 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2851 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2852 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2853 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2854 linker additions, eg;
2855 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2858 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2859 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2860 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2863 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2864 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2865 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2869 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2870 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2871 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2872 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2875 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2876 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2877 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2878 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2879 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2880 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2881 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2882 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2883 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2884 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2886 Example for using the new callback interface:
2888 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2892 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2894 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2895 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2896 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2897 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2898 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2899 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2904 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2905 available to TLS with the number defined in
2906 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2909 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2910 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2912 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2913 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2914 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2915 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2917 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2918 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2920 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2921 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2925 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2926 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2929 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2930 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2931 and a macro that behave like
2932 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2934 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2937 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2938 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2939 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2941 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2943 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2946 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2947 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2948 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2949 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2951 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2952 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2953 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2954 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2955 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2956 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2957 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2958 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2960 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2961 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2964 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2965 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2967 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2968 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2969 files while avoiding the low level API.
2971 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2972 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2973 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2974 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2976 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2977 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2978 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2979 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2980 instead of the low level API.
2983 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2984 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2985 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2986 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2987 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2990 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2991 down to the template encoder.
2994 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2995 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2998 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2999 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3000 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3001 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3003 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3004 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3006 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3007 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3009 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3010 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3013 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3014 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3015 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3018 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3019 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3021 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3022 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3024 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3025 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3028 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3032 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3033 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3034 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3035 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3036 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3037 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3039 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3040 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3043 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3044 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3045 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3046 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3047 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3048 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3049 various internal method names.)
3051 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3052 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3054 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3055 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3057 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3058 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3060 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3061 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3062 methods are undefined.
3064 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3065 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3067 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3068 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3069 length of the modulus.
3071 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3072 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3074 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3075 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3077 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3078 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3080 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3081 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3082 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3085 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3086 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3087 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3088 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3090 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3091 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3092 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3093 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3095 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3096 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3098 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3099 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3100 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3101 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3102 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3104 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3105 This applies to the following functions:
3110 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3111 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3113 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3114 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3118 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3123 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3125 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3126 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3127 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3128 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3129 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3131 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3132 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3134 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3135 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3136 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3138 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3139 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3141 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3142 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3143 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3144 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3145 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3147 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3149 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3150 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3151 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3152 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3153 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3154 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3155 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3156 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3157 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3158 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3159 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3160 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3162 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3165 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3166 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3167 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3168 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3170 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3171 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3172 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3173 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3178 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3179 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3180 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3181 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3182 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3184 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3185 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3186 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3187 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3188 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3189 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3190 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3191 adding different types of curves.
3192 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3194 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3195 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3196 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3199 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3200 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3202 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3203 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3204 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3205 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3207 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3209 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3210 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3212 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3213 library. Most notably,
3214 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3215 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3216 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3217 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3218 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3219 extracted before the specific public key;
3220 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3221 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3223 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3224 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3226 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3227 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3228 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3229 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3231 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3232 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3233 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3235 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3236 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3237 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3238 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3239 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3240 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3244 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3246 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3248 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3250 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3251 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3252 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3255 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3256 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3257 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3260 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3263 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3264 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3267 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3268 run algorithm test programs.
3271 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3274 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3275 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3276 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3277 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3278 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3281 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3282 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3285 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3287 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3288 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3289 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3291 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3292 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3294 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3295 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3297 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3298 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3299 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3301 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3302 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3303 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3304 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3305 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3306 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3307 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3310 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3312 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3313 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3315 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3316 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3317 undesirable limitations.
3318 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3320 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3322 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3323 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3324 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3326 The latter two were purportedly from
3327 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3330 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3331 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3332 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3335 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3336 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3339 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3341 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3342 module in FIPS mode.
3345 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3348 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3349 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3350 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3351 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3354 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3356 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3357 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3358 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3359 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3360 the difference induced by this change.
3363 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3365 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3366 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3367 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3368 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3369 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3371 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3372 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3373 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3375 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3376 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3379 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3380 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3381 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3382 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3386 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3387 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3388 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3389 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3390 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3392 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3393 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3394 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3395 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3396 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3397 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3399 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3401 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3402 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3403 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3404 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3405 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3408 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3412 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3413 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3414 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3417 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3418 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3419 structures constant.
3422 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3424 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3427 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3428 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3429 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3430 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3431 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3432 some needed definitions.
3435 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3438 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3439 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3440 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3441 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3444 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3446 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3447 server and client random values. Previously
3448 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3449 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3451 This change has negligible security impact because:
3453 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3456 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3459 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3460 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3463 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3466 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3468 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3471 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3472 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3473 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3475 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3478 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3479 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3482 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3483 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3484 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3486 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3489 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3490 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3491 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3495 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3496 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3497 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3498 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3500 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3501 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3502 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3503 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3507 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3509 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3510 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3511 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3512 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3513 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3516 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3519 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3520 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3522 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3523 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3524 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3525 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3526 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3527 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3528 rather than being initialized to 1.
3531 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3533 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3534 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3535 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3537 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3539 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3541 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3542 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3543 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3544 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3545 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3546 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3549 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3550 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3551 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3552 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3553 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3557 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3558 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3559 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3560 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3561 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3564 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3565 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3566 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3570 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3571 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3573 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3576 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3578 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3580 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3581 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3583 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3585 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3586 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3590 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3591 exiting on the first error in a request.
3594 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3595 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3599 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3600 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3601 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3602 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3604 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3605 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3608 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3609 blocks during encryption.
3612 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3613 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3614 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3615 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3619 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3620 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3621 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3622 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3623 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3627 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3629 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3630 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3631 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3632 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3635 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3636 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3637 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3638 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3639 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3641 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3642 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3643 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3644 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3645 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3646 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3647 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3648 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3649 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3652 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3653 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3654 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3655 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3658 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3659 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3662 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3664 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3665 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3666 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3667 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3668 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3670 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3671 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3672 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3674 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3675 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3676 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3677 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3678 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3680 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3681 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3682 used by default when no-err is given.
3685 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3686 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3688 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3689 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3690 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3691 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3692 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3694 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3695 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3696 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3697 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3699 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3701 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3703 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3705 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3706 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3707 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3708 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3712 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3713 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3715 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3716 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3719 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3720 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3721 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3722 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3725 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3726 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3727 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3728 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3729 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3730 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3731 followup to PR #377.
3734 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3735 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3738 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3739 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3740 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
3741 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
3743 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
3745 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3748 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3749 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3750 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3751 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
3753 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3757 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
3758 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
3762 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3763 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3764 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3765 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3766 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3767 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3769 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3770 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3771 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3772 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3773 have to be made anyway).
3776 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3777 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3778 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3781 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3782 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3783 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3786 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3787 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3788 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3790 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3791 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3792 edit numbers of the version.
3793 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3795 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3796 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
3797 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
3799 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
3800 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3802 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3803 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3804 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3806 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
3807 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3809 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
3810 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3812 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
3813 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3815 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
3816 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3818 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
3820 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3822 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
3823 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
3824 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3826 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
3827 representations in a platform independent manner.
3828 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3830 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3831 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3832 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3834 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
3836 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3838 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
3839 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3841 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
3843 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3845 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
3846 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.

3849 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
3851 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3853 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
3854 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3856 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
3857 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3859 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
3860 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3862 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
3863 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3865 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
3867 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3869 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
3870 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3872 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.

3875 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
3876 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
3878 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3880 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
3881 the 0.9.6 release series:
3883 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3884 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
3886 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3888 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
3891 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3892 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
3894 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3895 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3897 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3898 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3899 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3900 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3902 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3903 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3904 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3906 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3907 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3908 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3909 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3911 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3912 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3913 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3916 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3917 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3918 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3919 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3920 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3921 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3922 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3923 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3926 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3927 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3928 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3931 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3932 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3933 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3934 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3935 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3937 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3938 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3940 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3941 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3944 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3945 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3946 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3947 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3948 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3949 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3952 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3953 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3954 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3957 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3958 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3961 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3962 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3963 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3964 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3965 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3966 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3967 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3970 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3971 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3972 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3973 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3974 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3975 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3978 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3979 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3980 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3981 declaration has been changed from
3984 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3985 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3986 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3987 has been changed into
3988 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3990 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3991 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3992 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3994 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3995 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3997 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3998 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3999 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4000 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4001 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4002 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4003 always load it have also been added.
4006 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4007 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4008 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4010 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4012 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4013 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4014 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4016 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4017 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4018 command line option can be used to specify an
4022 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4023 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4026 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4027 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4028 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4031 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4032 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4033 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4034 to work with the new engine framework.
4035 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4037 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4038 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4039 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4040 to work with the new engine framework.
4043 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4044 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4045 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4047 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4048 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4050 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4051 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4052 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4053 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4055 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4057 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4058 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4060 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4061 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4063 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4064 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4065 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4068 *) Add new functions
4070 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4071 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4072 These are similar to
4075 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4076 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4077 still in the error queue.
4078 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4080 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4082 default_algorithms = ALL
4083 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4086 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4089 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4092 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4093 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4094 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4095 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4097 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4098 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4100 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4101 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4103 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4104 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4107 *) New functions/macros
4109 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4110 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4111 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4112 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4114 to request calling a callback function
4116 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4117 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4119 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4120 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4121 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4122 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4123 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4124 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4125 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4126 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4127 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4128 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4130 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4131 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4134 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4135 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4136 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4137 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4138 the configuration scripts.
4140 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4141 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4142 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4144 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4145 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4147 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4148 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4149 when reusing an existing buffer.
4152 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4153 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4156 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4157 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4160 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4161 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4162 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4163 has the same effect.
4164 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4166 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4167 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4168 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4169 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4170 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4171 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4174 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4175 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4176 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4177 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4179 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4180 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4181 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4182 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4184 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4185 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4188 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4189 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4190 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4191 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4192 default), and then completely removed.
4195 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4196 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4197 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4198 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4199 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4200 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4201 particular extension is supported.
4204 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4205 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4208 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4209 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4210 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4211 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4212 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4213 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4214 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4215 requires the destination to be valid.
4217 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4218 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4221 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4222 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4223 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4226 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4227 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4229 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4230 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4231 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4232 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4233 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4234 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4235 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4236 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4237 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4238 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4239 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4240 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4241 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4242 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4243 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4244 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4245 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4246 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4247 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4251 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4254 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4255 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4256 become part of libeay.num as well.
4259 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4260 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4261 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4262 false once a handshake has been completed.
4263 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4264 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4265 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4266 client has followed the request.)
4269 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4270 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4271 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4272 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4274 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4275 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4276 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4279 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4282 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4283 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4284 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4287 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4288 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4291 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4292 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4293 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4294 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4297 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4298 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4299 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4300 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4301 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4302 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4305 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4306 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4307 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4308 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4309 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4310 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4311 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4312 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4315 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4316 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4319 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4322 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4323 md_data void pointer.
4326 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4327 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4328 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4329 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4330 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4331 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4334 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4335 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4336 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4337 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4338 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4339 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4340 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4341 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4342 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4343 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4344 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4345 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4346 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4347 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4348 rather than letting it slide.
4350 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4351 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4352 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4355 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4356 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4357 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4358 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4359 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4360 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4361 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4362 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4363 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4366 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4367 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4368 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4369 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4370 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4372 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4375 *) Add EVP test program.
4378 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4381 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4382 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4383 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4384 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4385 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4388 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4389 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4390 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4391 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4392 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4393 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4394 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4396 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4397 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4398 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4403 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4404 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4405 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4406 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4407 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4411 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4412 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4413 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4414 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4417 des_key_schedule ks;
4419 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4420 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4422 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4425 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4426 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4427 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4428 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4429 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4430 functions prevents this.
4433 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4436 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4437 correct _ecb suffix.
4440 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4441 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4442 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4443 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4444 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4447 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4450 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4451 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4452 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4453 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4455 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4456 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4458 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4459 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4460 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4461 via Richard Levitte]
4463 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4464 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4465 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4466 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4469 *) Speed up EVP routines.
4472 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

4487 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4488 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4490 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4491 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4492 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4493 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4494 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4495 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4498 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4499 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4502 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4503 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4504 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4505 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4507 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4508 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4509 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4510 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4511 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4512 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4516 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4517 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4518 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4519 and interrupts/cancellations.
4522 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4523 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4526 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4527 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4528 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4530 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4531 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4535 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4536 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4537 than this minimum value is recommended.
4540 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4541 that are easily reachable.
4544 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4545 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4547 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4549 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4550 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4551 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4552 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4555 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4556 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4557 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4560 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4561 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4562 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4563 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4564 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4565 internally such as S/MIME.
4567 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
4568 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
4569 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
4571 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
4575 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
4576 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
4577 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
4578 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
4580 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4582 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
4584 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
4585 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4586 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4590 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4591 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4592 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4593 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4594 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4595 a window system and the like.
4598 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4599 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4602 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4603 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4604 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4605 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4606 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4607 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4608 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4609 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4610 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4614 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4615 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4619 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4620 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4621 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4622 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4623 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4624 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4625 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4626 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4629 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4630 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4631 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4632 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4633 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4634 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4635 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4636 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4637 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4638 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4639 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4640 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4641 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4642 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4643 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4644 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4645 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4648 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4649 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4650 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4651 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4652 internal engine_int.h header.
4655 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4656 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4657 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4658 modify their own ones).
4661 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4662 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4663 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4664 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4665 later on via ctrl() commands.
4666 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4667 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4668 structural references.
4669 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
4670 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
4671 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
4672 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
4673 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
4674 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
4675 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
4676 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4677 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4678 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4679 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4680 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4683 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4684 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4685 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4686 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4687 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4688 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4689 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4690 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4693 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4694 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4697 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4698 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4701 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4702 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4703 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4704 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4705 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4706 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4707 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4710 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4711 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4712 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4713 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4714 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4716 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4717 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4721 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4723 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4724 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4725 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4727 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4728 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4730 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4731 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4732 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4734 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4735 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4737 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4738 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4740 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4742 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4743 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4744 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4747 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4748 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4751 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4752 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4753 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4754 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4755 is 40 of more characters long.
4758 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4759 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4763 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4764 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4767 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4768 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4772 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4774 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4775 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4778 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4780 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4781 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4782 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4784 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4785 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4787 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4790 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4794 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4795 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4796 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4797 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4799 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4801 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4802 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4804 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4805 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4806 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4807 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4808 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4809 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4811 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4812 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4814 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4815 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4817 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4818 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4820 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4821 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4822 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4823 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4825 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4826 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4828 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4829 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4831 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4832 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4833 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4834 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4835 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4838 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4839 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4840 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4841 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4844 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4845 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4846 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4850 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4851 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4852 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4853 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4854 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4855 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4856 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4857 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4861 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4862 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4865 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4866 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4867 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4868 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4871 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4872 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4873 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4874 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4875 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4876 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4877 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4878 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4879 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4880 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4883 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4884 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4885 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4886 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4887 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4888 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4889 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4890 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4892 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4893 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4894 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4895 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4898 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4899 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4900 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4901 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4903 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4904 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4905 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4906 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4907 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4911 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4912 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4913 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4914 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4918 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4919 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4920 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4923 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4924 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4925 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4926 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4927 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4930 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4933 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4934 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4935 option to ocsp utility.
4938 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4939 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4940 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4941 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4942 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4943 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4944 the request is nonce-less.
4947 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4948 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4949 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4952 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4953 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4954 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4957 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4958 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4959 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4960 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4961 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4964 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4965 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4969 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4970 additional certificates supplied.
4973 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4974 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4978 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4979 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4982 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4983 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4984 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4985 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4986 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4987 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4988 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4989 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4990 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4992 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4993 request to response.
4996 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4997 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4998 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4999 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5000 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5001 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5002 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5003 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5004 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5005 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5006 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5009 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5010 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5011 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5012 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5015 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5016 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5018 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5019 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5020 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5023 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5024 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5025 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5026 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5027 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5029 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5030 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5031 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5034 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5035 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5036 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5037 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5038 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5039 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5040 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5041 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5043 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5044 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5045 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5046 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5047 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5048 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5051 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5052 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5053 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5054 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5055 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5056 printout format cleaned up.
5059 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5060 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5061 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5062 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5063 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5064 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5065 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5066 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5069 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5070 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5071 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5072 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5073 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5074 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5075 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5076 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5079 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5080 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5081 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5082 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5084 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5086 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5087 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5088 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5089 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5092 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5093 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5094 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5095 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5097 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5099 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5100 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5101 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5102 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5104 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5105 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5107 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5108 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5109 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5112 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5113 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5114 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5117 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5118 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5119 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5120 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5121 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5122 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5123 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5124 functions are provided:
5126 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5127 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5128 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5129 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5131 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5132 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5133 extended allocation function is enabled.
5134 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5135 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5136 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5138 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5139 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5140 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5141 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5142 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5145 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5146 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5147 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5149 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5150 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5151 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5154 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5155 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5156 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5157 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5158 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5159 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5160 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5161 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5162 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5165 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5166 provide utility functions which an application needing
5167 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5168 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5169 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5171 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5172 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5173 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5174 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5175 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5176 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5177 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5178 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5179 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5181 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5182 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5183 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5184 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5187 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5188 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5189 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5190 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5191 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5192 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5193 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5194 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5195 will be added elsewhere.
5198 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5199 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5200 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5201 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5204 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5205 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5206 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5207 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5208 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5209 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5210 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5211 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5212 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5213 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5214 to produce the required SET OF.
5217 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5218 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5219 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5222 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5223 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5224 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5225 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5226 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5227 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5230 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5231 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5232 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5235 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5236 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5237 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5240 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5241 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5242 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5243 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5244 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5247 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5248 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5251 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5252 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5253 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5254 certifcates and CRLs.
5257 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5258 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5259 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5262 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5263 entries for variables.
5266 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5267 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5268 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5269 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5272 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5273 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5274 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5275 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5276 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5277 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5280 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5281 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5283 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5284 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5285 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5288 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5292 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5293 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5294 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5295 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5296 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5297 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5300 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5303 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5304 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5305 for now but they will eventually go away.
5308 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5309 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5310 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5311 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5312 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5313 has also been converted to the new form.
5316 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5317 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5318 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5319 for negative moduli.
5322 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5323 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5326 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5330 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5331 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5332 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5333 type-specific callbacks.
5336 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5338 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5339 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5341 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5342 in sections depending on the subject.
5345 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5349 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5350 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5351 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5352 be handled deterministically).
5353 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5355 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5356 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5357 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5360 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5363 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5364 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5365 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5366 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5367 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5370 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5371 sign of the number in question.
5373 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5375 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5376 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5377 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5378 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5379 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5382 *) New function BN_swap.
5385 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5386 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5387 results on negative inputs.
5390 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5391 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5392 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5395 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5396 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5397 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5398 and add new functions:
5407 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5411 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5413 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5414 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5416 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5417 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5418 be reduced modulo m.
5419 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5422 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5423 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5424 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5426 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5427 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5428 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5429 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5430 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5431 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5436 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5437 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5438 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5439 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5440 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5442 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5443 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5444 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5448 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5451 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5452 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5455 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5456 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5457 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5458 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5462 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5465 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5468 *) Add the following functions:
5470 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5472 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5474 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5476 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5477 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5478 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5479 libraries unless it's really needed.
5481 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5482 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5483 declarations (they differed!).
5486 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5489 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5492 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5495 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5496 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5499 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5500 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5501 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5503 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5504 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5507 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5510 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5513 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5516 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5517 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5518 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5520 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5521 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5522 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5523 different shared library filenames on each system.
5526 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5529 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5530 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5531 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5533 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5536 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5537 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5538 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5539 binary backward compatibility.
5540 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5541 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5542 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5546 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5547 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5548 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5549 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5553 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5556 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5557 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5558 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5559 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5563 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5566 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
5568 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5569 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5570 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5572 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
5574 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
5576 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
5577 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
5580 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
5582 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5584 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5585 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5587 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5588 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5592 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5593 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5597 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5598 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5599 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5600 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5602 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5603 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5606 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5608 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5609 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5610 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5611 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5614 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5615 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5616 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5617 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5618 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5620 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5621 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5622 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5623 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5624 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5625 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5626 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5627 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5628 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5631 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5633 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5634 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5635 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5636 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5637 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5639 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5640 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5641 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5643 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5645 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5646 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5647 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5648 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5649 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5650 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5653 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5654 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5655 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5656 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5657 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5660 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5661 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5662 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5664 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5665 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5666 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
5670 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
5671 being properly terminated.
5674 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
5675 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
5676 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
5677 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
5679 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
5680 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
5681 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
5682 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
5683 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
5684 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
5685 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
5687 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5689 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5690 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5693 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5694 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5695 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
5696 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
5697 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
5698 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
5699 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
5700 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
5702 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5703 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5704 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5705 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5706 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5708 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5709 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5712 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5714 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5715 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5716 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5718 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5720 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5721 and get fix the header length calculation.
5722 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5723 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5726 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5727 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5728 assertions could call abort()).
5729 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5731 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5733 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5734 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5735 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5737 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5739 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5740 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5741 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5744 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5748 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5749 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5750 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5752 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5753 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5754 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5755 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5756 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5760 *) Changes in security patch:
5762 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5763 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5764 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5767 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5768 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5769 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5770 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5771 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5773 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
5775 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5777 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5778 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5779 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
5781 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5782 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5783 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5785 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5786 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5787 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5789 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5791 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5792 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5793 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5795 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5796 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5798 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5799 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5800 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5801 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5802 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5803 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5806 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5807 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5808 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5809 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5812 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5815 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5816 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5817 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5818 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5819 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5820 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5822 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5823 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5824 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5825 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5826 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5829 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5830 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5831 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5832 BN_generate_prime().)
5834 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5835 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5836 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5840 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5841 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5844 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5845 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5846 when using non-blocking I/O.
5847 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5849 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5850 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5852 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5853 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5856 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5857 configuration for the versions before that.
5858 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5860 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5861 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5862 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5863 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5866 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5867 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5868 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5871 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5875 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5876 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5877 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5879 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5880 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5882 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5883 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5884 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5885 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5886 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5887 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5888 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5891 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5892 using a local variable.
5893 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5895 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5896 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5897 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5899 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5902 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5903 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5905 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5906 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5907 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5909 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5911 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5912 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5913 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5914 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5917 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5921 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5922 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5923 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5924 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5925 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5927 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5928 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5929 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5931 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5932 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5933 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5935 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5936 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5937 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5938 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5940 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5941 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5942 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5944 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5946 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5947 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5949 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5951 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5952 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5953 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5954 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5956 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5957 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5958 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5959 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5961 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5962 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5964 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5965 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5966 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5969 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5970 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5971 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5973 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5975 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5976 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5977 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5978 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5979 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5980 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5981 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5984 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5985 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5986 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5987 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5989 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5990 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5991 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5992 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5993 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5994 the client will at least see that alert.
5997 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6001 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6002 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6003 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6005 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6006 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6007 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6008 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6011 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6012 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6013 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6015 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6016 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6017 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6018 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6019 may leak via logfiles.)
6021 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6022 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6023 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6024 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6028 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6029 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6032 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6033 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6034 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6035 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6036 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6039 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6040 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6042 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6043 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6044 followed by modular reduction.
6045 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6047 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6048 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6051 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6052 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6053 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6054 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6057 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6060 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6061 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6064 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6065 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6066 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6067 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6068 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6069 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6071 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6073 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6074 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6075 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6076 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6077 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6079 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6082 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6083 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6084 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6085 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6086 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6087 to allow the necessary settings.
6090 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6091 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6092 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6093 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6096 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6097 dh->length and always used
6099 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6101 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6102 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6103 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6104 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6105 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6110 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6112 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6118 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6119 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6120 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6121 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6123 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6124 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6125 always reject numbers >= n.
6128 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6129 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6130 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6131 variable) is not atomic.
6134 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6135 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6136 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6137 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6139 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6140 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6142 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6144 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6146 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6149 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6151 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6152 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6153 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6154 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6155 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6156 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6157 to traverse all of 'state'.
6159 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6160 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6161 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6163 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6164 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6166 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6167 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6168 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6169 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6170 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6171 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6172 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6173 further strengthens the PRNG.
6176 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6179 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6180 an error message in this case.
6183 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6186 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6187 positive and less than q.
6190 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6191 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6193 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6195 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6196 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6200 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6202 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6203 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6204 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6205 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6206 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6207 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6208 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6211 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6212 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6213 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6214 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6216 Both problems are now fixed.
6219 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6220 (previously it was 1024).
6223 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6224 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6227 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6230 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6231 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6232 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6235 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6236 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6237 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6238 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6239 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6240 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6241 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6242 environment variables.
6244 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6245 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6246 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6249 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6250 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6251 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6252 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6253 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6254 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6257 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6261 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6263 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6264 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6266 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6267 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6268 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6269 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6273 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6274 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6275 amount of data available.
6276 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6277 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6279 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6280 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6281 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6282 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6285 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6286 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6290 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6291 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6292 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6293 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6296 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6299 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6302 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6303 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6305 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6307 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6308 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6309 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6310 (but broken) behaviour.
6313 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6315 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6317 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6318 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6321 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6325 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6326 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6328 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6331 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6332 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6333 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6335 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6336 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6337 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6340 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6341 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6344 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6345 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6347 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6349 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6351 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6352 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6353 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6354 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6357 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6360 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6361 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6362 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6364 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6367 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6369 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6370 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6371 but the code is actually correct.
6374 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6375 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6376 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6377 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6378 and leaves the highest bit random.
6379 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6381 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6382 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6383 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6384 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6385 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6386 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6387 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6390 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6393 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6394 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6397 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6398 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6399 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6400 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6404 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6405 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6406 and break the signature.
6408 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6410 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6414 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6415 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6416 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6417 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6418 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6421 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6422 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6424 *) ./config script fixes.
6425 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6427 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6430 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6431 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6432 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6433 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6434 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6436 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6437 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6440 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6441 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6444 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6445 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6446 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6447 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6449 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6450 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6452 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6453 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6454 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6455 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6456 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6458 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6461 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6464 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6467 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6470 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6471 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6474 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6475 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6476 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6477 result of the server certificate verification.)
6480 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6481 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6482 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6486 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6487 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6488 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6489 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6490 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6491 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6492 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6493 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6496 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6497 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6498 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6499 happening the other way round.
6502 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6503 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6506 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6507 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6508 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6509 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6512 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6513 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6515 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6517 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6518 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6519 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6522 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6524 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6526 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6530 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6532 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6533 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6534 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6535 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6536 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6538 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6539 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6543 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6546 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6548 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6549 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6550 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6551 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6552 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6553 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6554 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6555 by the Finished messages.
6558 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6559 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6561 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6562 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6563 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6564 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6565 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
6569 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
6570 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
6571 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
6572 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
6573 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
6574 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
6575 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
6576 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
6577 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
6581 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
6582 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
6583 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
6584 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6586 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6587 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6588 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6589 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6590 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6593 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6594 been tested well enough.
6597 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6598 it can return incorrect results.
6599 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6600 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6603 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6604 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6605 include zero length content when signing messages.
6608 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6609 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6612 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6615 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6619 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6620 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6621 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6622 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6623 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6624 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6627 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6628 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6630 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6631 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6633 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6634 random number < q in the DSA library.
6637 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6638 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6639 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6640 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6641 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6642 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6643 just makes things more complicated.)
6646 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6650 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6651 work better on such systems.
6652 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6654 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6655 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6656 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6659 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6660 if there was more than one signature.
6661 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6663 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6664 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6665 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6666 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6669 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
6670 rather than always using the current time.
6673 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
6674 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
6675 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
6676 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
6677 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
6678 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
6680 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
6681 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
6683 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
6685 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
6686 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
6687 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
6688 the same hash value.
6690 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6691 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6692 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6693 with X509_STORE internally.
6695 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6696 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6698 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6699 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6700 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6701 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6702 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6703 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6704 entirely (maybe later...).
6706 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6708 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6709 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6710 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6711 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6712 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6713 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6714 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6715 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6717 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6718 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6720 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6721 to customise the verify behaviour.
6724 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6725 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6728 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6729 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6730 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6731 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6732 request is improperly encoded.
6735 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6736 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6739 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6740 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6742 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6743 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6747 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6748 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6749 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6752 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6753 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6754 BIO/fp routines also added.
6757 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6758 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6760 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6761 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6762 demos/state_machine.
6765 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6766 generation and verification.
6769 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6770 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6771 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6772 encode and decode it manually.
6775 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6777 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6779 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6780 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6781 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6782 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6784 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6785 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6786 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6787 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6788 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6791 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6794 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6795 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6796 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6798 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6799 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6800 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6801 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6802 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6803 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6804 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6805 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6807 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6808 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6810 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6812 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6813 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6814 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6818 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6819 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6820 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6821 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6825 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6827 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6830 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6831 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6832 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6833 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6834 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6835 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6836 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6837 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6838 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6839 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6840 short or long names are found.
6843 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6844 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6846 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6847 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6848 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6849 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6851 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6852 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6853 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6854 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6857 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6858 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6859 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6862 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6863 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6864 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6865 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6866 to allow the various flags to be set.
6869 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6870 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6871 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6872 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6873 dates to be checked.
6876 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6877 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6878 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6881 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6882 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6883 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6886 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6887 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6890 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6891 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6892 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6893 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6894 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6895 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6898 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6899 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6903 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6907 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6908 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6909 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6910 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6911 form signing output easier to verify.
6914 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6917 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6918 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6919 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6920 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6921 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6922 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6923 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6924 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6925 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6926 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6929 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6931 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6932 the syntax given in objects.README.
6933 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6935 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6938 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6939 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6940 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6941 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6942 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6943 consistent name changes.
6946 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6949 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6950 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6951 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6952 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6955 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6956 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6957 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6961 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6962 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6963 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6964 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6967 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6968 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6969 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6970 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6971 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6972 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6973 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6974 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6975 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6976 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6977 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6980 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6981 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6982 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6983 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6984 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6985 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6986 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6987 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6988 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6989 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6992 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6993 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6994 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6995 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6997 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6998 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6999 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7000 omit any duplicate addresses.
7003 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7004 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7007 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7008 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7009 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7010 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7011 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7014 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7016 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7017 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7018 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7019 Free => OPENSSL_free
7022 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7023 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7026 *) CygWin32 support.
7027 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7029 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7030 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7031 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7032 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7033 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7037 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7038 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7039 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7040 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7041 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7042 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7043 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7046 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7047 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7048 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7049 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7050 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7051 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7052 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7053 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7054 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7055 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7056 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7059 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7060 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7061 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7062 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7063 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7065 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7066 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7067 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7068 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7069 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7071 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7074 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7075 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7076 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7077 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7079 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7081 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7084 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7085 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7086 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7089 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7090 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7091 any installed hardware versions can.
7094 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7095 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7096 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7100 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7101 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7102 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7103 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7104 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7106 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7107 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7110 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7111 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7114 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7115 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7116 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7120 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7123 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7124 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7125 but no ssl client purpose.
7126 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7128 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7129 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7130 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7131 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7132 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7133 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7134 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7135 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7136 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7137 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7138 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7141 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7142 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7143 be obtained from the error queue.
7146 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7147 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7148 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7149 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7152 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7155 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7156 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7157 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7158 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7159 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7162 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7163 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7164 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7165 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7166 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7169 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7170 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7171 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7173 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7175 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7176 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7177 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7178 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7179 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7180 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7181 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7182 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7183 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7184 or "the configuration storage API"...
7186 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7188 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7189 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7191 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7193 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7195 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7196 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7197 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7198 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7199 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7200 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7201 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7203 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7204 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7207 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7208 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7209 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7210 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7213 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7214 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7215 them in a portable way.
7216 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7218 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7220 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7222 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7223 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7225 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7226 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7227 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7230 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7231 was larger than the MD block size.
7232 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7234 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7235 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7236 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7237 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7241 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7242 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7243 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7245 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7247 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7249 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7250 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7251 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7252 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7253 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7254 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7256 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7257 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7259 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7260 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7263 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7266 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7267 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7269 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7270 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7271 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7272 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7275 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7276 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7277 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7278 does not suppress any output.
7281 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7282 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7283 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7284 with all the associated security issues.
7286 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7287 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7288 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7289 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7290 use the value in the default purpose.
7293 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7294 and fix a memory leak.
7297 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7298 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7299 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7300 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7303 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7304 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7305 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7306 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7309 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7310 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7311 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7314 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7315 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7318 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7319 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7323 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7324 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7327 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7328 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7329 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7332 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7333 number generation fails.
7336 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7339 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7340 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7342 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7345 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7346 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7348 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7349 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7351 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7353 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7354 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7357 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7358 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7360 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7361 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7364 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7365 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7366 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7367 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7368 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7369 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7371 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7372 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7373 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7377 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7378 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7379 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7380 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7381 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7382 counter, some don't.)
7383 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7384 counters or duplicate objects.
7387 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7388 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7391 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7392 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7393 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7395 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7396 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7397 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7401 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7402 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7405 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7406 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7407 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7411 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7412 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7413 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7416 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7417 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7418 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7419 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7420 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7421 should work without changes.
7424 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7425 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7426 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7427 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7428 must be defined. E.g.,
7429 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7430 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7431 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7432 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7434 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7438 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7439 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7440 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7443 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7444 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7445 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7446 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7449 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7450 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7451 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7452 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7453 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7454 is prompted for as usual.
7457 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7458 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7459 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7460 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7462 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7463 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7464 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7465 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7468 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7471 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7475 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7478 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7481 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7485 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7488 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7491 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7492 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7495 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7496 options to produce them.
7499 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7500 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7503 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7507 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7508 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7509 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7510 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7511 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7512 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7513 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7516 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7519 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7520 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7521 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7524 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7525 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7527 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7528 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7531 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7532 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7533 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7537 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7538 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7540 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7541 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7542 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7543 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7544 generation becomes much faster.
7546 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7547 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7548 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7549 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7550 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7551 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7552 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7553 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7554 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7555 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7558 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7559 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7560 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7561 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7562 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7563 trial division stage.
7566 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
7570 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
7573 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
7576 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
7577 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
7578 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
7582 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
7583 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
7584 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7587 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7588 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7589 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7590 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7592 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7593 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7596 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7599 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7600 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7601 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7602 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7605 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7606 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7607 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7610 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7611 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7612 (instead of parameters) in future.
7615 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7616 when a new cipher list is set.
7619 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7620 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7623 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7624 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7625 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7627 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7628 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7629 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7630 an error is flagged.
7632 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7633 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7634 the readability was also increased :-)
7635 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7637 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7638 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7639 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7640 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7644 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7645 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7648 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7649 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7650 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7651 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7654 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7655 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7656 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7657 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7658 because they handle more complex structures.)
7661 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7662 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7663 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7664 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7666 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7667 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7668 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7669 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
7670 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
7671 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
7672 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
7675 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
7676 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
7677 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
7678 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
7679 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
7682 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
7685 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
7686 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
7687 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
7688 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7689 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7692 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7696 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7697 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7698 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7699 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7702 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7705 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7706 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7707 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7708 international characters are used.
7710 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7711 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7712 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7716 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7717 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7718 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7721 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7722 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7723 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7724 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7725 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7726 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7728 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7729 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7730 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7731 be handled by the string table functions.
7733 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7734 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7735 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7736 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7737 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7741 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7742 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7743 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7744 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7745 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7747 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7748 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7749 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7750 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7753 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7754 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7755 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7756 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7757 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7761 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7762 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7763 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7764 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7765 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7766 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7767 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7768 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7770 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7771 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7772 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7775 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7776 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7777 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7778 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7779 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7780 support to pkcs8 application.
7783 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7784 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7785 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7786 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7787 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7788 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7791 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7792 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7793 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7794 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7795 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7799 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7800 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7801 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7802 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7806 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7807 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7808 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7809 and any application specific purposes.
7811 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7812 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7813 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7814 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7815 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7816 if the certificate is self signed.
7819 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7820 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7823 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7824 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7825 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7826 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7829 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7830 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7831 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7832 Update documentation.
7835 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7836 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7837 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7838 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7839 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7842 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7844 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7846 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7847 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7848 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7849 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7850 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7851 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7852 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7853 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7854 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7855 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7857 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7859 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7860 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7861 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7862 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7863 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7865 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7866 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7867 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7868 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7869 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7870 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7871 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7872 request additional information:
7873 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7874 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7876 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7877 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7878 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7881 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7882 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7885 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7888 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7889 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7891 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7892 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7893 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7897 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7898 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7899 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7901 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7902 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7903 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7904 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7905 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7906 included in OpenSSL.
7909 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7910 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7911 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7912 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7913 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7914 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7917 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7921 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7922 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7923 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7924 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7925 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7929 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7933 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7934 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7935 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7936 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7937 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7938 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7939 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7940 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7941 be maintained manually.
7943 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7944 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7945 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7946 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7947 work because people forget to call this function]
7948 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7949 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7950 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7953 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7954 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7955 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7956 should be discouraged from doing it.
7959 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7960 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7961 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7962 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7963 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7964 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7967 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7968 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7969 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7971 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7972 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7973 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7975 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7976 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7977 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7978 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7979 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7980 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7982 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7983 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7984 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7986 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7987 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7990 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7991 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7992 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7993 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7996 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7999 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8000 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8001 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8002 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8003 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8004 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8005 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8006 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8007 keys so we should be OK.
8009 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8010 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8011 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8012 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8013 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8014 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8015 stay in the name of compatibility.
8017 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8018 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8019 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8021 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8022 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8023 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8024 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8025 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8026 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8030 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8031 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8032 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8033 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8034 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8035 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8036 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8037 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8038 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8039 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8040 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8041 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8042 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8045 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8048 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8049 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8050 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8051 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8052 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8053 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8054 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8055 openssl verify ss.pem
8056 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8057 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8061 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8062 (and add it to external session representation).
8063 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8064 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8065 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8066 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8067 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8068 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8070 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8072 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8073 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8074 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8075 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8077 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8078 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8079 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8082 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8083 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8084 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8088 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8089 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8090 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8092 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8093 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8094 certificate auxiliary information.
8097 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8101 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8102 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8103 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8104 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8105 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8106 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8107 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8110 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8111 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8114 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8115 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8116 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8117 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8120 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8123 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8124 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8127 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8128 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8129 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8130 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8131 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8132 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8133 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8134 using the new 'x509' options.
8136 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8137 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8138 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8139 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8143 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8144 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8145 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8146 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8147 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8150 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8151 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8152 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8153 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8154 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8155 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8156 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8157 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8158 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8159 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8162 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8163 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8164 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8165 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8166 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8167 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8168 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8171 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8172 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8173 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8174 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8175 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8176 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8177 openssl.cnf for more info.
8180 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8181 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8182 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8183 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8184 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8185 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8186 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8187 md should be large enough anyway.
8190 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8191 for handling the random seed file.
8193 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8195 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8198 x509 (when signing).
8199 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8200 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8201 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8203 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8204 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8205 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8206 that support '-rand'.
8209 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8210 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8213 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8214 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8217 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8218 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8219 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8220 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8224 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8225 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8226 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8227 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8230 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8231 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8232 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8233 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8234 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8235 print out all the purposes.
8238 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8242 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8243 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8244 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8245 single function call.
8248 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8249 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8252 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8253 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8254 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8257 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8258 when producing the local key id.
8259 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8261 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8262 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8263 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8267 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8268 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8269 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8270 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8273 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8274 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8275 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8276 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8278 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8279 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8280 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8281 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8283 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8284 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8285 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8286 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8287 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8288 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8289 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8290 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8291 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8292 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8293 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8294 trivial: move one line.
8295 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8297 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8298 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8299 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8300 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8301 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8302 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8303 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8304 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8305 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8306 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8307 with an event loop for example.
8310 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8311 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8312 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8313 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8314 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8315 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8316 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8317 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8318 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8321 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8322 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8323 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8324 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8325 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8326 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8329 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8330 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8331 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8332 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8334 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8335 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8336 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8337 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8341 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8342 (still largely untested)
8345 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8346 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8349 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8350 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8353 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8354 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8355 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8358 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8359 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8360 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8361 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8362 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8365 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8368 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8369 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8370 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8371 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8372 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8376 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8377 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8380 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8383 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8384 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8385 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8386 are otherwise ignored at present.
8389 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8390 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8391 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8392 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8393 copied until the next read.
8396 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8397 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8398 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8401 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8402 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8403 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8404 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8405 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8406 associated functions.
8409 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8410 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8411 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8412 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8413 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8414 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8415 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8416 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8417 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8421 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8422 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8423 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8424 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8427 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8428 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8429 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8430 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8431 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8435 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8436 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8440 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8441 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8442 extensions to be obtained and added.
8445 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8446 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8449 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8451 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8452 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8454 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8455 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8457 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8461 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8462 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8463 DH parameters contain its length).
8465 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8466 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8467 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8468 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8469 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8470 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8471 utter importance to use
8472 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8474 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8475 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8476 attacks may become possible!
8479 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8482 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8483 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8486 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8487 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8488 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8492 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8493 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8494 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8495 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8496 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8497 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8498 private key operations.
8501 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8504 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8505 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8507 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8508 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8509 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8510 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8511 the password callback is called.
8512 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8514 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8516 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8517 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8518 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8519 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8520 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8521 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8524 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8525 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8526 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8527 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8528 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8529 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8532 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8535 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8536 delete an unused file.
8539 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8540 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8541 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8542 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8545 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8546 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8547 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8551 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8552 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8553 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8555 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8556 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8557 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8558 comparison" warnings.
8559 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8562 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8563 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8564 derived keys are printed to stderr.
8567 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
8568 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
8570 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
8571 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
8573 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
8574 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
8575 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
8577 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
8578 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
8579 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
8580 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
8581 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
8583 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
8585 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8586 The interface is as follows:
8587 Applications can use
8588 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8589 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8590 "off" is now the default.
8591 The library internally uses
8592 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8593 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8594 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8596 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8597 even the default) are now avoided.
8599 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8600 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8601 than just having a counter.
8603 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8605 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8609 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8610 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8611 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8612 Initial "mode" flags are:
8614 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8615 a single record has been written.
8616 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8617 retries use the same buffer location.
8618 (But all of the contents must be
8622 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8625 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8626 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8628 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8629 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8630 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8633 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8634 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8636 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8638 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8639 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8640 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8641 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8643 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8644 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8646 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8647 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8648 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8649 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8650 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8651 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8654 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8655 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8656 necessary function names.
8659 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8660 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8661 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8662 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8665 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8666 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8667 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
8670 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
8671 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
8672 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
8673 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
8675 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
8679 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
8680 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
8681 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
8684 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
8685 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8689 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8690 for the encoded length.
8691 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8693 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8696 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8697 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8698 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8699 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8702 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8703 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8704 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8706 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8707 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8708 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8712 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8713 to use the new extension code.
8716 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8717 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8718 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8722 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8723 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8724 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8728 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8731 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8732 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8733 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8736 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8737 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8738 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8739 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8742 *) DES library cleanups.
8745 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8746 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8747 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8748 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8749 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8753 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8754 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8757 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8758 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8759 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8760 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8761 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8762 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8763 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8764 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8765 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8768 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8769 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8770 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8771 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8772 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8773 value doesn't matter.
8776 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8780 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8781 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8782 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8783 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8785 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8788 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8789 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8790 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8792 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8793 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8795 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8798 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8801 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8804 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8808 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8810 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8812 *) Updated some demos.
8813 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8815 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8818 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8821 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8824 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8825 instead of using a fixed path.
8828 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8831 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8835 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8837 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8838 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8839 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8841 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8842 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8843 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8844 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8845 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8846 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8847 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8848 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8849 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8850 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8853 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8854 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8857 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8858 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8859 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8860 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8861 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8863 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8866 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8867 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8868 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8871 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8874 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8875 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8876 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8877 key elements as negative integers.
8880 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8881 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8884 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8886 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8887 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8888 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8891 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8892 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8893 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8894 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8895 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8898 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8901 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8902 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8903 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8904 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8906 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8907 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8908 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8910 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8911 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8912 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8913 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8914 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8915 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8916 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8917 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8918 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8920 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8921 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8922 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8923 does not influence s as it used to.
8925 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8926 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8927 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8928 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8929 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8930 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8933 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8934 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8935 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8939 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8940 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8941 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8945 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8946 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8947 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8951 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8952 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8955 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8956 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8961 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8962 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8964 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8965 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8967 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8970 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8973 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8974 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8976 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8977 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8978 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8982 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8983 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8984 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8985 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8986 now it really counts the depth.
8989 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8990 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8991 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8992 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8993 didn't match the private key).
8995 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8996 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8997 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9000 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9003 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9007 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9008 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9009 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9012 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9015 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9016 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9017 such as /usr/local/bin.
9020 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9021 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9023 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9026 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9027 extension adding in x509 utility.
9030 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9033 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9037 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9040 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9041 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9042 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9043 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9044 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9045 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9046 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9047 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9048 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9049 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9052 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9055 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9056 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9059 *) Fix some race conditions.
9062 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9063 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9066 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9069 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9070 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9071 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9072 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9074 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9075 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9077 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9078 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9079 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9081 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9082 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9084 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9087 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9088 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9090 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9093 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9094 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9096 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9097 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9100 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9101 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9104 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9105 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9108 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9109 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9112 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9113 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9116 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9117 support typesafe stack.
9120 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9121 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9123 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9124 old X509V3 handling code.
9127 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9130 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9133 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9136 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9137 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9139 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9140 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9141 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9142 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9143 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9146 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9147 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9148 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9149 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9150 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9152 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9153 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9154 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9155 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9157 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9158 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9159 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9160 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9162 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9163 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9164 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9165 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9166 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9167 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9170 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9171 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9174 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9175 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9178 *) Tweaks to Configure
9179 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9181 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9185 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9188 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9189 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9192 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9193 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9194 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9197 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9200 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9201 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9204 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9205 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9206 to library startup routines.
9209 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9210 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9211 codes along the way.
9214 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9215 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9216 objects to objects.h
9219 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9220 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9223 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9224 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9226 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9227 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9228 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9230 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9231 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9232 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9234 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9235 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9236 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9239 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9241 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9242 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9245 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9246 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9247 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9248 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9249 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9251 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9252 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9253 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9255 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9257 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9259 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9261 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9262 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9264 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9265 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9266 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9267 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9269 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9272 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9273 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9274 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9275 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9278 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9279 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9280 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9283 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9284 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9285 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9286 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9287 installed as `perl').
9288 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9290 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9291 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9293 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9294 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9295 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9296 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9297 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9300 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9303 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9304 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9305 is horrible: I feel ill....
9308 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9309 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9310 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9311 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9314 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9315 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9317 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9318 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9319 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9320 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9322 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9323 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9324 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9325 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9326 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9327 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9329 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9331 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9332 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9334 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9335 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9337 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9340 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9341 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9345 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9346 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9347 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9348 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9349 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9350 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9351 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9352 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9353 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9354 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9355 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9357 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9360 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9361 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9362 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9363 for linking it into DSOs.
9364 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9366 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9370 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9371 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9372 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9373 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9374 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9375 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9377 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9378 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9379 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9380 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9381 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9382 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9383 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9385 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9386 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9387 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9391 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9392 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9393 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9394 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9397 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9398 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9399 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9400 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9401 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9405 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9406 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9407 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9408 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9409 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9411 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9412 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9413 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9415 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9416 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9418 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9419 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9420 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9421 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9422 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9425 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9426 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9427 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9428 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9429 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9430 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9431 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9434 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9436 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9437 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9440 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9441 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9443 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9444 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9447 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9448 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9449 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9450 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9451 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9453 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9454 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9455 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9456 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9457 no way to reconfigure them.
9458 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9459 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9460 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9461 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9462 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9463 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9465 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9466 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9467 recognized by the users.
9468 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9470 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9471 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9472 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9473 already masked variable.
9474 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9476 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9477 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9479 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9480 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9481 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9482 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9484 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9485 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9486 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9488 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9489 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9490 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9491 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9492 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9493 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9494 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9495 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9497 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9499 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9500 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9501 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9503 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9504 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9508 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9509 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9511 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9512 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9513 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9514 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9517 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9520 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9521 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9523 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9526 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9527 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9530 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9531 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9534 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9535 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9536 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9537 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9538 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9539 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9540 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9543 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9544 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9546 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9547 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9548 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9549 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9550 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9552 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9553 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9554 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9557 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9558 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9562 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9563 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9564 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9566 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
9567 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
9568 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
9572 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
9573 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
9574 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
9575 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
9578 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
9579 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
9580 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
9581 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
9584 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
9585 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9586 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9587 so it wasn't spotted.
9588 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9590 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9591 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9592 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9593 vectors if you have them.
9596 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9597 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9600 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9601 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9602 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9603 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9605 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9606 it will update them.
9609 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9610 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9611 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9612 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9613 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9614 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9615 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9616 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9618 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9619 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9620 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9621 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9622 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9623 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9624 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9625 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9626 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9627 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9629 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9630 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9631 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9632 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9633 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9636 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9640 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9641 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9643 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9644 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9646 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9647 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9650 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9651 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9653 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9654 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9656 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9659 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9663 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9664 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9665 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9666 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9668 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9671 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9674 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
9677 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
9678 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
9681 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
9682 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
9686 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
9687 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9690 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9691 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9692 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9695 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9696 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9697 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9698 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9699 properly to be processed.
9702 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9703 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9704 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9707 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9708 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9710 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9711 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9712 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9713 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9714 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9715 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9716 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9717 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9718 or delete all the .err files.
9721 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9722 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9723 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9724 to regenerate it if needed.
9725 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9726 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9728 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9729 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9731 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9732 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9733 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9734 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9735 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9738 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9739 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9741 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9742 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9744 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9745 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9746 error, but didn't set one).
9747 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9749 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9752 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9753 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9756 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9757 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9759 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9760 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9761 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9762 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9763 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9764 OID is not part of the table.
9767 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9768 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9771 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9774 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9775 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9779 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9780 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9782 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9784 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9786 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9787 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9789 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9790 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9792 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9793 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9795 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9796 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9799 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9800 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9803 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9804 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9806 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9807 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9809 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9810 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9812 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9813 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9815 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9816 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9817 unused in the certificate verification process.
9818 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9820 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9821 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9824 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9825 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9826 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9828 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9829 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9830 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9831 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9832 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9834 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9835 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9838 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9841 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9844 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9845 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9847 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9850 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9853 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9856 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9857 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9858 other error libraries.
9861 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9864 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9865 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9869 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9870 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9871 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9872 the new set of documenation files.
9873 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9875 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9876 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9877 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9878 number of arguments.
9879 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9881 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9884 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9885 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9886 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9888 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9891 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9895 unixware-2.0-pentium
9899 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9900 before they are needed.
9903 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9907 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9909 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9910 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9911 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9913 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9916 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9917 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9918 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9920 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9921 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9922 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9924 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9925 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9926 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9928 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9929 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9931 *) Updated the README file.
9932 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9934 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9935 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9936 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9938 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9939 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9940 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9942 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9943 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9944 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9945 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9946 o removed obsolete TODO file
9947 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9948 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9950 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9951 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9952 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
9953 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
9954 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
9955 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9956 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9958 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9961 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9962 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9963 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9965 [The OpenSSL Project]
9968 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9970 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9973 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9976 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9977 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9980 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9981 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9985 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9987 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9989 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9992 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9995 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9998 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10001 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10004 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10007 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10010 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10013 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10016 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10019 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10022 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10025 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10028 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10031 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10034 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10037 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10040 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10041 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10042 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10045 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10046 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10049 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10052 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10055 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10056 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10059 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
