5 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_diff to find the difference in days
8 and seconds between two tm structures. This will be used to provide
9 additional functionality for ASN1_TIME.
12 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
13 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
17 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
18 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
19 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
22 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
23 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
24 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
25 the appropriate parameters.
28 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
29 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
30 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
31 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
32 against a number of sample certificates.
35 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
36 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
38 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
39 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
41 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
42 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
46 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
47 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
50 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
51 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
52 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
53 setting is used: whether to trust or reject.
56 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
60 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
61 Add CMAC pkey methods.
64 *) Experiemental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
65 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
66 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
69 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
70 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
71 multi-process servers.
74 *) Experiemental password based recipient info support for CMS library:
78 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
79 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
80 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
84 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
85 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
86 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
87 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
88 RAND_METHOD structure.
91 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
92 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
93 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
94 whose return value is often ignored.
97 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
99 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
100 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
101 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
104 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
105 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
107 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
108 a few changes are required:
110 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
112 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
113 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
114 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
117 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [xx XXX xxxx]
120 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
124 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [xx XXX xxxx]
126 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
128 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
130 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
132 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
133 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
134 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
137 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
140 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
141 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
142 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
144 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
145 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
146 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
149 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
150 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
153 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
154 some responders need this.
157 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
159 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
161 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
162 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
163 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
166 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
169 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
170 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
171 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
172 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
173 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
174 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
175 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
176 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
179 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
180 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
181 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
182 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
184 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
185 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
187 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
191 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
192 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
193 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
194 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
195 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
196 attempting to work them out.
199 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
200 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
201 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
202 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
205 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
206 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
207 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
208 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
209 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
212 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
213 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
220 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
222 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
226 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
227 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
229 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
230 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
232 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
233 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
234 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
235 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
236 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
239 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
240 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
241 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
244 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
245 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
248 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
249 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
251 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
252 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
255 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
258 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
259 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
260 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
264 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
265 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
266 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
267 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
268 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
269 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
272 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
273 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
275 This work was sponsored by Google.
278 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
279 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
280 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
281 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
282 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
283 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
284 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
287 This work was sponsored by Google.
290 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
292 This work was sponsored by Google.
295 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
296 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
297 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
298 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
300 This work was sponsored by Google.
303 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
304 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
305 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
306 CRL functionality in future.
308 This work was sponsored by Google.
311 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
313 This work was sponsored by Google.
316 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
317 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
319 This work was sponsored by Google.
322 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
323 and URI types are currently supported.
325 This work was sponsored by Google.
328 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
329 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
330 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
331 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
332 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
333 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
334 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
335 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
337 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
338 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
339 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
341 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
342 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
343 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
344 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
346 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
347 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
348 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
349 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
350 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
351 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
352 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
353 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
355 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
357 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
358 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
359 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
361 This work was sponsored by Google.
364 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
367 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
368 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
369 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
372 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
373 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
376 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
377 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
380 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
381 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
382 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
383 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
384 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
385 content types and variants.
388 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
391 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
392 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
393 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
394 files from the associated perl scripts.
397 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
398 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
399 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
401 *) s390x assembler pack.
404 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
408 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
409 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
410 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
411 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
412 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
413 to use. For example, specify an option
415 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
417 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
418 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
419 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
420 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
421 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
422 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
424 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
425 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
426 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
427 return non-zero for success.
429 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
432 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
433 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
437 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
440 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
441 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
442 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
443 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
444 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
445 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
446 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
447 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
448 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
450 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
451 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
452 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
453 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
454 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
455 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
457 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
458 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
459 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
460 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
461 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
462 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
466 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
469 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
471 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
472 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
473 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
476 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
477 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
480 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
481 protection in servers so again support should be possible
482 with no application modification.
484 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
485 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
487 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
488 or server extensions to be examined.
490 This work was sponsored by Google.
493 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
494 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
495 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
497 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
498 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
500 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
502 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
503 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
504 to output in BER and PEM format.
507 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
508 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
509 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
510 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
511 -macopt options to dgst utility.
514 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
515 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
516 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
520 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
521 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
522 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
523 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
524 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
525 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
526 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
527 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
530 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
531 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
532 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
533 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
535 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
536 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
537 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
541 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
542 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
543 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
544 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
545 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
546 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
547 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
548 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
549 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
551 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
552 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
553 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
554 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
555 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
556 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
557 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
558 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
559 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
560 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
561 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
564 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
565 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
566 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
568 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
569 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
573 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
574 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
575 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
578 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
579 it yet and it is largely untested.
582 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
585 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
586 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
587 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
590 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
593 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
594 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
595 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
596 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
599 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
600 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
601 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
602 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
603 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
606 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
607 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
610 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
611 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
612 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
613 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
616 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
617 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
618 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
619 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
622 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
623 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
626 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
627 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
628 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
629 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
632 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
633 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
634 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
637 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
641 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
642 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
645 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
646 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
647 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
651 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
652 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
653 to free up any added signature OIDs.
656 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
657 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
658 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
659 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
662 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
663 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
664 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
665 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
666 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
667 the array representation useful in a more general context.
670 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
671 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
672 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
673 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
674 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
676 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
677 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
678 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
679 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
680 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
683 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
684 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
685 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
686 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
688 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
689 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
690 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
691 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
692 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
698 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
699 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
703 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
704 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
707 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
708 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
711 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
712 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
713 functional reference processing.
716 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
717 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
721 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
722 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
723 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
726 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
727 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
728 application to support multiple signers.
731 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
735 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
736 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
737 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
738 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
739 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
742 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
746 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
747 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
748 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
749 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
753 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
754 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
755 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
756 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
757 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
758 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
759 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
760 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
763 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
764 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
765 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
766 between digests and public key types.
769 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
770 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
771 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
772 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
775 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
776 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
780 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
783 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
787 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
788 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
789 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
790 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
795 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
797 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
799 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
801 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
802 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
803 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
804 functionality for RSA.
807 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
808 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
809 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
812 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
813 key API, doesn't do much yet.
816 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
817 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
818 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
821 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
822 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
825 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
826 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
829 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
830 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
834 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
835 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
836 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
840 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
841 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
842 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
843 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
844 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
845 of public and private key structures.
848 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
849 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
852 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
853 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
854 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
857 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
861 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
862 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
864 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
866 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
868 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
869 and response verification functionality.
870 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
872 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
873 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
874 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
875 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
876 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
877 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
878 server_name extension.
880 New functions (subject to change):
883 SSL_get_servername_type()
886 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
888 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
889 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
890 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
891 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
892 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
894 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
896 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
897 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
898 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
899 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
900 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
901 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
904 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
906 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
909 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
910 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
911 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
912 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
913 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
916 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
917 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
921 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
922 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
923 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
924 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
927 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
928 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
929 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
930 using the maximum available value.
933 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
934 in addition to the text details.
937 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
938 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
939 handle several customised structures at all.
942 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
943 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
944 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
947 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
950 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
951 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
952 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
955 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
956 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
957 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
960 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
961 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
965 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
968 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
971 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [xx XXX xxxx]
973 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
974 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
975 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
977 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
978 common in certificates and some applications which only call
979 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
982 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
984 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
985 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
986 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
987 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
988 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
989 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
990 protection is active. (CVE-2010-####)
991 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley]
993 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
994 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
995 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
997 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
999 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1000 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1002 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1003 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1006 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1007 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1008 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1011 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1012 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1013 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1014 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1015 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1016 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1019 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1020 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1021 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1024 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1025 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1026 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1027 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1028 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1029 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1033 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1034 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1037 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1038 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1039 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1042 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1045 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1046 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1047 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1048 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1049 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1050 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1051 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1052 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1053 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1056 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1057 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1058 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1061 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1062 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1065 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1066 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1067 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1068 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1069 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1070 know what you are doing.
1071 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1073 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1074 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1075 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1076 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1077 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1078 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1082 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1083 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1084 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1086 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1088 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1089 warnings in other configurations.
1092 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1093 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1094 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1096 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1098 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1099 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1100 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1102 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1103 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1104 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1105 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1108 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1112 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1113 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1115 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1117 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1118 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1119 other than a simple chain.
1120 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1122 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1123 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1124 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1125 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1128 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1129 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1130 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1131 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1132 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1133 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1134 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1135 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1136 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1138 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1139 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1140 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1141 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1142 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1143 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1145 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1147 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1148 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1151 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1152 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1155 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1157 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1159 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1160 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1161 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1162 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1163 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1167 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1169 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1170 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1171 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1172 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1174 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1175 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1176 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1177 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1179 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1180 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1181 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1184 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1185 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1189 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1190 to handle some structures.
1193 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1195 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1197 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1200 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1203 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1206 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1207 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1211 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1213 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1215 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1217 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1220 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1221 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1222 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1223 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1225 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1226 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1228 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1229 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1232 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1233 s_client and s_server.
1236 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1237 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1239 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1240 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1242 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1243 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1244 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1245 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1246 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1249 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1251 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1252 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1255 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1256 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1259 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1260 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1261 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1262 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1264 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1265 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1267 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1269 *) Various precautionary measures:
1271 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1273 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1274 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1275 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1277 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1278 outside the expected range.
1280 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1283 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1285 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1286 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1287 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1289 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1292 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1295 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1297 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1300 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1301 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1302 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1304 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1307 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1308 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1309 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1313 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1315 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1316 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1317 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1318 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1320 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1321 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1324 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1326 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1327 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1328 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1330 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1332 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1333 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1334 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1335 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1338 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1339 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1340 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1341 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1342 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1343 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1344 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1346 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1348 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1349 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1350 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1351 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1352 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1354 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1355 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1357 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1358 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1359 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1360 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1361 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1363 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1365 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1366 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1367 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1368 sets may exist with different names.
1371 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1372 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1373 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1374 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1375 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1376 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1377 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1378 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1379 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1381 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1383 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1384 implemention in the following ways:
1386 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1389 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1390 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1391 ignored for embedded content.
1393 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1394 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1397 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1398 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1399 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1400 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1402 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1403 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1406 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1407 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1410 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1411 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1412 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1413 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1414 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1415 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1419 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1420 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1421 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1425 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets

1427 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1428 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1429 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1430 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,

1440 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1442 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1443 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1444 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1445 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1446 to s_client and s_server.
1449 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1451 *) Fix various bugs:
1452 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1453 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1454 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1455 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1456 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1458 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1460 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1461 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1462 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1463 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1464 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1465 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1466 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1467 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1470 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1471 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1472 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1475 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1476 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1477 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1480 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1481 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1484 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1485 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1486 with no application modification.
1488 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1489 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1491 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1492 or server extensions to be examined.
1494 This work was sponsored by Google.
1497 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1498 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1499 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1500 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1501 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1502 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1503 server_name extension.
1505 New functions (subject to change):
1507 SSL_get_servername()
1508 SSL_get_servername_type()
1511 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1513 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1514 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1515 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1516 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1517 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1519 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1521 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1522 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1523 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1524 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1525 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1526 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1529 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1531 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1534 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1537 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1538 (which previously caused an internal error).
1541 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1544 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1545 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1547 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1548 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1549 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1551 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1552 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1553 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1554 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1556 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1557 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1558 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1559 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1561 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1562 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1563 information. For detailed background information, see
1564 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1565 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1566 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1567 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1568 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1569 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1570 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1571 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1572 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1573 remove a conditional branch.
1575 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1576 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1577 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1578 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1579 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1580 remains as a deprecated alias.
1582 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1583 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1584 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1585 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1587 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1588 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1589 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1590 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1591 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1592 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1593 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1594 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1596 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1598 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1599 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1600 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1601 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1602 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1603 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1604 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1605 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1606 in a different context.
1609 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1610 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1611 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1614 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1615 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1616 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1618 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1620 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1621 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1622 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1623 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1624 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1627 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1628 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1629 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1630 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1631 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1632 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1635 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1636 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1637 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1638 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1639 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1642 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1643 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1645 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1646 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1647 Improve header file function name parsing.
1650 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1651 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1654 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1656 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1657 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1658 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1660 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1661 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1663 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1664 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1666 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1667 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1668 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1670 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1671 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1672 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1673 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1674 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1675 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1676 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1677 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1678 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1680 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1681 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1682 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1683 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1684 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1686 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1687 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1688 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1689 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1690 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1691 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1692 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1693 multiple values to extend the available space.
1697 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1699 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1700 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1702 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1705 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1706 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1707 undesirable limitations.
1708 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1710 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1711 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1712 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1713 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1714 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1715 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1716 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1719 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1721 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1722 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1723 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1725 The latter two were purportedly from
1726 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1729 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1730 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1731 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1734 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1735 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1738 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1739 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1740 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1741 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1743 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1744 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1745 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1748 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1749 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1750 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1751 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1752 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1753 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1756 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1758 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1759 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1762 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1763 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1765 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1766 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1767 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1768 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1771 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1772 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1775 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1776 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1777 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1778 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1779 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1780 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1781 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1785 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1786 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1787 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1788 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1791 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1792 under VC++ build system.
1795 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1796 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1799 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1801 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1802 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1803 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1804 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1805 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1807 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1808 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1809 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1811 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1814 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1815 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1818 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1819 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1821 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1824 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1825 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1827 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1828 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1831 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1832 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to

1838 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1841 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1844 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1845 key into the same file any more.
1848 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1851 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1852 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1854 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1855 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1858 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1859 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1860 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1861 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1862 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1863 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1865 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1866 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1867 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1870 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1871 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1872 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1873 - add new function for parameter creation
1874 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1875 BN_BLINDING parameters
1876 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1877 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1878 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1882 *) Add support for DTLS.
1883 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1885 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1886 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1889 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1890 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1893 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1894 the apps/openssl applications.
1897 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1898 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1899 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1902 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1903 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1905 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1906 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1908 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1909 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1910 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1911 avoid this algorithm.)
1915 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1916 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1917 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1920 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1921 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1924 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1925 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1926 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1929 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1931 The blank line is mandatory.
1935 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1936 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1940 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1941 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1943 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1944 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1945 to support policy checking and print out.
1948 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1949 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1950 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1951 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1953 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1956 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1957 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1959 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1960 implementation contributed by IBM.
1961 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1963 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1964 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1965 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1966 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1968 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1969 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1971 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1972 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1973 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1974 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1975 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1976 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1979 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1980 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1981 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1982 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1983 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1984 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1985 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1988 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1991 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1992 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1993 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1994 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1995 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1996 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1997 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1998 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2001 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2002 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2003 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2004 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2007 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2010 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2013 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2014 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2015 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2016 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2017 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2018 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2019 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2022 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2023 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2026 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2027 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2028 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2031 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2032 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2033 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2037 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2038 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2041 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2042 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2043 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2044 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2047 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2048 initialised value as BN_new().
2049 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2051 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2054 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2055 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2056 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2057 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2058 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2059 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2060 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2061 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2062 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2063 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2064 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2065 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2066 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2067 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2068 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2070 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2071 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2072 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2073 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2076 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2077 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2078 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2079 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2080 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2081 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2082 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2083 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2084 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2087 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2088 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2089 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2090 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2091 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2092 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2093 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2096 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2097 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2098 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2099 these have been updated also.
2102 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2103 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2104 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2105 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2106 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2110 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2111 structure of type "other".
2114 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2115 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2116 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2117 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2118 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2119 situation in the script.
2120 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2122 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2123 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2124 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2125 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2126 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2127 used as premaster secret.
2128 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2130 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2131 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2132 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2134 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2135 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2137 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2138 control of the error stack.
2141 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2144 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2145 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2146 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2147 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2150 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2151 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2152 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2155 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2156 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2157 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2161 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2162 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2163 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2164 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2167 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2168 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2169 the following flags are defined:
2171 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2172 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2173 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2176 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2177 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2178 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2179 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2183 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2184 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2185 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2186 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2187 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2190 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2191 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2192 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2195 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2196 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2197 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2198 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2199 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2200 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2203 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2207 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2210 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2213 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2216 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2217 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2218 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2219 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2220 default implementation more easily.
2223 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2227 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2228 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2231 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2232 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2233 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2234 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2236 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2237 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2238 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2239 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2242 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2243 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2247 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2248 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2249 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2250 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2251 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2252 scalar * generator).
2253 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2255 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2256 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2257 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2261 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2262 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2263 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2264 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2265 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2266 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2267 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2268 linker additions, eg;
2269 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2272 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2273 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2274 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2277 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2278 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2279 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2283 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2284 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2285 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2286 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2289 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2290 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2291 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2292 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2293 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2294 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2295 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2296 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2297 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2298 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2300 Example for using the new callback interface:
2302 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2306 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2308 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2309 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2310 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2311 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2312 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2313 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2318 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2319 available to TLS with the number defined in
2320 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2323 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2324 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2326 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2327 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2328 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2329 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2331 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2332 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2334 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2335 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2339 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2340 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2343 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2344 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2345 and a macro that behave like
2346 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2348 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2351 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2352 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2353 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2355 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2357 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2360 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2361 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2362 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2363 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2365 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2366 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2367 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2368 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2369 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2370 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2371 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2372 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2374 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2375 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2378 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2379 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2381 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2382 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2383 files while avoiding the low level API.
2385 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2386 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2387 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2388 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2390 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2391 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2392 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2393 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2394 instead of the low level API.
2397 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2398 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2399 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2400 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2401 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2404 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2405 down to the template encoder.
2408 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2409 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2412 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2413 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2414 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2415 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2417 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2418 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2420 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2421 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2423 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2424 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2427 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2428 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2429 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2432 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2433 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2435 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2436 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2438 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2439 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2442 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2446 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2447 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2448 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2449 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2450 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2451 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2453 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2454 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2457 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2458 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2459 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2460 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2461 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2462 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2463 various internal method names.)
2465 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2466 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2468 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2469 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2471 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2472 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2474 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2475 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2476 methods are undefined.
2478 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2479 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2481 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2482 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2483 length of the modulus.
2485 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2486 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2488 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2489 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2491 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2492 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2494 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2495 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2496 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2499 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2500 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2501 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2502 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2504 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2505 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2506 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2507 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2509 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2510 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2512 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2513 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2514 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2515 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2516 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2518 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2519 This applies to the following functions:
2524 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2525 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2527 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2528 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2532 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2537 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2539 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2540 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2541 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2542 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2543 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2545 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2546 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2548 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2549 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2550 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2552 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2553 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2555 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2556 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2557 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2558 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2559 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2561 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2563 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2564 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2565 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2566 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2567 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2568 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2569 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2570 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2571 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2572 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2573 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2574 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2576 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2579 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2580 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2581 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2582 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2584 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2585 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2586 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2587 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2592 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2593 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2594 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2595 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2596 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2598 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2599 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2600 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2601 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2602 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2603 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2604 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2605 adding different types of curves.
2606 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2608 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2609 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2610 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2613 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2614 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2616 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2617 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2618 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2619 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2621 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2623 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2624 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2626 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2627 library. Most notably,
2628 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2629 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2630 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2631 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2632 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2633 extracted before the specific public key;
2634 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2635 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2637 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2638 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2640 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2641 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2642 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2643 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2645 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2646 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2647 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2649 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2650 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2651 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2652 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2653 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2654 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2658 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2660 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2662 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2664 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2665 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2666 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2669 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2670 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2671 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2674 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2677 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2678 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2681 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2682 run algorithm test programs.
2685 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2688 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2689 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2690 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2691 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2692 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2695 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2696 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2699 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2701 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2702 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2703 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2705 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2706 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2708 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2709 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2711 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2712 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2713 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2715 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2716 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2717 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2718 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2719 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2720 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2721 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2724 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2726 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2727 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2729 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2730 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2731 undesirable limitations.
2732 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2734 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2736 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2737 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2738 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2740 The latter two were purportedly from
2741 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2744 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2745 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2746 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2749 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2750 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2753 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2755 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2756 module in FIPS mode.
2759 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2762 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2763 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2764 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2765 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2768 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2770 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2771 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2772 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2773 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2774 the difference induced by this change.
2777 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2779 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2780 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2781 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2782 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2783 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2785 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2786 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2787 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2789 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2790 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2793 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2794 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2795 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2796 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2800 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2801 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2802 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2803 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2804 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2806 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2807 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2808 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2809 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2810 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2811 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2813 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2815 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2816 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2817 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2818 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2819 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2822 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2826 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2827 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2828 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2831 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2832 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2833 structures constant.
2836 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2838 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2841 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2842 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2843 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2844 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2845 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2846 some needed definitions.
2849 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2852 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2853 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2854 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2855 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2858 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2860 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2861 server and client random values. Previously
2862 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2863 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2865 This change has negligible security impact because:
2867 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2870 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2873 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2874 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2877 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2880 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2882 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2885 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2886 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2887 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2889 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2892 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2893 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2896 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2897 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2898 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2900 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2903 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2904 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2905 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2909 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2910 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2911 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2912 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2914 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2915 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2916 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2917 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2921 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2923 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2924 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2925 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2926 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2927 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2930 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2933 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2934 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2936 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2937 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2938 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2939 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2940 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2941 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2942 rather than being initialized to 1.
2945 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2947 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2948 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2949 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2951 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2953 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2955 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2956 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2957 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2958 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2959 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2960 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2963 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2964 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2965 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2966 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2967 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2971 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2972 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2973 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2974 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2975 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2978 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2979 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2980 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2984 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2985 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2987 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2990 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2992 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2994 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2995 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2997 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2999 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3000 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3004 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3005 exiting on the first error in a request.
3008 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3009 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3013 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3014 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3015 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3016 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3018 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3019 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3022 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3023 blocks during encryption.
3026 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3027 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3028 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3029 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3033 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3034 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3035 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3036 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3037 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3041 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3043 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3044 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3045 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3046 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3049 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3050 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3051 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3052 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3053 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3055 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3056 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3057 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3058 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3059 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3060 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3061 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3062 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3063 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3066 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3067 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3068 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3069 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3072 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3073 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3076 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3078 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3079 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3080 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3081 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3082 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3084 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3085 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3086 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3088 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3089 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3090 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3091 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3092 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3094 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3095 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3096 used by default when no-err is given.
3099 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3100 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3102 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3103 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3104 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3105 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3106 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3108 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3109 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3110 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3111 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3113 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3115 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3117 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3119 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3120 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3121 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3122 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3126 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3127 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3129 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3130 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3133 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3134 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3135 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3136 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3139 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3140 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3141 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3142 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3143 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3144 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3145 followup to PR #377.
3148 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3149 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3152 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3153 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3154 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
3155 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
3157 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
3159 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3162 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3163 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3164 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3165 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
3167 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3171 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
3172 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
3176 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3177 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3178 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3179 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3180 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3181 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3183 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3184 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3185 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3186 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3187 have to be made anyway).
3190 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3191 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3192 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3195 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3196 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3197 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3200 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3201 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3202 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3204 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3205 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3206 edit numbers of the version.
3207 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3209 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3210 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
3211 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
3213 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
3214 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3216 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3217 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3218 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3220 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
3221 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3223 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
3224 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3226 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
3227 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3229 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
3230 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3232 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
3234 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3236 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
3237 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
3238 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3240 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
3241 representations in a platform independent manner.
3242 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3244 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3245 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3246 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3248 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do

3255 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
3257 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]

3279 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
3281 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3283 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().

3286 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.

3289 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
3290 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
3292 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3294 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
3295 the 0.9.6 release series:
3297 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3298 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
3300 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3302 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
3305 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3306 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
3308 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3309 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3311 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3312 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3313 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3314 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3316 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3317 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3318 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3320 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3321 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3322 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3323 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3325 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3326 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3327 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3330 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3331 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3332 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3333 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3334 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3335 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3336 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3337 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3340 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3341 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3342 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3345 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3346 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3347 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3348 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3349 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3351 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3352 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3354 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3355 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3358 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3359 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3360 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3361 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3362 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3363 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3366 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3367 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3368 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3371 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3372 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3375 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3376 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3377 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3378 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3379 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3380 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3381 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3384 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3385 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3386 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3387 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3388 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3389 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3392 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3393 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3394 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3395 declaration has been changed from
3398 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3399 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3400 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3401 has been changed into
3402 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3404 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3405 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3406 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3408 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3409 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3411 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3412 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3413 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3414 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3415 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3416 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3417 always load it have also been added.
3420 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3421 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3422 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3424 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3426 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3427 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3428 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3430 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3431 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3432 command line option can be used to specify an
3436 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3437 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3440 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3441 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3442 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3445 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3446 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3447 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3448 to work with the new engine framework.
3449 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3451 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3452 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3453 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3454 to work with the new engine framework.
3457 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3458 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3459 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3461 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3462 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3464 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3465 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3466 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3467 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3469 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3471 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3472 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3474 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3475 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3477 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3478 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3479 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3482 *) Add new functions
3484 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3485 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3486 These are similar to
3489 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3490 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3491 still in the error queue.
3492 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3494 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3496 default_algorithms = ALL
3497 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3500 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3503 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3506 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3507 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3508 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3509 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3511 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3512 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3514 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3515 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3517 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3518 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3521 *) New functions/macros
3523 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3524 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3525 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3526 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3528 to request calling a callback function
3530 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3531 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3533 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3534 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3535 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3536 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3537 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3538 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3539 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3540 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3541 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3542 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3544 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3545 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3548 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3549 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3550 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3551 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3552 the configuration scripts.
3554 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3555 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3556 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3558 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3559 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3561 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3562 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3563 when reusing an existing buffer.
3566 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3567 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3570 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3571 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3574 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3575 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3576 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3577 has the same effect.
3578 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3580 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3581 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3582 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3583 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3584 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3585 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3588 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3589 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3590 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3591 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3593 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3594 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3595 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3596 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3598 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3599 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3602 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3603 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3604 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3605 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3606 default), and then completely removed.
3609 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3610 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3611 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3612 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3613 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3614 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3615 particular extension is supported.
3618 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3619 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3622 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3623 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3624 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3625 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3626 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3627 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3628 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3629 requires the destination to be valid.
3631 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3632 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3635 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3636 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3637 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3640 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3641 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3643 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3644 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3645 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3646 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3647 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3648 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3649 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3650 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3651 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3652 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3653 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3654 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3655 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3656 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3657 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3658 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3659 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3660 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3661 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3665 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3668 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3669 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3670 become part of libeay.num as well.
3673 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3674 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3675 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3676 false once a handshake has been completed.
3677 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3678 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3679 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3680 client has followed the request.)
3683 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3684 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3685 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3686 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3688 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3689 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3690 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3693 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3696 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3697 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3698 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3701 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3702 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3705 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3706 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3707 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3708 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3711 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3712 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3713 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3714 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3715 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3716 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3719 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3720 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3721 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3722 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3723 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3724 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3725 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3726 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3729 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3730 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3733 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3736 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3737 md_data void pointer.
3740 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3741 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3742 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3743 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3744 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3745 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3748 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3749 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3750 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3751 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3752 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3753 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3754 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3755 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3756 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3757 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3758 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3759 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3760 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3761 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3762 rather than letting it slide.
3764 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3765 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3766 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3769 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3770 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3771 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3772 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3773 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3774 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3775 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3776 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3777 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3780 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3781 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3782 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3783 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3784 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3786 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3789 *) Add EVP test program.
3792 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3795 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3796 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3797 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3798 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3799 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3802 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3803 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3804 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3805 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3806 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3807 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3808 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3810 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3811 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3812 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3817 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3818 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3819 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3820 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3821 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3825 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3826 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3827 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3828 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3831 des_key_schedule ks;
3833 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3834 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3836 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3839 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3840 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3841 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3842 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3843 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3844 functions prevents this.
3847 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3850 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3851 correct _ecb suffix.
3854 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3855 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3856 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3857 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3858 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3861 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3864 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3865 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3866 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3867 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3869 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3870 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3872 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3873 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3874 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3875 via Richard Levitte]
3877 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3878 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3879 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3880 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3883 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3886 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3887 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3901 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3902 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3904 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3905 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3906 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3907 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3908 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3909 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3912 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3913 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3916 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3917 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3918 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3919 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3921 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3922 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3923 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3924 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3925 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3926 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3930 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3931 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3932 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3933 and interrupts/cancellations.
3936 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3937 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3940 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3941 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3942 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3944 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3945 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3949 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3950 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3951 than this minimum value is recommended.
3954 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3955 that are easily reachable.
3958 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3959 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3961 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3963 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3964 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3965 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3966 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3969 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3970 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3971 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3974 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3975 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3976 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3977 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3978 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3979 internally such as S/MIME.
3981 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3982 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3983 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3985 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3989 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3990 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3991 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3992 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3994 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3996 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3998 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3999 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4000 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4004 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4005 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4006 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4007 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4008 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4009 a window system and the like.
4012 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4013 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4016 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4017 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4018 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4019 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4020 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4021 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4022 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4023 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4024 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4028 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4029 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4033 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4034 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4035 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4036 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4037 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4038 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4039 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4040 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4043 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4044 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4045 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4046 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4047 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4048 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4049 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4050 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4051 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4052 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4053 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4054 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4055 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4056 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4057 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4058 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4059 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4062 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4063 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4064 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4065 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4066 internal engine_int.h header.
4069 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4070 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4071 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4072 modify their own ones).
4075 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4076 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4077 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4078 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4079 later on via ctrl() commands.
4080 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4081 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4082 structural references.
4083 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
4084 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
4085 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
4086 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
4087 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
4088 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
4089 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
4090 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4091 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4092 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4093 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4094 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4097 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4098 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4099 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4100 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4101 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4102 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4103 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4104 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4107 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4108 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4111 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4112 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4115 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4116 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4117 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4118 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4119 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4120 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4121 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4124 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4125 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4126 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4127 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4128 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4130 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4131 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4135 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4137 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4138 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4139 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4141 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4142 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4144 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4145 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4146 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4148 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4149 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4151 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4152 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4154 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4156 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4157 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4158 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4161 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4162 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4165 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4166 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4167 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4168 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4169 is 40 of more characters long.
4172 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4173 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4177 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4178 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4181 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4182 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4186 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4188 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4189 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4192 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4194 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4195 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4196 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4198 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4199 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4201 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4204 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4208 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4209 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4210 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4211 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4213 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4215 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4216 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4218 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4219 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4220 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4221 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4222 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4223 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4225 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4226 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4228 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4229 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4231 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4232 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4234 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4235 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4236 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4237 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4239 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4240 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4242 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4243 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4245 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4246 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4247 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4248 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4249 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4252 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4253 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4254 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4255 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4258 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4259 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4260 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4264 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4265 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4266 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4267 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4268 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4269 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4270 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4271 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4275 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4276 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4279 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4280 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4281 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4282 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4285 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4286 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4287 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4288 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4289 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4290 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4291 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4292 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4293 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4294 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4297 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4298 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4299 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4300 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4301 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4302 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4303 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4304 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4306 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4307 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4308 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4309 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4312 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4313 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4314 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4315 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4317 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4318 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4319 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4320 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4321 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4325 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4326 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4327 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4328 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4332 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4333 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4334 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4337 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4338 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4339 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4340 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4341 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4344 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4347 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4348 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4349 option to ocsp utility.
4352 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4353 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4354 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4355 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4356 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4357 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4358 the request is nonce-less.
4361 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4362 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4363 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4366 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4367 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4368 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4371 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4372 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4373 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4374 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4375 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4378 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4379 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4383 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4384 additional certificates supplied.
4387 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4388 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4392 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4393 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4396 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4397 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4398 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4399 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4400 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4401 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4402 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4403 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4404 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4406 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4407 request to response.
4410 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4411 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4412 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4413 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4414 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4415 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4416 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4417 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4418 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4419 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4420 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4423 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4424 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4425 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4426 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4429 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4430 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4432 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4433 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4434 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4437 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4438 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4439 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4440 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4441 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4443 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4444 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4445 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4448 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4449 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4450 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4451 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4452 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4453 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4454 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4455 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4457 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4458 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4459 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4460 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4461 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4462 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4465 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4466 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4467 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4468 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4469 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4470 printout format cleaned up.
4473 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4474 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4475 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4476 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4477 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4478 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4479 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4480 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4483 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4484 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4485 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4486 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4487 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4488 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4489 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4490 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4493 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4494 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4495 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4496 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4498 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4500 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4501 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4502 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4503 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4506 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4507 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4508 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4509 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4511 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4513 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4514 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4515 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4516 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4518 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4519 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4521 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4522 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4523 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4526 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4527 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4528 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4531 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4532 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4533 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4534 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4535 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4536 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4537 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4538 functions are provided:
4540 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4541 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4542 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4543 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4545 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4546 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4547 extended allocation function is enabled.
4548 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4549 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4550 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4552 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4553 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4554 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4555 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4556 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4559 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4560 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4561 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4563 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4564 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4565 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4568 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4569 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4570 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4571 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4572 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4573 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4574 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4575 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4576 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4579 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4580 provide utility functions which an application needing
4581 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4582 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4583 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4585 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4586 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4587 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4588 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4589 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4590 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4591 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4592 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4593 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4595 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4596 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4597 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4598 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4601 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4602 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4603 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4604 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4605 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4606 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4607 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4608 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4609 will be added elsewhere.
4612 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4613 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4614 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4615 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4618 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4619 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4620 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4621 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4622 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4623 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4624 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4625 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4626 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4627 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4628 to produce the required SET OF.
4631 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4632 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4633 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4636 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4637 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4638 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4639 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4640 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4641 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4644 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4645 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4646 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4649 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4650 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4651 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4654 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4655 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4656 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4657 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4658 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4661 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4662 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4665 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4666 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4667 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4668 certifcates and CRLs.
4671 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4672 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4673 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4676 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4677 entries for variables.
4680 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4681 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4682 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4683 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4686 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4687 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4688 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4689 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4690 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4691 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4694 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4695 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4697 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4698 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4699 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4702 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4706 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4707 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4708 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4709 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4710 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4711 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4714 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4717 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4718 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4719 for now but they will eventually go away.
4722 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4723 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4724 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4725 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4726 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4727 has also been converted to the new form.
4730 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4731 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4732 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4733 for negative moduli.
4736 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4737 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4740 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4744 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4745 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4746 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4747 type-specific callbacks.
4750 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4752 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4753 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4755 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4756 in sections depending on the subject.
4759 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4763 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4764 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4765 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4766 be handled deterministically).
4767 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4769 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4770 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4771 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4774 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4777 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4778 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4779 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4780 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4781 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4784 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4785 sign of the number in question.
4787 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4789 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4790 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4791 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4792 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4793 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4796 *) New function BN_swap.
4799 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4800 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4801 results on negative inputs.
4804 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4805 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4806 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4809 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4810 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4811 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4812 and add new functions:
4821 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4825 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4827 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4828 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4830 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4831 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4832 be reduced modulo m.
4833 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4836 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4837 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4838 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4840 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4841 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4842 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4843 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4844 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4845 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4850 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4851 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4852 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4853 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4854 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4856 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4857 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4858 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4862 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4865 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4866 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4869 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4870 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4871 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4872 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4876 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4879 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4882 *) Add the following functions:
4884 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4886 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4888 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4890 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4891 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4892 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4893 libraries unless it's really needed.
4895 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4896 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4897 declarations (they differed!).
4900 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4903 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4906 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4909 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4910 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4913 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4914 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4915 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4917 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4918 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4921 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4924 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4927 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4930 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4931 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4932 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4934 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4935 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4936 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4937 different shared library filenames on each system.
4940 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4943 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4944 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4945 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4947 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4950 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4951 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4952 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4953 binary backward compatibility.
4954 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4955 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4956 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4960 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4961 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4962 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4963 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4967 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4970 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4971 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4972 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4973 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4977 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4980 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4982 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4983 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4984 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4986 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4988 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4990 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4991 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4994 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4996 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4998 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4999 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5001 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5002 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5006 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5007 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5011 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5012 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5013 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5014 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5016 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5017 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5020 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5022 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5023 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5024 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5025 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5028 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5029 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5030 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5031 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5032 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5034 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5035 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5036 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5037 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5038 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5039 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5040 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5041 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5042 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5045 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5047 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5048 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5049 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5050 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5051 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5053 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5054 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5055 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5057 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5059 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5060 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5061 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5062 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5063 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5064 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5067 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5068 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5069 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5070 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5071 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5074 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5075 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5076 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5078 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5079 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5080 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
5084 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
5085 being properly terminated.
5088 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
5089 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
5090 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
5091 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
5093 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
5094 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
5095 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
5096 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
5097 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
5098 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
5099 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
5101 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5103 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5104 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5107 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5108 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5109 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
5110 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
5111 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
5112 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
5113 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
5114 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
5116 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5117 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5118 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5119 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5120 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5122 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5123 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5126 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5128 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5129 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5130 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5132 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5134 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5135 and get fix the header length calculation.
5136 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5137 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5140 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5141 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5142 assertions could call abort()).
5143 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5145 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5147 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5148 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5149 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5151 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5153 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5154 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5155 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5158 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5162 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5163 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5164 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5166 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5167 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5168 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5169 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5170 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5174 *) Changes in security patch:
5176 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5177 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5178 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5181 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5182 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5183 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5184 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5185 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5187 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
5189 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5191 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5192 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5193 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
5195 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5196 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5197 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5199 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5200 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5201 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5203 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5205 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5206 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5207 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5209 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5210 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5212 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5213 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5214 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5215 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5216 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5217 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5220 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5221 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5222 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5223 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5226 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5229 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5230 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5231 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5232 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5233 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5234 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5236 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5237 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5238 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5239 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5240 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5243 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5244 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5245 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5246 BN_generate_prime().)
5248 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5249 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5250 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5254 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5255 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5258 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5259 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5260 when using non-blocking I/O.
5261 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5263 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5264 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5266 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5267 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5270 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5271 configuration for the versions before that.
5272 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5274 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5275 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5276 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5277 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5280 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5281 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5282 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5285 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5289 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5290 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5291 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5293 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5294 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5296 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5297 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5298 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5299 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5300 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5301 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5302 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5305 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5306 using a local variable.
5307 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5309 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5310 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5311 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5313 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5316 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5317 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5319 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5320 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5321 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5323 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5325 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5326 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5327 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5328 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5331 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5335 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5336 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5337 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5338 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5339 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5341 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5342 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5343 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5345 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5346 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5347 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5349 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5350 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5351 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5352 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5354 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5355 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5356 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5358 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5360 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5361 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5363 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5365 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5366 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5367 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5368 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5370 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5371 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5372 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5373 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5375 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5376 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5378 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5379 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5380 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5383 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5384 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5385 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5387 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5389 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5390 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5391 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5392 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5393 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5394 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5395 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5398 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5399 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5400 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5401 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5403 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5404 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5405 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5406 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5407 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5408 the client will at least see that alert.
5411 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5415 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5416 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5417 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5419 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5420 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5421 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5422 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5425 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5426 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5427 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5429 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5430 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5431 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5432 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5433 may leak via logfiles.)
5435 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5436 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5437 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5438 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5442 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5443 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5446 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5447 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5448 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5449 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5450 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5453 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5454 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5456 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5457 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5458 followed by modular reduction.
5459 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5461 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5462 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5465 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5466 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5467 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5468 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5471 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5474 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5475 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5478 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5479 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5480 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5481 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5482 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5483 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5485 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5487 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5488 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5489 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5490 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5491 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5493 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5496 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5497 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5498 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5499 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5500 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5501 to allow the necessary settings.
5504 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5505 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5506 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5507 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5510 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5511 dh->length and always used
5513 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5515 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5516 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5517 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5518 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5519 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5524 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5526 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5532 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5533 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5534 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5535 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5537 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5538 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5539 always reject numbers >= n.
5542 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5543 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5544 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5545 variable) is not atomic.
5548 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5549 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5550 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5551 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5553 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5554 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5556 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5558 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5560 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5563 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5565 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5566 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5567 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5568 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5569 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5570 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5571 to traverse all of 'state'.
5573 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5574 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5575 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5577 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5578 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5580 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5581 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5582 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5583 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5584 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5585 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5586 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5587 further strengthens the PRNG.
5590 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5593 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5594 an error message in this case.
5597 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5600 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5601 positive and less than q.
5604 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5605 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5607 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5609 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5610 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5614 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5616 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5617 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5618 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5619 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5620 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5621 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5622 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5625 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5626 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5627 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5628 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5630 Both problems are now fixed.
5633 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5634 (previously it was 1024).
5637 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5638 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5641 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5644 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5645 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5646 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5649 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5650 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5651 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5652 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5653 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5654 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5655 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5656 environment variables.
5658 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5659 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5660 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5663 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5664 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5665 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5666 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5667 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5668 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5671 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5675 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5677 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5678 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5680 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5681 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5682 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5683 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5687 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5688 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5689 amount of data available.
5690 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5691 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5693 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5694 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5695 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5696 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5699 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5700 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5704 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5705 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5706 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5707 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5710 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5713 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5716 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5717 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5719 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5721 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5722 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5723 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5724 (but broken) behaviour.
5727 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5729 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5731 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5732 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5735 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5739 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5740 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5742 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5745 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5746 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5747 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5749 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5750 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5751 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5754 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5755 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5758 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5759 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5761 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5763 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5765 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5766 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5767 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5768 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5771 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5774 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5775 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5776 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5778 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5781 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5783 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5784 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5785 but the code is actually correct.
5788 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5789 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5790 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5791 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5792 and leaves the highest bit random.
5793 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5795 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5796 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5797 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5798 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5799 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5800 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5801 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5804 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5807 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5808 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5811 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5812 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5813 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5814 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5818 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5819 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5820 and break the signature.
5822 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5824 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5828 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5829 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5830 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5831 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5832 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5835 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5836 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5838 *) ./config script fixes.
5839 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5841 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5844 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5845 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5846 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5847 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5848 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5850 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5851 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5854 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5855 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5858 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5859 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5860 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5861 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5863 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5864 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5866 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5867 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5868 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5869 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5870 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5872 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5875 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5878 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5881 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5884 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5885 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5888 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5889 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5890 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5891 result of the server certificate verification.)
5894 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5895 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5896 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5900 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5901 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5902 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5903 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5904 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5905 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5906 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5907 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5910 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5911 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5912 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5913 happening the other way round.
5916 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5917 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5920 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5921 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5922 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5923 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5926 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5927 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5929 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5931 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5932 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5933 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5936 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5938 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5940 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5944 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5946 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5947 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5948 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5949 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5950 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5952 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5953 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5957 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5960 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5962 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5963 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5964 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5965 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5966 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5967 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5968 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5969 by the Finished messages.
5972 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5973 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5975 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5976 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5977 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5978 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5979 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5983 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5984 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5985 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5986 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5987 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5988 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5989 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5990 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5991 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5995 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5996 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5997 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5998 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6000 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6001 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6002 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6003 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6004 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6007 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6008 been tested well enough.
6011 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6012 it can return incorrect results.
6013 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6014 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6017 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6018 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6019 include zero length content when signing messages.
6022 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6023 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6026 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6029 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6033 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6034 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6035 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6036 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6037 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6038 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6041 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6042 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6044 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6045 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6047 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6048 random number < q in the DSA library.
6051 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6052 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6053 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6054 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6055 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6056 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6057 just makes things more complicated.)
6060 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6064 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6065 work better on such systems.
6066 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6068 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6069 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6070 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6073 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6074 if there was more than one signature.
6075 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6077 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6078 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6079 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6080 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6083 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
6084 rather than always using the current time.
6087 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
6088 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
6089 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
6090 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
6091 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
6092 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
6094 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
6095 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
6097 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
6099 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
6100 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
6101 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
6102 the same hash value.
6104 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6105 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6106 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6107 with X509_STORE internally.
6109 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6110 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6112 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6113 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6114 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6115 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6116 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6117 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6118 entirely (maybe later...).
6120 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6122 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6123 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6124 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6125 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6126 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6127 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6128 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6129 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6131 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6132 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6134 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6135 to customise the verify behaviour.
6138 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6139 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6142 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6143 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6144 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6145 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6146 request is improperly encoded.
6149 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6150 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6153 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6154 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6156 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6157 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6161 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6162 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6163 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6166 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6167 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6168 BIO/fp routines also added.
6171 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6172 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6174 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6175 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6176 demos/state_machine.
6179 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6180 generation and verification.
6183 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6184 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6185 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6186 encode and decode it manually.
6189 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6191 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6193 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6194 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6195 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6196 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6198 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6199 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6200 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6201 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6202 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6205 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6208 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6209 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6210 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6212 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6213 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6214 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6215 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6216 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6217 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6218 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6219 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6221 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6222 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6224 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6226 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6227 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6228 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6232 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6233 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6234 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6235 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6239 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6241 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6244 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6245 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6246 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6247 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6248 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6249 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6250 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6251 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6252 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6253 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6254 short or long names are found.
6257 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6258 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6260 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6261 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6262 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6263 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6265 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6266 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6267 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6268 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6271 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6272 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6273 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6276 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6277 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6278 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6279 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6280 to allow the various flags to be set.
6283 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6284 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6285 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6286 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6287 dates to be checked.
6290 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6291 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6292 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6295 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6296 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6297 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6300 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6301 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6304 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6305 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6306 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6307 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6308 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6309 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6312 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6313 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6317 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6321 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6322 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6323 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6324 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6325 form signing output easier to verify.
6328 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6331 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6332 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6333 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6334 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6335 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6336 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6337 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6338 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6339 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6340 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6343 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6345 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6346 the syntax given in objects.README.
6347 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6349 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6352 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6353 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6354 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6355 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6356 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6357 consistent name changes.
6360 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6363 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6364 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6365 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6366 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6369 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6370 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6371 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6375 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6376 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6377 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6378 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6381 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6382 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6383 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6384 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6385 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6386 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6387 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6388 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6389 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6390 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6391 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6394 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6395 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6396 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6397 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6398 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6399 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6400 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6401 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6402 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6403 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6406 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6407 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6408 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6409 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6411 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6412 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6413 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6414 omit any duplicate addresses.
6417 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6418 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6421 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6422 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6423 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6424 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6425 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6428 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6430 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6431 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6432 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6433 Free => OPENSSL_free
6436 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6437 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6440 *) CygWin32 support.
6441 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6443 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6444 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6445 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6446 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6447 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6451 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6452 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6453 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6454 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6455 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6456 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6457 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6460 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6461 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6462 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6463 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6464 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6465 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6466 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6467 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6468 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6469 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6470 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6473 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6474 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6475 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6476 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6477 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6479 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6480 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6481 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6482 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6483 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6485 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6488 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6489 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6490 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6491 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6493 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6495 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6498 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6499 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6500 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6503 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6504 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6505 any installed hardware versions can.
6508 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6509 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6510 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6514 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6515 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6516 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6517 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6518 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6520 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6521 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6524 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6525 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6528 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6529 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6530 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6534 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6537 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6538 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6539 but no ssl client purpose.
6540 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6542 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6543 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6544 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6545 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6546 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6547 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6548 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6549 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6550 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6551 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6552 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6555 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6556 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6557 be obtained from the error queue.
6560 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6561 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6562 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6563 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6566 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6569 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6570 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6571 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6572 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6573 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6576 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6577 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6578 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6579 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6580 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6583 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6584 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6585 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6587 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6589 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6590 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6591 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6592 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6593 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6594 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6595 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6596 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6597 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6598 or "the configuration storage API"...
6600 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6602 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6603 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6605 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6607 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6609 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6610 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6611 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6612 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6613 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6614 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6615 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6617 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6618 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6621 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6622 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6623 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6624 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6627 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6628 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6629 them in a portable way.
6630 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6632 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6634 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6636 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6637 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6639 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6640 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6641 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6644 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6645 was larger than the MD block size.
6646 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6648 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6649 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6650 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6651 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6655 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6656 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6657 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6659 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6661 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6663 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6664 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6665 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6666 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6667 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6668 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6670 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6671 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6673 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6674 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6677 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6680 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6681 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6683 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6684 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6685 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6686 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6689 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6690 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6691 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6692 does not suppress any output.
6695 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6696 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6697 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6698 with all the associated security issues.
6700 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6701 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6702 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6703 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6704 use the value in the default purpose.
6707 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6708 and fix a memory leak.
6711 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6712 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6713 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6714 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6717 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6718 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6719 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6720 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6723 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6724 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6725 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6728 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6729 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6732 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6733 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6737 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6738 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6741 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6742 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6743 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6746 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6747 number generation fails.
6750 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6753 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6754 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6756 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6759 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6760 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6762 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6763 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6765 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6767 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6768 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6771 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6772 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6774 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6775 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6778 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6779 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6780 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6781 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6782 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6783 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6785 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6786 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6787 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6791 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6792 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6793 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6794 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6795 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6796 counter, some don't.)
6797 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6798 counters or duplicate objects.
6801 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6802 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6805 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6806 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6807 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6809 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6810 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6811 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6815 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6816 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6819 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6820 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6821 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6825 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6826 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6827 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6830 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6831 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6832 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6833 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6834 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6835 should work without changes.
6838 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6839 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6840 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6841 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6842 must be defined. E.g.,
6843 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6844 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6845 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6846 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6848 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6852 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6853 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6854 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6857 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6858 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6859 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6860 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6863 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6864 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6865 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6866 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6867 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6868 is prompted for as usual.
6871 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6872 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6873 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6874 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6876 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6877 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6878 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6879 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6882 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6885 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6889 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6892 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6895 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6899 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6902 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6905 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6906 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6909 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6910 options to produce them.
6913 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6914 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6917 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6921 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6922 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6923 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6924 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6925 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6926 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6927 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6930 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6933 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6934 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6935 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6938 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6939 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6941 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6942 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6945 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6946 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6947 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6951 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6952 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6954 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6955 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6956 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6957 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6958 generation becomes much faster.
6960 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6961 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6962 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6963 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6964 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6965 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6966 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6967 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6968 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6969 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6972 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6973 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6974 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6975 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6976 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6977 trial division stage.
6980 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6984 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6987 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6990 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6991 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6992 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6996 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6997 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6998 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7001 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7002 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7003 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7004 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7006 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7007 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7010 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7013 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7014 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7015 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7016 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7019 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7020 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7021 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7024 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7025 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7026 (instead of parameters) in future.
7029 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7030 when a new cipher list is set.
7033 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7034 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7037 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7038 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7039 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7041 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7042 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7043 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7044 an error is flagged.
7046 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7047 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7048 the readability was also increased :-)
7049 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7051 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7052 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7053 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7054 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7058 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7059 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7062 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7063 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7064 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7065 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7068 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7069 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7070 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7071 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7072 because they handle more complex structures.)
7075 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7076 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7077 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7078 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7080 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7081 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7082 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7083 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
7084 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
7085 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
7086 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
7089 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
7090 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
7091 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
7092 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
7093 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
7096 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
7099 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
7100 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
7101 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
7102 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7103 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7106 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7110 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7111 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7112 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7113 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7116 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7119 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7120 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7121 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7122 international characters are used.
7124 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7125 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7126 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7130 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7131 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7132 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7135 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7136 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7137 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7138 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7139 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7140 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7142 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7143 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7144 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7145 be handled by the string table functions.
7147 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7148 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7149 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7150 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7151 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7155 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7156 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7157 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7158 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7159 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7161 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7162 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7163 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7164 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7167 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7168 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7169 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7170 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7171 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7175 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7176 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7177 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7178 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7179 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7180 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7181 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7182 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7184 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7185 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7186 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7189 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7190 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7191 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7192 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7193 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7194 support to pkcs8 application.
7197 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7198 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7199 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7200 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7201 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7202 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7205 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7206 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7207 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7208 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7209 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7213 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7214 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7215 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7216 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7220 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7221 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7222 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7223 and any application specific purposes.
7225 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7226 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7227 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7228 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7229 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7230 if the certificate is self signed.
7233 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7234 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7237 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7238 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7239 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7240 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7243 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7244 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7245 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7246 Update documentation.
7249 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7250 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7251 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7252 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7253 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7256 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7258 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7260 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7261 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7262 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7263 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7264 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7265 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7266 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7267 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7268 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7269 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7271 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7273 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7274 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7275 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7276 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7277 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7279 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7280 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7281 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7282 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7283 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7284 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7285 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7286 request additional information:
7287 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7288 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7290 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7291 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7292 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7295 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7296 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7299 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7302 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7303 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7305 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7306 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7307 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7311 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7312 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7313 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7315 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7316 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7317 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7318 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7319 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7320 included in OpenSSL.
7323 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7324 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7325 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7326 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7327 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7328 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7331 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7335 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7336 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7337 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7338 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7339 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7343 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7347 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7348 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7349 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7350 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7351 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7352 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7353 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7354 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7355 be maintained manually.
7357 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7358 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7359 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7360 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7361 work because people forget to call this function]
7362 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7363 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7364 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7367 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7368 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7369 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7370 should be discouraged from doing it.
7373 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7374 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7375 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7376 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7377 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7378 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7381 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7382 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7383 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7385 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7386 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7387 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7389 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7390 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7391 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7392 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7393 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7394 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7396 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7397 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7398 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7400 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7401 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7404 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7405 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7406 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7407 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7410 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7413 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7414 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7415 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7416 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7417 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7418 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7419 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7420 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7421 keys so we should be OK.
7423 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7424 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7425 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7426 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7427 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7428 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7429 stay in the name of compatibility.
7431 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7432 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7433 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7435 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7436 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7437 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7438 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7439 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7440 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7444 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7445 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7446 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7447 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7448 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7449 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7450 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7451 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7452 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7453 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7454 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7455 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7456 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7459 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7462 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7463 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7464 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7465 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7466 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7467 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7468 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7469 openssl verify ss.pem
7470 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7471 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7475 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7476 (and add it to external session representation).
7477 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7478 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7479 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7480 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7481 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7482 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7484 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7486 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7487 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7488 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7489 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7491 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7492 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7493 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7496 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7497 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7498 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7502 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7503 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7504 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7506 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7507 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7508 certificate auxiliary information.
7511 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7515 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7516 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7517 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7518 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7519 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7520 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7521 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7524 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7525 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7528 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7529 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7530 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7531 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7534 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7537 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7538 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7541 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7542 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7543 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7544 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7545 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7546 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7547 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7548 using the new 'x509' options.
7550 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7551 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7552 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7553 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7557 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7558 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7559 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7560 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7561 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7564 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7565 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7566 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7567 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7568 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7569 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7570 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7571 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7572 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7573 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7576 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7577 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7578 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7579 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7580 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7581 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7582 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7585 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7586 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7587 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7588 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7589 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7590 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7591 openssl.cnf for more info.
7594 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7595 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7596 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7597 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7598 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7599 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7600 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7601 md should be large enough anyway.
7604 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7605 for handling the random seed file.
7607 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7609 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7612 x509 (when signing).
7613 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7614 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7615 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7617 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7618 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7619 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7620 that support '-rand'.
7623 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7624 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7627 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7628 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7631 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7632 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7633 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7634 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7638 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7639 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7640 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7641 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7644 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7645 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7646 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7647 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7648 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7649 print out all the purposes.
7652 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7656 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7657 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7658 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7659 single function call.
7662 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7663 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7666 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7667 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7668 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7671 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7672 when producing the local key id.
7673 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7675 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7676 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7677 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7681 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7682 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7683 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7684 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7687 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7688 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7689 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7690 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7692 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7693 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7694 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7695 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7697 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7698 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7699 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7700 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7701 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7702 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7703 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7704 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7705 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7706 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7707 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7708 trivial: move one line.
7709 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7711 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7712 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7713 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7714 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7715 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7716 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7717 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7718 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7719 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7720 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7721 with an event loop for example.
7724 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7725 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7726 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7727 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7728 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7729 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7730 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7731 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7732 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7735 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7736 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7737 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7738 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7739 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7740 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7743 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7744 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7745 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7746 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7748 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7749 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7750 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7751 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7755 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7756 (still largely untested)
7759 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7760 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7763 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7764 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7767 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7768 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7769 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7772 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7773 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7774 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7775 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7776 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7779 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7782 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7783 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7784 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7785 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7786 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7790 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7791 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7794 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7797 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7798 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7799 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7800 are otherwise ignored at present.
7803 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7804 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7805 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7806 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7807 copied until the next read.
7810 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7811 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7812 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7815 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7816 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7817 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7818 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7819 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7820 associated functions.
7823 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7824 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7825 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7826 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7827 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7828 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7829 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7830 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7831 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7835 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7836 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7837 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7838 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7841 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7842 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7843 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7844 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7845 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7849 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7850 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7854 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7855 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7856 extensions to be obtained and added.
7859 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7860 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7863 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7865 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7866 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7868 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7869 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7871 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7875 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7876 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7877 DH parameters contain its length).
7879 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7880 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7881 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7882 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7883 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7884 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7885 utter importance to use
7886 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7888 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7889 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7890 attacks may become possible!
7893 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7896 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7897 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7900 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7901 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7902 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7906 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7907 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7908 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7909 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7910 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7911 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7912 private key operations.
7915 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7918 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7919 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7921 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7922 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7923 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7924 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7925 the password callback is called.
7926 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7928 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7930 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7931 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7932 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7933 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7934 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7935 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7938 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7939 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7940 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7941 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7942 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7943 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7946 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7949 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7950 delete an unused file.
7953 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7954 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7955 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7956 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7959 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7960 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7961 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7965 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7966 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7967 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7969 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7970 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7971 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7972 comparison" warnings.
7973 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7976 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7977 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7978 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7981 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7982 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7984 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7985 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7987 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7988 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7989 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7991 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7992 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7993 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7994 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7995 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7997 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7999 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8000 The interface is as follows:
8001 Applications can use
8002 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8003 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8004 "off" is now the default.
8005 The library internally uses
8006 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8007 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8008 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8010 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8011 even the default) are now avoided.
8013 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8014 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8015 than just having a counter.
8017 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8019 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8023 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8024 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8025 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8026 Initial "mode" flags are:
8028 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8029 a single record has been written.
8030 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8031 retries use the same buffer location.
8032 (But all of the contents must be
8036 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8039 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8040 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8042 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8043 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8044 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8047 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8048 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8050 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8052 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8053 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8054 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8055 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8057 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8058 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8060 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8061 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8062 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8063 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8064 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8065 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8068 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8069 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8070 necessary function names.
8073 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8074 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8075 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8076 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8079 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8080 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8081 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
8084 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
8085 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
8086 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
8087 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
8089 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
8093 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
8094 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
8095 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
8098 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
8099 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8103 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8104 for the encoded length.
8105 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8107 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8110 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8111 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8112 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8113 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8116 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8117 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8118 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8120 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8121 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8122 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8126 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8127 to use the new extension code.
8130 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8131 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8132 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8136 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8137 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8138 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8142 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8145 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8146 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8147 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8150 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8151 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8152 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8153 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8156 *) DES library cleanups.
8159 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8160 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8161 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8162 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8163 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8167 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8168 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8171 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8172 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8173 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8174 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8175 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8176 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8177 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8178 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8179 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8182 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8183 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8184 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8185 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8186 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8187 value doesn't matter.
8190 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8194 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8195 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8196 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8197 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8199 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8202 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8203 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8204 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8206 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8207 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8209 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8212 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8215 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8218 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8222 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8224 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8226 *) Updated some demos.
8227 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8229 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8232 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8235 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8238 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8239 instead of using a fixed path.
8242 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8245 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8249 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8251 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8252 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8253 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8255 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8256 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8257 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8258 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8259 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8260 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8261 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8262 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8263 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8264 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8267 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8268 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8271 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8272 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8273 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8274 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8275 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8277 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8280 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8281 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8282 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8285 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8288 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8289 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8290 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8291 key elements as negative integers.
8294 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8295 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8298 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8300 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8301 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8302 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8305 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8306 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8307 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8308 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8309 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8312 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8315 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8316 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8317 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8318 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8320 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8321 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8322 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8324 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8325 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8326 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8327 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8328 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8329 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8330 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8331 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8332 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8334 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8335 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8336 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8337 does not influence s as it used to.
8339 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8340 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8341 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8342 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8343 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8344 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8347 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8348 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8349 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8353 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8354 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8355 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8359 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8360 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8361 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8365 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8366 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8369 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8370 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8375 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8376 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8378 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8379 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8381 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8384 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8387 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8388 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8390 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8391 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8392 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8396 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8397 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8398 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8399 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8400 now it really counts the depth.
8403 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8404 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8405 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8406 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8407 didn't match the private key).
8409 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8410 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8411 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8414 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8417 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8421 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8422 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8423 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8426 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8429 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8430 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8431 such as /usr/local/bin.
8434 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8435 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8437 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8440 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8441 extension adding in x509 utility.
8444 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8447 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8451 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8454 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8455 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8456 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8457 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8458 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8459 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8460 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8461 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8462 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8463 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8466 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8469 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8470 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8473 *) Fix some race conditions.
8476 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8477 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8480 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8483 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8484 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8485 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8486 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8488 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8489 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8491 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8492 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8493 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8495 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8496 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8498 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8501 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8502 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8504 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8507 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8508 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8510 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8511 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8514 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8515 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8518 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8519 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8522 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8523 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8526 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8527 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8530 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8531 support typesafe stack.
8534 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8535 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8537 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8538 old X509V3 handling code.
8541 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8544 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8547 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8550 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8551 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8553 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8554 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8555 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8556 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8557 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8560 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8561 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8562 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8563 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8564 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8566 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8567 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8568 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8569 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8571 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8572 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8573 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8574 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8576 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8577 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8578 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8579 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8580 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8581 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8584 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8585 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8588 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8589 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8592 *) Tweaks to Configure
8593 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8595 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8599 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8602 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8603 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8606 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8607 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8608 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8611 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8614 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8615 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8618 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8619 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8620 to library startup routines.
8623 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8624 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8625 codes along the way.
8628 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8629 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8630 objects to objects.h
8633 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8634 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8637 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8638 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8640 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8641 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8642 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8644 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8645 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8646 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8648 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8649 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8650 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8653 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8655 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8656 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8659 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8660 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8661 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8662 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8663 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8665 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8666 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8667 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8669 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8671 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8673 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8675 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8676 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8678 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8679 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8680 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8681 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8683 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8686 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8687 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8688 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8689 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8692 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8693 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8694 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8697 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8698 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8699 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8700 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8701 installed as `perl').
8702 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8704 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8705 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8707 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8708 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8709 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8710 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8711 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8714 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8717 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8718 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8719 is horrible: I feel ill....
8722 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8723 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8724 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8725 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8728 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8729 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8731 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8732 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8733 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8734 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8736 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8737 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8738 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8739 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8740 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8741 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8743 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8745 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8746 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8748 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8749 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8751 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8754 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8755 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8759 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8760 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8761 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8762 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8763 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8764 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8765 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8766 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8767 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8768 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8769 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8771 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8774 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8775 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8776 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8777 for linking it into DSOs.
8778 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8780 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8784 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8785 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8786 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8787 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8788 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8789 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8791 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8792 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8793 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8794 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8795 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8796 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8797 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8799 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8800 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8801 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8805 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8806 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8807 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8808 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8811 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8812 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8813 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8814 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8815 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8819 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8820 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8821 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8822 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8823 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8825 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8826 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8827 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8829 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8830 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8832 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8833 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8834 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8835 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8836 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8839 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8840 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8841 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8842 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8843 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8844 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8845 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8848 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8850 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8851 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8854 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8855 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8857 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8858 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8861 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8862 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8863 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8864 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8865 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8867 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8868 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8869 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8870 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8871 no way to reconfigure them.
8872 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8873 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8874 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8875 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8876 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8877 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8879 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8880 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8881 recognized by the users.
8882 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8884 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8885 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8886 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8887 already masked variable.
8888 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8890 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8891 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8893 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8894 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8895 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8896 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8898 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8899 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8900 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8902 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8903 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8904 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8905 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8906 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8907 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8908 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8909 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8911 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8913 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8914 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8915 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8917 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8918 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8922 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8923 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8925 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8926 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8927 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8928 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8931 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8934 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8935 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8937 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8940 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8941 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8944 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8945 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8948 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8949 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8950 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8951 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8952 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8953 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8954 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8957 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8958 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8960 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8961 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8962 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8963 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8964 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8966 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8967 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8968 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8971 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8972 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8976 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8977 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8978 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8980 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8981 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8982 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8986 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8987 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8988 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8989 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8992 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8993 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8994 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8995 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8998 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8999 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9000 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9001 so it wasn't spotted.
9002 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9004 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9005 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9006 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9007 vectors if you have them.
9010 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9011 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9014 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9015 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9016 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9017 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9019 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9020 it will update them.
9023 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9024 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9025 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9026 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9027 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9028 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9029 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9030 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9032 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9033 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9034 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9035 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9036 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9037 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9038 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9039 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9040 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9041 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9043 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9044 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9045 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9046 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9047 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9050 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9054 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9055 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9057 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9058 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9060 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9061 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9064 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9065 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9067 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9068 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9070 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9073 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9077 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9078 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9079 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9080 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9082 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9085 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9088 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
9091 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
9092 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
9095 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
9096 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
9100 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
9101 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9104 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9105 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9106 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9109 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9110 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9111 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9112 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9113 properly to be processed.
9116 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9117 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9118 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9121 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9122 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9124 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9125 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9126 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9127 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9128 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9129 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9130 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9131 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9132 or delete all the .err files.
9135 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9136 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9137 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9138 to regenerate it if needed.
9139 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9140 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9142 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9143 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9145 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9146 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9147 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9148 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9149 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9152 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9153 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9155 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9156 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9158 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9159 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9160 error, but didn't set one).
9161 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9163 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9166 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9167 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9170 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9171 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9173 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9174 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9175 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9176 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9177 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9178 OID is not part of the table.
9181 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9182 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9185 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9188 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9189 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9193 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9194 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9196 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9198 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9200 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9201 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9203 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9204 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9206 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9207 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9209 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9210 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9213 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9214 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9217 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9218 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9220 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9221 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9223 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9224 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9226 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9227 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9229 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9230 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9231 unused in the certificate verification process.
9232 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9234 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9235 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9238 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9239 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9240 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9242 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9243 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9244 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9245 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9246 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9248 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9249 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9252 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9255 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9258 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9259 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9261 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9264 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9267 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9270 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9271 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9272 other error libraries.
9275 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9278 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9279 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9283 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9284 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9285 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9286 the new set of documenation files.
9287 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9289 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9290 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9291 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9292 number of arguments.
9293 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9295 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9298 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9299 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9300 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9302 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9305 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9309 unixware-2.0-pentium
9313 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9314 before they are needed.
9317 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9321 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9323 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9324 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9325 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9327 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9330 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9331 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9332 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9334 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9335 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9336 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9338 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9339 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9340 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9342 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9343 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9345 *) Updated the README file.
9346 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9348 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9349 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9350 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9352 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9353 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9354 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9356 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9357 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9358 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9359 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9360 o removed obsolete TODO file
9361 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9362 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9364 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9365 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9366 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
9367 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
9368 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
9369 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9370 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9372 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9375 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9376 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9377 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9379 [The OpenSSL Project]
9382 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9384 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9387 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9390 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9391 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9394 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9395 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9399 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9401 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9403 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9406 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9409 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9412 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9415 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9418 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9421 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9424 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9427 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9430 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9433 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9436 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9439 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9442 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9445 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9448 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9451 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
