4 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
6 *) New ASN1 functions to handle sign, verify, digest, pack and
7 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM.
10 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
11 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
14 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
15 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
16 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
20 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
21 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
22 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
25 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
26 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
27 when writing a 32767 byte record.
28 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
30 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
31 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
33 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
34 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
35 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
36 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
37 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
39 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
40 entries for variables.
43 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
46 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
47 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
48 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
49 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
52 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
53 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
54 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
55 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
56 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
57 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
60 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
61 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
63 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
64 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
65 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
68 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
72 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
73 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
74 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
75 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
76 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
77 order did not reflect the encoded order.
80 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
83 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
84 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
85 for now but they will eventually go away.
88 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
89 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
90 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
91 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
92 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
93 has also been converted to the new form.
96 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
97 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
98 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
102 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
103 of not touching the result's sign bit.
106 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
110 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
111 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
112 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
113 type-specific callbacks.
116 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
119 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
121 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
122 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
124 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
127 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
130 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
131 in sections depending on the subject.
134 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
138 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
139 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
140 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
141 be handled deterministically).
142 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
144 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
145 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
146 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
147 result of the server certificate verification.)
150 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
151 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
152 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
155 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
156 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
157 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
161 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
162 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
163 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
164 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
165 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
166 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
167 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
168 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
171 *) New function BN_kronecker.
174 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
175 positive unless both parameters are zero.
176 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
177 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
178 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
181 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
182 sign of the number in question.
184 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
186 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
187 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
188 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
189 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
190 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
193 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
194 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
195 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
196 happening the other way round.
199 *) New function BN_swap.
202 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
203 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
204 results on negative inputs.
207 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
208 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
209 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
212 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
213 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
214 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
215 and add new functions:
228 These functions always generate non-negative results.
230 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
231 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
233 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
234 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
236 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
238 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
239 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
240 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
241 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
242 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
243 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
247 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
248 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
249 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
250 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
251 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
253 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
254 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
255 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
259 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
262 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
263 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
266 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
267 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
270 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
271 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
272 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
273 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
277 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
280 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
283 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
284 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
285 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
286 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
289 *) Add the following functions:
295 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
297 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
298 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
299 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
300 libraries unless it's really needed.
302 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
303 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
304 declarations (they differed!).
307 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
310 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
313 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
316 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
317 identity, and test if they are actually available.
320 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
321 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
323 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
324 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
325 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
327 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
329 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
331 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
332 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
335 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
338 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
341 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
344 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
345 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
346 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
348 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
349 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
350 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
351 different shared library filenames on each system.
354 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
357 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
360 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
361 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
362 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
364 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
367 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
368 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
369 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
370 binary backward compatibility.
371 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
372 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
373 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
377 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
378 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
380 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
382 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
383 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
384 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
387 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
389 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
391 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
395 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
396 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
397 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
398 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
402 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
405 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
406 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
407 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
408 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
412 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
415 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
417 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
418 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
419 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
420 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
421 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
423 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
424 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
428 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
430 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
431 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
432 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
433 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
434 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
435 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
436 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
437 by the Finished messages.
440 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
441 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
443 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
444 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
445 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
446 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
447 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
451 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
452 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
453 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
454 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
455 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
456 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
457 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
458 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
459 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
463 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
464 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
465 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
466 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
468 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
469 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
470 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
471 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
472 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
475 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
476 been tested well enough.
479 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
480 it can return incorrect results.
481 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
482 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
485 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
486 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
487 include zero length content when signing messages.
490 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
491 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
494 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
497 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
501 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
502 packages. The default package contains applications, application
503 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
504 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
505 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
506 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
509 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
510 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
512 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
513 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
515 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
516 random number < q in the DSA library.
519 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
520 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
521 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
522 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
523 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
524 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
525 just makes things more complicated.)
528 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
532 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
533 work better on such systems.
534 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
536 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
537 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
538 keyid to the certificates aux info.
541 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
542 if there was more than one signature.
543 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
545 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
546 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
547 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
548 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
551 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
552 rather than always using the current time.
555 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
556 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
557 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
558 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
559 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
560 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
562 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
563 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
565 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
567 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
568 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
569 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
572 As a result various functions (which were all internal
573 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
574 structure. This will break anything that messed round
575 with X509_STORE internally.
577 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
578 exact match, rather than just subject name.
580 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
581 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
582 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
583 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
584 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
585 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
586 entirely (maybe later...).
588 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
590 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
591 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
592 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
593 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
594 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
595 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
596 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
597 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
599 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
600 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
602 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
603 to customise the verify behaviour.
606 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
607 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
610 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
611 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
612 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
613 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
614 request is improperly encoded.
617 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
618 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
621 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
622 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
624 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
625 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
629 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
630 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
631 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
634 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
635 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
636 BIO/fp routines also added.
639 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
640 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
642 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
643 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
647 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
648 generation and verification.
651 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
652 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
653 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
654 encode and decode it manually.
657 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
659 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
661 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
662 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
663 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
664 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
666 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
667 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
668 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
669 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
670 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
673 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
676 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
677 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
678 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
680 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
681 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
682 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
683 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
684 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
685 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
686 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
687 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
689 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
690 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
692 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
694 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
695 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
696 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
700 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
701 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
702 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
703 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
707 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
709 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
712 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
713 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
714 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
715 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
716 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
717 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
718 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
719 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
720 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
721 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
722 short or long names are found.
725 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
726 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
728 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
729 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
730 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
731 version rollback attacks was not effective.
733 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
734 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
735 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
736 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
739 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
740 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
741 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
744 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
745 these print out strings and name structures based on various
746 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
747 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
748 to allow the various flags to be set.
751 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
752 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
753 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
754 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
758 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
759 negative public key encodings) on by default,
760 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
763 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
764 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
765 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
768 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
769 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
772 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
773 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
774 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
775 are always statically linked for now, but there are
776 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
777 This has been tested on Linux and True64.
780 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
781 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
785 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
789 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
790 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
791 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
792 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
793 form signing output easier to verify.
796 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
799 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
800 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
801 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
802 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
803 are needed because all other string types have virtually
804 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
805 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
806 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
807 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
808 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
811 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
813 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
814 the syntax given in objects.README.
815 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
817 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
820 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
821 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
822 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
823 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
824 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
825 consistent name changes.
828 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
831 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
832 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
833 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
834 environment variable, or the default random state file.
837 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
838 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
839 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
843 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
844 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
845 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
846 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
849 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
850 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
851 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
852 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
853 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
854 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
855 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
856 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
857 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
858 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
862 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
863 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
864 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
865 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
866 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
867 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
868 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
869 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
870 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
871 algorithm to openssl-dev.
874 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
875 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
876 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
877 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
879 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
880 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
881 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
882 omit any duplicate addresses.
885 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
886 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
889 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
890 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
891 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
892 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
893 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
896 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
898 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
899 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
900 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
904 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
905 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
909 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
911 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
912 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
913 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
914 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
915 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
919 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
920 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
921 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
922 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
923 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
924 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
925 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
928 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
929 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
930 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
931 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
932 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
933 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
934 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
935 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
936 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
937 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
938 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
941 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
942 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
943 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
944 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
945 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
947 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
948 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
949 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
950 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
951 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
953 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
956 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
957 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
958 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
959 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
961 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
963 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
966 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
967 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
968 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
971 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
972 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
973 any installed hardware versions can.
976 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
977 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
978 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
982 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
983 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
984 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
985 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
986 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
988 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
989 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
992 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
993 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
996 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
997 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
998 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
1002 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
1005 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
1006 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
1007 but no ssl client purpose.
1008 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
1010 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
1011 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
1012 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
1013 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
1014 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
1015 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
1016 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
1017 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
1018 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
1019 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
1020 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
1023 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
1024 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
1025 be obtained from the error queue.
1028 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
1029 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
1030 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
1031 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
1034 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
1037 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
1038 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
1039 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
1040 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
1041 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
1044 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
1045 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
1046 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
1047 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
1048 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
1051 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
1052 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
1053 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
1055 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
1057 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
1058 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
1059 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
1060 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
1061 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
1062 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
1063 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
1064 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
1065 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
1066 or "the configuration storage API"...
1068 The new configuration file reading functions are:
1070 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
1071 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
1073 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
1075 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
1077 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
1078 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
1079 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
1080 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
1081 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
1082 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
1083 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
1085 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
1086 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
1089 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
1090 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
1091 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
1092 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
1095 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
1096 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
1097 them in a portable way.
1098 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
1100 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
1102 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
1104 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
1105 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
1107 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
1108 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
1109 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
1112 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
1113 was larger than the MD block size.
1114 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
1116 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
1117 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
1118 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
1119 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
1123 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
1124 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
1125 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
1127 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
1129 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
1131 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
1132 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
1133 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
1134 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
1135 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
1136 Additional arguments are always ignored.
1138 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
1139 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
1141 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
1142 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
1145 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
1148 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
1149 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
1151 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
1152 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
1153 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
1154 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
1157 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
1158 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
1159 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
1160 does not suppress any output.
1163 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
1164 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
1165 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
1166 with all the associated security issues.
1168 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
1169 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
1170 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
1171 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
1172 use the value in the default purpose.
1175 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
1176 and fix a memory leak.
1179 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
1180 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
1181 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
1182 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
1185 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
1186 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
1187 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
1188 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
1191 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
1192 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
1193 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
1196 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
1197 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
1200 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
1201 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
1205 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
1206 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
1209 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
1210 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
1211 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
1214 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
1215 number generation fails.
1218 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
1221 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
1222 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
1224 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
1227 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
1228 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
1230 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
1231 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
1233 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
1235 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
1236 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
1239 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
1240 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
1242 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
1243 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
1246 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
1247 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
1248 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
1249 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
1250 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
1251 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
1253 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
1254 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
1255 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
1259 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
1260 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
1261 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
1262 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
1263 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
1264 counter, some don't.)
1265 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
1266 counters or duplicate objects.
1269 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
1270 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
1273 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
1274 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
1275 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
1277 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
1278 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
1279 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
1283 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
1284 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
1287 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
1288 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
1289 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
1293 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
1294 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
1295 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
1298 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
1299 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
1300 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
1301 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
1302 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
1303 should work without changes.
1306 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
1307 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
1308 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
1309 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
1310 must be defined. E.g.,
1311 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
1312 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
1313 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
1314 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
1316 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
1320 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
1321 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
1322 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
1325 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
1326 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
1327 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
1328 request header lines. Some software needs this.
1331 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
1332 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
1333 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
1334 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
1335 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
1336 is prompted for as usual.
1339 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
1340 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
1341 autodetect the card and use it if present.
1342 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
1344 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
1345 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
1346 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
1347 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
1350 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
1353 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
1357 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
1360 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
1363 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
1367 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
1370 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
1373 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
1374 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
1377 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
1378 options to produce them.
1381 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
1382 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
1385 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
1389 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
1390 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
1391 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
1392 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
1393 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
1394 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
1395 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
1398 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
1401 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
1402 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
1403 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
1406 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
1407 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
1409 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
1410 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
1413 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
1414 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
1415 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
1419 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
1420 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
1422 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
1423 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
1424 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
1425 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
1426 generation becomes much faster.
1428 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
1429 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
1430 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
1431 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
1432 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
1433 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
1434 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
1435 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
1436 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
1437 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
1440 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
1441 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
1442 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
1443 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
1444 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
1445 trial division stage.
1448 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
1452 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
1455 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
1458 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
1459 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
1460 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
1464 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
1465 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
1466 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
1469 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
1470 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
1471 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
1472 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
1474 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
1475 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
1478 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
1481 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
1482 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
1483 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
1484 Rabin-Miller iterations.
1487 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
1488 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
1489 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
1492 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
1493 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
1494 (instead of parameters) in future.
1497 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
1498 when a new cipher list is set.
1501 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
1502 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
1505 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
1506 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
1507 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
1509 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
1510 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
1511 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
1512 an error is flagged.
1514 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
1515 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
1516 the readability was also increased :-)
1517 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
1519 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
1520 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
1521 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
1522 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
1526 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
1527 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
1530 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
1531 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
1532 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
1533 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
1536 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
1537 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
1538 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
1539 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
1540 because they handle more complex structures.)
1543 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
1544 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
1545 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
1546 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
1548 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
1549 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
1550 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
1551 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
1552 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
1553 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
1554 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
1557 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
1558 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
1559 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
1560 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
1561 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
1564 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
1567 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
1568 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
1569 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
1570 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
1571 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
1574 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
1578 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
1579 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
1580 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
1581 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
1584 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
1587 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
1588 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
1589 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
1590 international characters are used.
1592 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
1593 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
1594 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
1598 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
1599 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
1600 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
1603 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
1604 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
1605 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
1606 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
1607 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
1608 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
1610 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
1611 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
1612 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
1613 be handled by the string table functions.
1615 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
1616 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
1617 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
1618 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
1619 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
1623 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
1624 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
1625 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
1626 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
1627 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
1629 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
1630 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
1631 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
1632 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
1635 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
1636 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
1637 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
1638 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
1639 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
1643 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
1644 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
1645 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
1646 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
1647 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
1648 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
1649 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
1650 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
1652 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
1653 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
1654 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
1657 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
1658 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
1659 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
1660 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
1661 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
1662 support to pkcs8 application.
1665 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
1666 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
1667 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
1668 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
1669 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
1670 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
1673 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
1674 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
1675 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
1676 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
1677 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
1681 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
1682 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
1683 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
1684 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
1688 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
1689 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
1690 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
1691 and any application specific purposes.
1693 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
1694 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
1695 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
1696 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
1697 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
1698 if the certificate is self signed.
1701 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
1702 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
1705 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
1706 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
1707 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
1708 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
1711 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
1712 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
1713 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
1714 Update documentation.
1717 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
1718 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
1719 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
1720 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
1721 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
1724 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
1726 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
1728 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
1729 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
1730 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
1731 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
1732 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
1733 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
1734 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
1735 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
1736 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
1737 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
1739 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
1741 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
1742 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
1743 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
1744 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
1745 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
1747 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
1748 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
1749 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
1750 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
1751 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
1752 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
1753 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
1754 request additional information:
1755 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
1756 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
1758 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
1759 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
1760 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
1763 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
1764 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
1767 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
1770 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
1771 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1773 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
1774 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
1775 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
1779 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
1780 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
1781 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
1783 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
1784 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
1785 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
1786 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
1787 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
1788 included in OpenSSL.
1791 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
1792 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
1793 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
1794 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
1795 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
1796 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
1799 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
1803 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
1804 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
1805 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
1806 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
1807 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
1811 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
1815 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
1816 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
1817 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
1818 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
1819 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
1820 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
1821 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
1822 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
1823 be maintained manually.
1825 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
1826 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
1827 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
1828 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
1829 work because people forget to call this function]
1830 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
1831 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
1832 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
1835 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
1836 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
1837 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
1838 should be discouraged from doing it.
1841 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
1842 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
1843 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
1844 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
1845 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
1846 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
1849 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
1850 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
1851 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
1853 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
1854 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
1855 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
1857 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
1858 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
1859 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
1860 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
1861 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
1862 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
1864 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
1865 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
1866 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
1868 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
1869 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
1872 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
1873 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
1874 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
1875 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
1878 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
1881 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
1882 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
1883 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
1884 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
1885 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
1886 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
1887 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
1888 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
1889 keys so we should be OK.
1891 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
1892 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
1893 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
1894 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
1895 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
1896 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
1897 stay in the name of compatibility.
1899 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
1900 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
1901 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
1903 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
1904 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
1905 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
1906 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
1907 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
1908 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
1912 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
1913 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
1914 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
1915 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
1916 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
1917 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
1918 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
1919 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
1920 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
1921 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
1922 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
1923 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
1924 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
1927 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
1930 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
1931 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
1932 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
1933 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
1934 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
1935 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
1936 single self signed certificate. This means that:
1937 openssl verify ss.pem
1938 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
1939 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
1943 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
1944 (and add it to external session representation).
1945 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
1946 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
1947 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
1948 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
1949 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
1950 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
1952 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
1954 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
1955 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
1956 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
1957 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
1959 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
1960 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
1961 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
1964 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
1965 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
1966 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
1970 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
1971 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
1972 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
1974 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
1975 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
1976 certificate auxiliary information.
1979 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
1983 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
1984 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
1985 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
1986 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
1987 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
1988 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
1989 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
1992 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
1993 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
1996 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
1997 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
1998 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
1999 manpages and fix a few bugs.
2002 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
2005 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
2006 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
2009 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
2010 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
2011 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
2012 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
2013 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
2014 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
2015 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
2016 using the new 'x509' options.
2018 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
2019 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
2020 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
2021 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
2025 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
2026 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
2027 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
2028 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
2029 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
2032 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
2033 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
2034 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
2035 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
2036 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
2037 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
2038 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
2039 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
2040 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
2041 the key length and effective key length are equal.
2044 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
2045 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
2046 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
2047 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
2048 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
2049 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
2050 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
2053 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
2054 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
2055 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
2056 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
2057 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
2058 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
2059 openssl.cnf for more info.
2062 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
2063 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
2064 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
2065 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
2066 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
2067 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
2068 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
2069 md should be large enough anyway.
2072 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
2073 for handling the random seed file.
2075 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
2077 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
2080 x509 (when signing).
2081 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
2082 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
2083 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
2085 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
2086 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
2087 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
2088 that support '-rand'.
2091 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
2092 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
2095 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
2096 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
2099 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
2100 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
2101 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
2102 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
2106 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
2107 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
2108 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
2109 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
2112 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
2113 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
2114 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
2115 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
2116 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
2117 print out all the purposes.
2120 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
2124 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
2125 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
2126 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
2127 single function call.
2130 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
2131 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
2134 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
2135 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
2136 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
2139 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
2140 when producing the local key id.
2141 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2143 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
2144 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
2145 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
2149 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
2150 a public key to be input or output. For example:
2151 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
2152 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
2155 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
2156 in the message. This was handled by allowing
2157 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
2158 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
2160 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
2161 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
2162 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
2163 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2165 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
2166 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
2167 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
2168 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
2169 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
2170 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
2171 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
2172 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
2173 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
2174 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
2175 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
2176 trivial: move one line.
2177 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
2179 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
2180 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
2181 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
2182 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
2183 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
2184 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
2185 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
2186 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
2187 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
2188 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
2189 with an event loop for example.
2192 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
2193 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
2194 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
2195 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
2196 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
2197 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
2198 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
2199 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
2200 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
2203 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
2204 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
2205 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
2206 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
2207 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
2208 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
2211 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
2212 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
2213 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
2214 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
2216 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
2217 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
2218 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
2219 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
2223 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
2224 (still largely untested)
2227 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
2228 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
2231 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
2232 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
2235 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
2236 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
2237 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
2240 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
2241 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
2242 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
2243 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
2244 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
2247 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
2250 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
2251 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
2252 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
2253 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
2254 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
2258 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
2259 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
2262 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
2265 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
2266 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
2267 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
2268 are otherwise ignored at present.
2271 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
2272 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
2273 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
2274 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
2275 copied until the next read.
2278 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
2279 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
2280 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
2283 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
2284 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
2285 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
2286 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
2287 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
2288 associated functions.
2291 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
2292 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
2293 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
2294 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
2295 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
2296 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
2297 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
2298 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
2299 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
2303 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
2304 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
2305 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
2306 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
2309 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
2310 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
2311 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
2312 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
2313 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
2317 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
2318 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
2322 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
2323 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
2324 extensions to be obtained and added.
2327 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
2328 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
2331 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
2333 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
2334 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2336 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
2337 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
2339 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
2343 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
2344 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
2345 DH parameters contain its length).
2347 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
2348 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
2349 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
2350 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
2351 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
2352 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
2353 utter importance to use
2354 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
2356 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
2357 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
2358 attacks may become possible!
2361 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
2364 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
2365 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
2368 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
2369 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
2370 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
2374 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
2375 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
2376 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
2377 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
2378 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
2379 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
2380 private key operations.
2383 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
2386 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
2387 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
2389 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
2390 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
2391 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
2392 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
2393 the password callback is called.
2394 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
2396 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
2398 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
2399 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
2400 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
2401 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
2402 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
2403 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
2406 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
2407 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
2408 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
2409 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
2410 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
2411 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
2414 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
2417 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
2418 delete an unused file.
2421 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
2422 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
2423 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
2424 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
2427 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
2428 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
2429 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
2433 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
2434 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
2435 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2437 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
2438 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
2439 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
2440 comparison" warnings.
2441 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
2444 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
2445 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
2446 derived keys are printed to stderr.
2449 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
2450 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
2452 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
2453 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
2455 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
2456 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
2457 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
2459 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
2460 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
2461 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
2462 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
2463 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
2465 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
2467 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
2468 The interface is as follows:
2469 Applications can use
2470 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
2471 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
2472 "off" is now the default.
2473 The library internally uses
2474 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
2475 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
2476 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
2478 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
2479 even the default) are now avoided.
2481 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
2482 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
2483 than just having a counter.
2485 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
2487 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
2491 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
2492 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
2493 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
2494 Initial "mode" flags are:
2496 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
2497 a single record has been written.
2498 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
2499 retries use the same buffer location.
2500 (But all of the contents must be
2504 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_mode ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_mode
2507 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
2508 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
2510 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
2511 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
2512 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
2515 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
2516 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
2518 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
2520 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
2521 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
2522 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
2523 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
2525 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
2526 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
2528 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
2529 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
2530 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
2531 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
2532 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
2533 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
2536 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
2537 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
2538 necessary function names.
2541 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
2542 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
2543 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
2544 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
2547 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
2548 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
2549 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
2552 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
2553 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
2554 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
2555 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
2557 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
2561 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
2562 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
2563 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
2566 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
2567 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
2571 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
2572 for the encoded length.
2573 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
2575 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
2578 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
2579 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
2580 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
2581 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
2584 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
2585 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
2586 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2588 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
2589 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
2590 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
2594 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
2595 to use the new extension code.
2598 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
2599 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
2600 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
2604 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
2605 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
2606 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
2610 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
2613 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
2614 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
2615 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
2618 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
2619 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
2620 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
2621 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
2624 *) DES library cleanups.
2627 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
2628 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
2629 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
2630 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
2631 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
2635 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
2636 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
2639 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
2640 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
2641 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
2642 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
2643 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
2644 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
2645 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
2646 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
2647 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
2650 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
2651 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
2652 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
2653 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
2654 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
2655 value doesn't matter.
2658 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
2662 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
2663 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
2664 "linux-sparc" configuration.
2665 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
2667 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
2670 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
2671 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
2672 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2674 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
2675 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2677 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
2680 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
2683 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
2686 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
2690 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
2692 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
2694 *) Updated some demos.
2695 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
2697 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
2700 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
2703 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
2706 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
2707 instead of using a fixed path.
2710 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
2713 *) Improvements for VMS support.
2717 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
2719 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
2720 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
2721 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2723 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
2724 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
2725 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
2726 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
2727 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
2728 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
2729 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
2730 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
2731 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
2732 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
2735 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
2736 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
2739 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
2740 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
2741 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
2742 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
2743 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
2745 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
2748 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
2749 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
2750 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
2753 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
2756 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
2757 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
2758 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
2759 key elements as negative integers.
2762 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
2763 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2766 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
2768 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
2769 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
2770 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
2773 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
2774 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
2775 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
2776 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
2777 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
2780 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
2783 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
2784 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
2785 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
2786 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2788 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
2789 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
2790 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
2792 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
2793 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
2794 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
2795 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
2796 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
2797 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
2798 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
2799 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
2800 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
2802 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
2803 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
2804 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
2805 does not influence s as it used to.
2807 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
2808 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
2809 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
2810 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
2811 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
2812 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
2815 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
2816 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
2817 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
2821 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
2822 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
2823 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
2827 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
2828 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
2829 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
2833 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
2834 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
2837 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
2838 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
2843 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
2844 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2846 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
2847 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2849 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
2852 *) Update HPUX configuration.
2855 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
2856 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2858 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
2859 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
2860 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
2864 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
2865 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
2866 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
2867 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
2868 now it really counts the depth.
2871 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
2872 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
2873 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
2874 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
2875 didn't match the private key).
2877 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
2878 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
2879 connection using the SSL_CTX).
2882 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
2885 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
2889 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
2890 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
2891 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
2894 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
2897 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
2898 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
2899 such as /usr/local/bin.
2902 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
2903 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
2905 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
2908 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
2909 extension adding in x509 utility.
2912 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
2915 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
2919 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
2922 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
2923 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
2924 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
2925 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
2926 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
2927 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
2928 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
2929 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
2930 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
2931 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
2934 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
2937 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
2938 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
2941 *) Fix some race conditions.
2944 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
2945 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
2948 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
2951 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
2952 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
2953 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
2954 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
2956 *) Fix lots of warnings.
2957 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2959 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
2960 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
2961 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2963 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
2964 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2966 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
2969 *) Fix typos in error codes.
2970 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
2972 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
2975 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
2976 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2978 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
2979 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
2982 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
2983 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
2986 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
2987 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
2990 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
2991 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
2994 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
2995 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
2998 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
2999 support typesafe stack.
3002 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
3003 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
3005 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
3006 old X509V3 handling code.
3009 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
3012 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
3015 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
3018 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
3019 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
3021 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
3022 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
3023 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
3024 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
3025 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
3028 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
3029 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
3030 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
3031 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
3032 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
3034 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
3035 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
3036 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
3037 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3039 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
3040 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
3041 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
3042 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3044 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
3045 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
3046 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
3047 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
3048 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
3049 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
3052 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
3053 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
3056 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
3057 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
3060 *) Tweaks to Configure
3061 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
3063 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
3067 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
3070 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
3071 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
3074 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
3075 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
3076 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
3079 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
3082 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
3083 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
3086 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
3087 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
3088 to library startup routines.
3091 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
3092 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
3093 codes along the way.
3096 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
3097 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
3098 objects to objects.h
3101 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
3102 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
3105 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
3106 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
3108 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
3109 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
3110 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
3112 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
3113 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
3114 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3116 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
3117 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
3118 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
3121 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
3123 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
3124 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
3127 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
3128 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
3129 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
3130 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
3131 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
3133 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
3134 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
3135 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
3137 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3139 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
3141 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
3143 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
3144 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3146 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
3147 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
3148 if someone would make that last step automatic.
3149 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
3151 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
3154 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
3155 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
3156 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
3157 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
3160 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
3161 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
3162 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
3165 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
3166 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
3167 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
3168 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
3169 installed as `perl').
3170 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
3172 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
3173 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
3175 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
3176 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
3177 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
3178 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
3179 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
3182 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
3185 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
3186 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
3187 is horrible: I feel ill....
3190 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
3191 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
3192 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
3193 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
3196 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
3197 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3199 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
3200 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
3201 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
3202 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3204 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
3205 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
3206 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
3207 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
3208 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
3209 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
3211 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3213 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
3214 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
3216 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
3217 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
3219 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
3222 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
3223 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
3227 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
3228 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
3229 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
3230 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
3231 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
3232 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
3233 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
3234 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
3235 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
3236 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
3237 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3239 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
3242 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
3243 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
3244 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
3245 for linking it into DSOs.
3246 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3248 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
3252 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
3253 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
3254 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
3255 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
3256 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
3257 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3259 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
3260 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
3261 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
3262 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
3263 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
3264 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
3265 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3267 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
3268 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
3269 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
3273 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
3274 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
3275 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
3276 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
3279 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
3280 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
3281 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
3282 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
3283 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
3287 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
3288 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
3289 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
3290 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
3291 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3293 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
3294 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
3295 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
3297 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
3298 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
3300 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
3301 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
3302 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
3303 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
3304 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
3307 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
3308 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
3309 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
3310 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
3311 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
3312 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
3313 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
3316 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
3318 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
3319 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
3322 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
3323 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
3325 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
3326 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
3329 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
3330 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
3331 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
3332 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
3333 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
3335 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
3336 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
3337 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
3338 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
3339 no way to reconfigure them.
3340 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
3341 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
3342 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
3343 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
3344 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
3345 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3347 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
3348 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
3349 recognized by the users.
3350 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3352 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
3353 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
3354 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
3355 already masked variable.
3356 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3358 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
3359 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3361 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
3362 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
3363 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
3364 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3366 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
3367 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
3368 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3370 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
3371 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
3372 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
3373 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
3374 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
3375 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
3376 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
3377 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
3379 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3381 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
3382 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
3383 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3385 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
3386 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
3390 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
3391 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
3393 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
3394 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
3395 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
3396 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
3399 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
3402 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
3403 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3405 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
3408 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
3409 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
3412 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
3413 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
3416 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
3417 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
3418 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
3419 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
3420 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
3421 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
3422 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
3425 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
3426 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3428 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
3429 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
3430 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
3431 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
3432 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3434 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
3435 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
3436 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
3439 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
3440 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
3444 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
3445 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
3446 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3448 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
3449 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
3450 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
3454 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
3455 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
3456 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
3457 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
3460 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
3461 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
3462 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
3463 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
3466 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
3467 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
3468 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
3469 so it wasn't spotted.
3470 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
3472 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
3473 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
3474 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
3475 vectors if you have them.
3478 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
3479 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
3482 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
3483 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
3484 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
3485 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
3487 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
3488 it will update them.
3491 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
3492 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
3493 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
3494 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
3495 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
3496 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
3497 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
3498 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3500 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
3501 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
3502 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
3503 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
3504 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
3505 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
3506 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
3507 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
3508 the crypto/md/ stuff).
3509 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3511 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
3512 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
3513 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
3514 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
3515 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
3518 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
3522 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
3523 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3525 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
3526 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
3528 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
3529 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
3532 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
3533 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
3535 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
3536 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
3538 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
3541 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
3545 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
3546 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
3547 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
3548 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3550 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
3553 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
3556 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
3559 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
3560 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
3563 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
3564 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
3568 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
3569 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
3572 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
3573 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
3574 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
3577 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
3578 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
3579 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
3580 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
3581 properly to be processed.
3584 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
3585 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
3586 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
3589 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
3590 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
3592 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
3593 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
3594 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
3595 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
3596 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
3597 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
3598 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
3599 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
3600 or delete all the .err files.
3603 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
3604 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
3605 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
3606 to regenerate it if needed.
3607 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
3608 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
3610 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
3611 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3613 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
3614 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
3615 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
3616 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
3617 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
3620 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
3621 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3623 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
3624 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3626 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
3627 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
3628 error, but didn't set one).
3629 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3631 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
3634 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
3635 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
3638 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
3639 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
3641 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
3642 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
3643 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
3644 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
3645 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
3646 OID is not part of the table.
3649 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
3650 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
3653 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
3656 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
3657 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
3661 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
3662 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
3664 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
3666 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3668 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
3669 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3671 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
3672 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3674 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
3675 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3677 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
3678 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
3681 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
3682 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
3685 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
3686 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3688 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
3689 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3691 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
3692 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3694 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
3695 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3697 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
3698 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
3699 unused in the certificate verification process.
3700 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3702 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
3703 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
3706 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
3707 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
3708 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
3710 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
3711 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
3712 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
3713 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
3714 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
3716 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
3717 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
3720 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
3723 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
3726 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
3727 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
3729 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
3732 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
3735 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
3738 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
3739 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
3740 other error libraries.
3743 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
3746 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
3747 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
3751 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
3752 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
3753 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
3754 the new set of documenation files.
3755 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3757 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
3758 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
3759 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
3760 number of arguments.
3761 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
3763 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
3766 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
3767 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
3768 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3770 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
3773 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
3777 unixware-2.0-pentium
3781 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
3782 before they are needed.
3785 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
3789 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
3791 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
3792 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
3793 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3795 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
3798 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
3799 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
3800 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3802 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
3803 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
3804 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
3806 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
3807 when "ssleay" is still not found.
3808 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3810 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
3811 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
3813 *) Updated the README file.
3814 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3816 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
3817 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
3818 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3820 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
3821 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
3822 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3824 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
3825 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
3826 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
3827 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
3828 o removed obsolete TODO file
3829 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
3830 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3832 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
3833 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
3834 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
3835 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
3836 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
3837 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
3838 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3840 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
3843 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
3844 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
3845 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
3847 [The OpenSSL Project]
3850 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
3852 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
3855 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
3858 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
3859 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
3862 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
3863 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
3867 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
3869 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
3871 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
3874 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
3877 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
3880 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
3883 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
3886 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
3889 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
3892 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
3895 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
3898 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
3901 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
3904 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
3907 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
3910 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
3913 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
3916 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
3919 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
3922 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
3923 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
3924 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3927 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
3928 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
3931 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
3934 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
3937 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
3938 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
3941 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
3944 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
3947 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
3948 bytes sent in the client random.
